Americans for Prosperity toasts Billy Long


Billy Long's Congressional campaign is touting a news release from Americans for Prosperity praising him for signing the group's No Climate Tax Pledge:
The Missouri chapter of the free market grassroots group Americans for Prosperity (AFP-MO) today applauded U.S. House candidate Billy Long (7th District) for signing the group’s “No Climate Tax Pledge.” Long joins more than 500 lawmakers and candidates on the federal, state and local levels pledging to “oppose legislation relating to climate change that includes a net increase in government revenue.” 
“The one thing elected officials should be able to agree on is that global warming shouldn’t be used as an excuse to hike taxes on citizens and businesses,” said AFP-MO State Director Carl Bearden.  “We encourage all of Missouri’s elected officials and candidates for elected office to sign the pledge.”
Missouri signers include: Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder; U.S. Representative and Senate candidate Roy Blunt; U.S. House candidates Vicky Hartzler and Bill Stouffer; as well as forty state representatives and five state senators.
