The following chart reflects the 2006 and 2007 voting records of North Texas' Congressional delegation as analyzed by The Club for Growth and Citizens Against Government Waste:

Each of the four light blue bars above each candidate's name represents a rating for each based on that candidate's voting record.  Two ratings for each are from The Club for Growth and two are from Citizens Against Government Waste.  The dark bar above each candidate's name is the average (mean) of the four other numbers.

Jeb Hensarling comes in at the top of the class with an average rating approaching 100%.  Pete Sessions brings in a solid showing at 90%.  John Cornyn and Sam Johnson came in at over 80%.  The REST of the North Texas GOP delegation definitely has some 'splainin to do--particularly Ralph Hall and Kay Granger.  At the very bottom end of the curve, anyone familiar with Thomas "Chet" Edwards and Eddie Bernice Johnson will not be at all surprised to find out that these two are, once again, among the taxpayers' worst enemies.

Where has your Congressperson been on key votes?

Fortunately, most of our North Texas Congresspeople voted against Cap and Trade and the Spendulous Bill.   UNfortunately, several of our public servants wandered off the straight and narrow on TARP (a/k/a the "Wall Street Bailout") and on Maxine Waters' plan for giving home mortgages to people with crummy credit.  Any of you who get a chance to talk to Kay Granger or Pete  Sessions may want to offer some "constructive criticism" of their votes for the Wall Street Bailout and the "Morgages for Everybody" program.
