One sign of a good congressperson: the US Chamber of Commerce gives them a low rating

[Ardent15]

Dennis Kucinich has a lifetime rating of 22 percent from the US Chamber of Commerce.

Maxine Waters has a lifetime rating of 23 percent.

George Miller has a lifetime rating of 24 percent.

Barbara Lee has a lifetime rating of 25 percent.

Nancy Pelosi has a lifetime rating of 26 percent.

etc etc

Check the cumulative lifetime ratings and the ratings in the 2nd session of the 110th Congress

at <http://www.uschamber.com/issues/legislators/08htv_house.htm>

If your congressperson has less than, say, 33 percent rating from the COC, that's a good sign. It means that person is doing well to vote for the people and not business interests.

My congresswoman, Anna Eshoo, has a lifetime rating of 39 percent and a most recent rating of 61 percent from the COC. Not good enough.

8. They're the two best Senators IMO.

3. This is one of the most accurate ways to get real insight into

where your congressperson stands.

I have always said: When a vote is down to the crunch will a
Congressperson favor business even if it means kicking the
people to the side of the road.

The Chamber of Commerce is only interested in Business getting
their way so a high score by COC tells you everything you need
to know.

5. Mine is... 48?! Oh fudge.

He ran unopposed last time. I don't know what is going on in terms of local politics, but yeah this is a black mark, in a deeply blue district. I hope we can replace him.

13. George Miller was my Rep before redistricting

He is a wonderful Rep I still send him letters ..
He responds to me diligently , very receptive .

Rep currently .
