If you ever wanted to check on your senators' and representatives' records on how much or how little they represent the middle class, the good folks at themiddleclass.org have given us a very useful tool. They compiled a report card on all of them. Every senator and every representative now has a performance grade on his record from 2003 to 2007. There is also a percentage ranking of their support of legislation that was intended to benefit the middle class so far this year.
This is an excellent resource to evaluate your representation, or lack thereof, in Babylon on the Potomac. The legislative categories are limited to domestic issues, and apart from trade agreements, don't evaluate their foreign policy positions. We still need to do SOME homework.
So, have a go at it. It's enlightening and interesting. Be a responsible citizen and voter, and check your senators' and representatives' Report Card.

About Me
- Dave Dubya
- History will not judge us kindly if we as a nation fail to defend and promote democracy. I am an old-fashioned American citizen who believes in our traditional values of freedom, truth, and justice. When I see our laws and government subverted and twisted into service of the undemocratic, powerful, corporate oligarchy, I must react with a patriotic defense of our values. I strongly oppose the ongoing destruction of what is left of American democracy and shall give voice to our common cause of freedom. I invite you to share my thoughts. I also welcome your comments, be they contradictory, corrective, or complimentary. Only one comment and response will be allowed for anonymous trolls. Repeated, unidentified, and off-topic trolling will be deleted as spam.

Very good Dave! As far as i'm concerned they all get an F. It is a collective thing. Since Bush, a cluster fu@*
Nothing has been done for the needy, average American's, the middle class, and our America. They all deserve a collective F and the vast majority should pay with their job.
hey Dave just checking in!
Thanks for the link.
