Since 1984, FreedomWorks has been fighting for the
principles of lower taxes, less government and more freedom. FreedomWorks believes
that battles for freedom cannot be won only in think tank conference
centers or on the pages of a policy paper. Citizens themselves must be
active and educated participants in preserving our freedoms and liberties.
Our mission is to provide our hundreds of thousands of volunteer citizens activists,
who are dedicated to the vision our Founding Fathers had for America,
with the education and organization needed to make their voices louder
then their vote.
In an effort
to educate our members, every Congressional session FreedomWorks charts Congressional
Members' commitment to the principles of limited government through their votes. Members of Congress cast literally
hundreds of votes over this two year period and throughout these FreedomWorks determines
the priority votes that differentiate the true believers of liberty from
those that would work to increase government.
These votes are collated at the end of the congressional session and those
members that have scored over an 80 percent with FreedomWorks recieve the coveted Jefferson
Award.
