Some U.S. Senators and U.S. House Members are waging a great battle against excessive federal spending.Winning this battle is crucial to the American way of life; losing this battle holds peril for our future. Let’s get behind these courageous men. By doing so we help ourselves and the nation.The Club For Growth, as the name implies, promotes prosperity and opportunity through economic freedom. The Club recently presented its scorecard.In the House, Jeff Flake (R) Arizona fought never ending battles for the taxpayers in the year 2006.Thirty-nine times he tried to shoot down earmarks, on the House Floor and 39 times he was voted down, but all year he shed light on pork/earmarks.His actions and those of Senators Tom Coburn (R) Oklahoma and Jim DeMint (R) South Carolina have led to earmarks being far more transparent than they were until very recently. Even though some congressmen are still being reckless, a new era seems to have arrived.The Club For Growth looked at 24 pieces of legislation and how they impacted pro-growth policies. Major legislation included: making the Bush tax cuts permanent, repealing the Death Tax, cutting government spending, social security reforms and five other general areas.The highest possible score was 100% if every vote cast, supported the Club’s pro-growth agenda.Though Jeff Flake had the most scars, from his battles on the House floor, two other taxpayer warriors in the House, scored 100%.The top 10 vote getters in the House were all Republicans.The U.S. Senate has its own scorecard.
