Review the congressional ratings provided by Americans for Democratic Action
(a liberal interest group) and the American Conservative Union (a conservative interest
group). These groups cannot analyze every vote cast in every Congress, so they choose
particular votes that they feel best to represent their ideology. Compare and contrast the
broad categories of votes each of these groups have analyzed in the two most recent
years of available data. Additionally, analyze the voting record of your United States.
Representative and one of your United States Senators using these interest group
ratings. Be sure to provide the names of each of your representatives and discuss what
can be learned about the voting records of these individuals based on these ratings. As
Christian voters, how can we use these congressional rating sites as a tool for a better
understanding of incumbent candidates? Americans for Democratic Action scores are
available here. The American Conservative Union scores are available here
