"Hero of the Taxpayer"

"Many promises are made prior to coming to Washington, especially that of lower taxes.  However, those promises are not always upheld.  Constituents deserve to know who has kept their pledge and worked for taxpayer's interests, and are not beholden to special interests.  Americans for Tax Reform applauds Representative Don Manzullo's commitment to taxpayers nationwide."

"Friend of the Shareholder"
