	ATR: Staff: Biography of Grover Norquist
		Norquist, a native of Massachusetts, has been one of Washington’s most effective issues management strategists for over two decades.
		Norquist is president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR), a coalition of taxpayer groups, individuals and businesses opposed to higher taxes at both the federal, state and local levels.
		In the words of former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist is “the person who I regard as the most innovative, creative, courageous and entrepreneurial leader of the anti-tax efforts and of conservative grassroots activism in America.

	NOW with Bill Moyers. Transcript. Bill Moyers Interviews Grover Norquist. 1.10.03 \| PBS
		GROVER NORQUIST: No, I would argue if you look at those states that have conservative governments, and there are only a few: Colorado, Florida --you're looking at states that are in fairly good shape.
		GROVER NORQUIST: I think you have to look at the total level of what government does to her in terms of the taxes that they impose on...
		GROVER NORQUIST: Well, I've been active with groups, the Institute for Children and some of the pro-adoption groups in Washington, D.C. The last numbers I saw, there are about 500,000 kids in foster care, about 50,000 kids free to adopt, and more than a million parents looking to adopt.

	CampusProgress.org \| Know Your Right-Wing Speakers: Grover Norquist
		When not in the field, Norquist “sometimes came to work dressed in battle fatigues and carrying a briefcase with a bumper sticker proclaiming, ‘I’d rather be killing commies.’” Near the end of the conflict, between 1996 and 1997, Norquist received $45,000 from UNITA.
		Norquist is currently on the board of directors of the American Conservative Union, “the nation’s oldest and largest conservative lobbying organization,” as well as serving on the National Rifle Association’s board (which doesn’t need much of an introduction).
		Grover said, ‘Is she good on guns?’ He was being totally serious.” While this one-track mind probably hasn’t done much for Norquist’s social life (even his recent wedding featured a blessing by the shady right-wing Rabbi Daniel Lapin), his 24/7 devotion translates into a lot of power and influence in Washington.

	Grover G. Norquist
		Grover Norquist is one of the most connected members of the new right wing movement.
		Norquist was on the campaign staff on the 1988, 1992, and 1996 Republican Platform Committees, and formerly was Executive Director of the College Republicans.
		Norquist is also quite adept at dropping in at various localities across the country and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to aid his political allies, this despite his organization being a 501(c)(3) charity.

	Grover Norquist - SourceWatch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Grover Glenn Norquist (born Oct. 19, 1956) is a well-connected Republican activist with close ties to business and the media.
		Norquist is famous for his widely quoted comment that he wants to shrink government "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." Norquist largely rejects relativism and is comfortable assigning the labels of "good" and "bad".
		Norquist described three key planks of his agenda for Bush's second term as President as being aimed at crippling the financial base of the Democratic Party.

	TPMmuckraker \| Talking Points Memo \| Grover Norquist
		Norquist -- who feels his integrity was impugned by details of money-laundering schemes outlined in Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) recent report on Jack Abramoff -- has opined that McCain is "delusional" and a liar.
		Norquist said in The Post interview that the Choctaw tribe originally wanted ATR to direct the anti-lottery campaign, but his organization decided that it would be better to assist Christian groups already fighting the lottery.
		Norquist is probably not too accustomed, after all, to being the recipient of a multimillion dollar donation from Democrats.

	Terry Gross, Grover Norquist and the Holocaust
		Grover Norquist: No, the morality that says it's OK to do something to do a group because they're a small percentage of the population is the morality that says that the Holocaust is OK because they didn't target everybody, just a small percentage.
		Grover Norquist: Well, what you pick -- you can use different rhetoric or different points for different purposes, and I would argue that those who say, 'Don't let this bother you; I'm only doing it' -- I, the government.
		First of all, Grover, the morality underpinning the estate tax is the not same as the "morality" underpinning the holocaust.

	Grover Norquist, GOP prophet of permanence. - By Chris Suellentrop - Slate Magazine
		Four years earlier in the American Spectator, Norquist put forth a similar analysis: Declining union membership, a shrinking government work force, the dying of the Great Depression generation, the shrinking of America's urban population, and the rise of a large new investor class all bode well for the Republican majority.
		This reverence for the state's nearly limitless power explains both Norquist's desire to dismantle the state as well as his insistence on using it for propagandistic ends, such as his Soviet-esque obsession with building monuments to the Great Leader (Ronald Reagan—including a campaign to replace Alexander Hamilton with Reagan on the $10 bill).
		Grover has been successful because he gave/gives conservatives a forum in which to debate and discuss the issues of concern forcing them to define and refine their positions so that others can understand them.

	Grover Norquist's $650k Grant to the "National Alliance" \| TPMCafe
		Grover Norquist's $650k Grant to the "National Alliance"
		According to its 2004 990 filed with the IRS, Grover Norquist's Americans For Tax Reform (ATR) made a $650k grant to the "National Alliance" at 10424 Woodbury Woods Court, Fairfax, VA. Total ATR grants in 2004 were $820k so the National Alliance one was a big deal.
		Grover Norquist is not known for throwing his own money around, that's for sure.

