Proud to stand up for taxpayers and job growth

Below is the endorsement from CLT's 21/2 PAC. I am proud of this endorsement, because it shows my commitment to taxpayers and job growth in Massachusetts. Let me know what you think. Is the answer to our struggling economy raising taxes or controlling spending?
McGRATH WINS TAXPAYERS’ ENDORSEMENT
Edward B. McGrath has won the endorsement of CLT’s 2½ Political Action Committee in his election bid for State Senator from the Second Middlesex & Norfolk District.
CLT’S 2 ½ PAC, the political arm of Citizens for Limited Taxation, was originally created to support candidates who would defend Proposition 2 ½ in the State Legislature. It now endorses candidates who support taxpayers on a variety of issues, and uses the CLT Legislative rating to identify pro-taxpayer legislators.
Francis J. Faulkner, executive director of the PAC, said the group endorsed McGrath based on his strong consistent support for tax limitation. "We need to put people like Ed McGrath in the State Senate to continue the fight for the income tax rollback and to block any attempt to impose new taxes. Ed has also taken the taxpayer protection pledge. This pledge asks candidates to ‘oppose and vote against any and all efforts to increase taxes’ A candidate who signs the pledge is sending a message to legislative leaders that he is serious about not raising taxes and will focus instead on better management of state revenues." In contrast, his opponent Senator Spilka, received a lowly 21% on CLT’s most recent taxpayer rating.
In serving the best interests of the taxpayers and the economy, we urge the voters of the Second Middlesex & Norfolk District to elect Edward B. McGrath to the State Senate on November 2nd.
