Dear President Donald J. Trump,
On behalf of the undersigned conservative, free market, and taxpayer advocacy organizations, we write to commend you on your pro-growth tax and deregulation agenda and encourage Congress to take immediate action to implement reforms that strengthen the economy. While the economy remains strong, key indicators suggest underlying weaknesses must be addressed.
Bold action to reduce burdens on businesses and workers will sustain economic momentum, instill confidence, and secure long-term prosperity. Your leadership in pursuing lower taxes, regulatory relief, and pro-business policies has already spurred growth.
A clear, long-term tax policy will eliminate uncertainty for businesses, encouraging investment and expansion here in the United States. Manufacturers and job creators thrive in an environment where they can plan with confidence, unencumbered by the threat of sudden tax increases or bureaucratic red tape. Similarly, cutting outdated and excessive regulations will unleash innovation and productivity, allowing American industries to remain competitive on the global stage. The combination of tax relief and regulatory reform has proven to be a catalyst for job creation and wage growth, benefiting workers and families across the country.
At the same time, we must express our concerns regarding the potential implementation of broad, across-the-board tariffs. While we recognize the need to address unfair trade practices in select nations, long-term tariffs act as a hidden tax on American businesses and consumers, raising costs and reducing competitiveness. Any trade actions should be narrowly tailored to target specific abuses while minimizing collateral damage to American industries. We encourage a measured approach that prioritizes fairness without undermining the economic gains achieved under your leadership.
Mr. President, your strong economic vision has set the stage for lasting prosperity. By pressing forward with tax relief, regulatory reform, and energy expansion—while ensuring a prudent approach to trade policy—you can reinforce America’s economic strength and secure a thriving future for generations to come.
We stand ready to support your administration in these efforts and urge swift action to maintain our nation’s economic momentum.
Sincerely,
