The National Tax Limitation Committee (NTLC) has honored Congressman Cliff Stearns with its 112th Congress “Tax Fighter Award.” NTLC President Lewis K. Uhler presented the award to Congressman Stearns in Washington, saying “Congressman Stearns’ votes on tax and spending issues in the 112th Congress earned him an ‘A’ grade and the Tax Fighter Award.”

“Congressman Stearns has led the battle on behalf of taxpayers to stop the passage of Obamacare and cap-and-trade legislation, to make the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent, to eliminate the death tax, to kill the Alternative Minimum Tax, to provide incentives for private savings, investment and job creation and to control the growth of federal spending.”

“Congressman Stearns has become a major asset to taxpayers across America during his congressional service, having earned the Tax Fighter Award consistently in every session of Congress. He has had the courage to challenge the orthodoxy of Washington taxing and spending,” concluded Uhler.
