The ACU tracks a wide range of issues before Congress to determine
which issues and votes serve as a dividing line to help separate those
members of the U.S. House and Senate who protect liberty as
conservatives and those who are truly liberal. Since 1971, the
Congressional ratings have become the gold standard in holding every
member of Congress accountable for their voting record by scoring some
of the most important issues facing our nation. ACU is dedicated to
supporting the efforts of courageous conservative leaders fighting for
limited government, promoting prosperity and individual freedom, and
defending traditional values.
