Fourth Freedom Index for the 111th Congress

The New American’s semi-annual congressional scorecard, entitled “The Freedom Index,” rates all members of Congress based on their adherence to constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, and a traditional foreign policy of avoiding foreign entanglements.

Since every Congressman takes an oath to uphold the Constitution, every Congressman should earn a perfect score on a congressional scorecard based on the U.S. Constitution. But that is far from the case, as both the “Freedom Index” and the unconstitutional actions of the federal government indicate.

All four installments of “The Freedom Index” are available below in PDF format. Each rates every member of the U.S. House and Senate based on 10 key votes.

If you live in northeast Wisconsin, for example, you might be interested to know that Congressman Steve Kagen has a 15% rating. In a spirit of fairness, I will say however, that I finally found something I like about the congressman. At the grand opening of the Platinum Flight Center in Appleton last week I noticed he’s a fan of New Balance shoes, just like I am. But I digress.
