"Signing AFP's "No Climate Tax Pledge" is consistent with what I have been fighting for this entire campaign – economic freedom, limited government, and individual liberty. Americans should be outraged that liberals are once again using an excuse to tax businesses and families and transfer both revenue and power to government. Any “climate tax” is part of this extreme agenda and must be vigorously opposed -- and that's why I am proud to have signed the No Climate Tax Pledge,” said Lightner.
