AFP Energy BusAFP Energy BusTired of limousine liberals using your tax money for their ‘green’ energy projects that never work?

If you agree with us that energy prices do not have to be so high, if we would only:

•Explore domestic energy production
•Build pipelines to transport oil from Montana and Canada rather than the volatile Middle East
•Stop energy tax hikes, with similar intent as cap-and-trade, that benefit companies like Solyndra
•Expand refinement capacity here in America

Join Americans for Prosperity and American Energy Alliance for our Energy for America Tour as we make stops in Virginia.

Sen. Roscoe Reynolds (20th District) has served in the Virginia General Assembly – either in the House of Delegates or the Senate – since Ronald Reagan was president. In that time, Sen. Reynolds has embraced fiscal policies harmful to Virginia families, employers and taxpayers in general.

In addition to supporting the largest tax increase in Virginia history in 2004, Reynolds advocated or voted for a variety of anti-taxpayer and job-killing policies, including:

  • Raising income taxes on senior citizens
  • Raising the tax on gasoline
  • Raising sales taxes paid by employers
  • Raising the statewide sales tax and allowing localities to do the same
  • Raising vehicle registration fees
  • Implementing an Internet sales tax
  • Diverting sales tax revenue to fund a baseball stadium in Richmond
    *Opposing elimination of the death tax

Sen. Reynolds took all of these positions despite having signed the taxpayer protection pledge sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform.

Over the past 28 years, Sen. Edd Houck (17th District) has supported a number of tax increases that have hurt Virginia’s working families. In addition to supporting the largest tax increase in Virginia history in 2004, Houck advocated or voted for a variety of anti-taxpayer policies, including:

  • Gasoline Tax Increase
  • Higher Sales Taxes Paid by Businesses
  • Internet Sales Tax
  • State and Local Sales Tax Increase
  • Dedication of Sales Tax Revenue for a Richmond Baseball Stadium
  • Titling Tax for Vehicles

Sen. Houck has also been an opponent of Virginia’s efforts to achieve energy independence and explore for our own natural resources at home:

  • Houck voted against even studying lifting the ban on mining uranium in Virginia, despite the presence of what is believed to be the largest deposit in the nation in Southside Virginia. The extraction of the uranium would bring jobs and commerce to Virginia and supply fuel for electricity generation.
