Who are the members of Citizens Club for Growth?

Citizens Club was founded in 1999 by Steve Moore, National Review president Dusty Rhodes, Cato Institute president Ed Crane, Richard Gilder, economist and CNBC Kudlow & Cramer co-host Larry Kudlow, and other like-minded pro-growth conservatives. Citizens Club for Growth exists to encourage, and make possible, the enactment of pro-growth economic policies by the Federal government. The primary tactic of Citizens Club for Growth PAC has been to provide financial support from Club members to viable pro-growth candidates to Congress, particularly in Republican primaries.

Members of the Club are economic conservatives, like-minded political contributors who are frustrated with the ideological drift of both parties. Club members have a shared belief that prosperity and opportunity come through economic freedom. Our members work to affect the national policy debate, elect more Reaganites to Congress, and are willing to stand for the issues that they as members care about most, issues like: cutting taxes, controlling federal spending, personal accounts for Social Security, ending the death tax, eliminating the capital gains tax, fundamental tax reform, providing true school choice and minimizing government's role in our daily lives.

Some of the people who are already Citizens Club for Growth members include:

Larry Kudlow, economist and CEO of Kudlow & Co. Larry is co-host of the primetime CNBC show "Kudlow & Company."

Milton Friedman, economist, winner of the 1976 Nobel Prize in Economics.
