ATR is headed by [[Grover Norquist]], one of the most connected members of the new [[right-wing]] movement. He has close ties to the Republican Party, large U.S. business interests, and both the subsidized and regular U.S. media. Norquist helped the [[Heritage Foundation]] write the Republican's 1994 [[Contract With America]].
Shortly thereafter, Norquist led a right wing charge to "de-fund" the left, declaring that "We will hunt [these liberal groups] down one by one and extinguish their funding sources." Norquist has also worked as a [[lobbyist]] for clients including [[Microsoft]], [[American Business for Legal Immigration]], [[Distilled Spirits Council]], [[Edison Electric Institute]], [[Interactive Gaming Council]], and [[British Petroleum]].

Since 1986, under the Ronald Reagan administration, the Taxpayer Pledge has been utilized in GOP tax policies. [[Grover Norquist]] proposed the pledge to pressure other Republican politicians to support with President Reagan's tax agenda. Norquist says, "If you want a politician to make a commitment and want it to matter, it can't be four paragraphs long. I can't have moving parts, you can't remember what's in it." Once Reagan and congressional Republicans signed on to it, Reagan's tax-reform bill passed and the pledge has prospered ever since. <ref> Norquist's Tax Pledge: What It Is and How It Started, [http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/11/norquists-tax-pledge-what-it-is-and-how-it-started/] ABC News, November 26, 2012. </ref>

====Support the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA)====
"Approving CAFTA will reward the democracies in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic for rejecting the Communists, and will send the message to the region and the world that those who adopt free market policies will prosper, and those who adopt Leftist anti-American protectionist policies will fail."[http://capwiz.com/atr/issues/alert/?alertid=7840526&type=CO]