	American Politics Journal -- Grover Norquist: At It Again?
		Norquist is so dirty, so sleazy, that even pugnacious conservative pundit Tucker Carlson dumped a drink on his balding head in a DC bar one night.
		Norquist could engage in anti-tax campaigns, maintain his nonprofit status and stay out of jail for money laundering, but his Rasputin-like personality dictated his entry into the dark world of criminal conspiracy to directly advocate for individual candidates, not issues.
		Norquist, in his typical "simple way" invented a one-page statement for legislators promising they'd never to vote to increase marginal tax rates and never to eliminate tax loopholes without simultaneously supporting equivalent reductions in marginal tax rates.

	WorldNetDaily: Grover Norquist is no Reagan
		Norquist's tireless advocacy of tax reduction – a life's work begun at the behest of President Reagan –; has helped to lighten the fiscal burden on millions of Americans, limited the growth of government and contributed to the latest, promising economic recovery.
		Norquist's antipathy to the act most recently led him to appear as a featured speaker at an Oct. 19 conference organized by the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom (NCPPF) to rail against the PATRIOT Act and to organize a "movement" to undo it.
		Norquist's ties to the likes of al-Arian, Alamoudi and the SAFA Trust is not that they are Muslim.

	Grover Norquist
		Over the years, Norquist became increasingly conservative, and eventually decided that the most troubling problem facing America is the gargantuan size of its government.
		In Norquist's vision, America a couple of decades from now will be a place in which elderly people make up a disproportionate share of the poor, as they did before Social Security.
		In 1997 Norquist launched the Ronald Reagan Legacy Project, a group whose purpose is to convince the government to spend millions of taxpayer dollars (ironically) on things like a Ronald Reagan memorial monument in Washington, DC.

	Powerful GOP Activist Sees His Influence Slip Over Abramoff Dealings - washingtonpost.com
		Grover G. Norquist is fiercely defending his group after a congressional report alleged that it served as a "conduit" in Jack Abramoff's schemes.
		Abramoff, the once-powerful lobbyist at the center of a wide-ranging public corruption investigation, was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison on March 29, after pleading guilty to fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to bribe public officials in a deal that required him to provide evidence about members of Congress.
		But in the aftermath of reports that Norquist served as a cash conduit for disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, the irascible, combative activist is struggling to maintain his stature as some GOP lawmakers distance themselves and as enemies in the conservative movement seek to diminish his position.

	Grover Norquist: 'Field Marshal' of the Bush Plan
		And, as he has for nearly eight years, Norquist is coordinating the agenda for his signature event, the regular "Wednesday meeting" that draws more than a hundred representatives of conservative groups to a standing-room-only conference room at his organization's L Street offices.
		Norquist gained notoriety as former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich's right hand in the mid-1990s--helping to design the 1994 Contract With America and rallying the right's grassroots to go to the polls that year, a drive he chronicled in his book Rock the House.
		To Norquist, who loves being called a revolutionary, hardly an agency of government is not worth abolishing, from the Internal Revenue Service and the Food and Drug Administration to the Education Department and the National Endowment for the Arts.

	Sirotablog: Grover Norquist, Turncoats & the Embrace of Movement Politics
		The New Yorker has a new piece on conservative activist Grover Norquist, and how he realized the one of the keys to helping Republicans effectively fight Democrats was to pressure GOP moderates and thus unify the right.
		As New Yorker reporter John Cassidy notes, today Norquist "criticize[s] moderate Republicans, such as John McCain and Lindsay Graham, because they think the moderates are holding back the conservative agenda." In the states, Norquist is "attacking Republican governors and legislators who raise taxes.
		Norquist proves that such an infrastructure - not permissive capitulation as the Democratic Party allows now - is integral to helping parties achieve majority status.

	Power Line: The lies of Grover Norquist
		Norquist further stated that the institute was founded by Khaled Saffuri, as though that answered Hugh's question regarding Alamoudi's role in funding the institute.
		Norquist's themes are those of the Islamist apologist organizations like CAIR and the American Muslim Council: informed critics of Islamofascism and advocates of American interests like Daniel Pipes and Frank Gaffney are portrayed as bigots, and key law enforcement tools against domestic terrorism are alleged to be nefarious infringments of civil rights.
		In defending himself from Gaffney's chages, Grover Norquist is an advocate with a fool for a client.

	Jack Abramoff
		Though the charges against Abramoff are many and complicated, he is primarily accused of collecting millions of dollars in inflated lobbying and legal fees from clients and using that money to influence Congressmen and other legislators through gifts and political donations.
		Abramoff attended Brandeis University (where he was an active supporter of Ronald Reagan's 1980 presidential campaign) and later joined fellow activists Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed in running the College Republican National Committee.
		After earning a law degree from Georgetown University, Abramoff became a lobbyist and lawyer in Washington, D.C. In the 1990s Abramoff gained influence with future Senate majority leader Tom DeLay and other rising lawmakers.
