November  30,  2017     Dear  Senators,     On  behalf  of  the  millions  of  activists  and  members  of  our  respective  organizations,  we   are  writing  to  register  our  opposition  to  the  Rubio-­‐Lee  Amendment.     As  you  know,  our  network  has  long  supported  meaningful,  pro-­‐growth  tax  reform  that   will  enhance  American  global  competitiveness  and  make  the  U.S.  a  more  attractive   place  for  investment  and  job  creation.  We  believe  reducing  America's  high  corporate   tax  rate  from  35  percent  to  20  percent  is  key  to  driving  the  economic  growth  that  will   lead  to  more  jobs,  higher  wages,  and  greater  prosperity  and  financial  security  for  all   American  families.     We  continue  to  strongly  support  the  unified  framework  and  the  20  percent  corporate   tax  rate  that  the  White  House  has  said  they  would  oppose  raising.  The  proposed  Rubio-­‐ Lee  amendment  would  deviate  from  that  framework  by  increasing  the  corporate  tax   rate  beyond  20  percent,  undermining  the  full  economic  benefits  that  families  would   otherwise  see.  We  believe  this  is  the  wrong  approach.       Business  tax  relief  is  central  to  the  goals  of  creating  jobs  and  promoting  economic   growth,  and  we  are  concerned  that  any  effort  to  hold  the  corporate  tax  rate  above  20   percent  will  substantially  limit  our  ability  to  achieve  those  goals  and  expand   opportunities  for  all  Americans.       Again,  we  urge  you  to  oppose  the  Rubio-­‐Lee  Amendment.         Sincerely,     Christine  Harbin   Vice  President  of  External  Affairs   Americans  for  Prosperity     Nathan  Nascimento   Executive  Vice  President   Freedom  Partners     Daniel  Garza   President   The  LIBRE  Initiative     Carrie  Sheffield
