CPAC Statement on North Carolina Budget Negotiation CPAC Statement on North Carolina Budget Negotiation Today the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC) sent the following statement to the North Carolina Legislature urging a clean tax cut: As the impact of “Bidenomics” continues to harm individuals, working families, and small business, a proposal is being floated in North Carolina to reduce the state income tax and instead raise revenue through cannabis legalization and gambling expansion. We urge legislators in Raleigh to slow the process down to allow for greater transparency and input from North Carolinians. To be clear, CPAC strongly supports reducing tax burdens on working Americans and small businesses . Broad-based tax cuts would be welcomed to offset the pain caused by President Biden’s economic policies, the cost of which is estimated to be $433 a month on average for every family. However, linking tax cuts to either drug legalization or gambling expansion requires careful scrutiny . Policymakers must ensure that the collateral impacts of either policy are outweighed by the economic benefits of a tax cut. Fundamentally, however, we refuse to buy into the Left’s argument that cutting state income taxes requires revenue increases elsewhere. Such an approach assumes a static economic model, when even high school economics students understand revenues from organic growth can replace those lost to tax cuts. Even if economic growth does not fully “pay for” tax cuts, policymakers should first look to shrinking government to balance the books. Whether it is expanding gambling or legalizing drugs, the North Carolina legislature owes it to the voters to fully understand the consequences of such policies for families and businesses. Decisions on complex issues like drug legalization and gambling should be removed from the discussion of tax relief. They should be made in the light of day, with both an informed citizenry and experts at the table. With only a short time left in the legislative session, CPAC urges you to pass a clean tax cut without special-interest legislative riders masquerading as revenue drivers. In the event a budget is rushed through the legislature that includes drug legalization or gambling expansion, we would recommend to our colleagues at the CPAC Foundation’s Center for Legislative Accountability (Ratings) that they score a ‘yes’ vote negatively.

CPAC Issues Pledge to Prospective Republican Leadership Regarding Woke Companies CPAC Issues Pledge to Prospective Republican Leadership Regarding Woke Companies Alexandria, VA — CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp sent the following letter issuing a pledge to prospective Republican leadership regarding woke companies. Dear Congressman, As Republicans prepare for a new dawn in Congress, CPAC has been courted for our endorsement in various leadership races and for chairmanships. The first step to earn our support is a new shared strategy to reprimand corporations that have gone woke. Specifically, these companies have colluded with the Biden Administration to silence conservative voices; promoted lies about Voter ID and chose not to support conservatives who stand for fair elections; Are paying for the travel costs for employee abortions (including late-term) subsidized by their customers, a majority of which stand for life; Are promoting radical gender theory and gender modification onto our children; And supported the anti-police BLM movement that wreaked havoc on streets and in neighborhoods across the county and has contributed to a spike in violent crime. Pledge that you will not meet with these CEOs or their leadership teams, especially their Government Affairs staff, who have been hostile to policies that help all Americans, until they change their ways. To stop them from doing so requires leadership. Woke CEOs turned their backs on conservative leaders after the last election. For the first time in almost 30 years, Republicans will achieve a majority largely without the support of Fortune 100 companies. Instead, conservatives will take control led by activists and entrepreneurs who are exhausted and offended by the radical left policies pushed by these publicly traded companies. With new, conservative majorities, these same corporate woke elitist will be back on Capitol Hill, trying to cozy back up to conservatives. CPAC calls on you to take a stand and not allow this to happen without a renunciation of woke policies and racist attacks on the GOP. This is the Republican Party’s moment to declare independence from corporate special interest money that flows from left leaning large publicly traded companies who in the end don’t believe that America is a special place and work to undermine those institutions and society that uphold Western civilization. Sincerely, Matt Schlapp Chairman, CPAC ### Take Action Tell your member of Congress to join conservatives in reprimanding corporations that have gone woke. Sign our petition here .
