Contrary to how some of its members go about their jobs, the United States Congress is not a game. But that doesn't mean we can't keep score.
Even for those of us whose job it is to have daily involvement in the minutiae of America's legislative body, it's hard to keep up. That's why, years ago, FRC Action created its Congressional scorecard. For the issues related to faith, family, and freedom, our scorecard is a good indicator for how well your member of Congress is doing on the things that matter to you.
For the newest edition, which covers the First Session of the 115th Congress, we have a record high score. For votes cast last year, 245 members of Congress scored a perfect 100 percent! Next month, FRC Action will honor these 245 Members with its "True Blue" award for displaying unwavering commitment and consistent support of faith, family, and freedom.
We're encouraged that a record number of members of Congress have achieved a perfect pro-life, pro-family voting record in the year following President Trump's inauguration. The positive and productive focus on values issues in this Congress is a result of both the 2016 election and the Trump administration's emphasis on the planks of the GOP's conservative platform. And now we see Congress following the will of the American people when it comes to pro-life and pro-family issues.
These "True Blue-ers" have voted to repeal and replace Obamacare, deliver long-needed tax cuts that are already providing much needed relief to working families, stand for religious liberty, overturn Obama's transgender military policy, end the forced partnership between taxpayers and Planned Parenthood, and protect pain-capable babies. What did your member of Congress score? Check out FRC Action's new scorecard today to see for yourself, and then let them know that you're keeping an eye on them to do the right thing.
