FreedomWorks, a national grassroots community of over 4 millions activists, today recognized Kansas First District Congressman, Tim Huelskamp, with the second annual “FreedomFighter Award,” an award given for members of Congress who consistently vote in defense of economic freedom.  FreedomWorks members believe in individual liberty and constitutionally-limited government.

Congressman Huelskamp released this statement regarding the award:

“I am honored to receive the ‘FreedomFighter Award.’ Kansans sent me to Washington to defend their economic freedom from Washington politicians and bureaucrats.  Individuals, businesses and families deserve more freedom, not bigger government.  I will continue to work to protect hard-working taxpayers – and fight for fiscal responsibility in our nation’s Capitol.”

The FreedomWorks Congressional Scorecard is a ground-breaking piece of technology that has drawn an abundance of national media attention.  The user-friendly technology allows activists the ability to track the votes of Members of Congress in ‘real time’ on key issues of economic freedom. Users have the option to search for their lawmakers’ scores by zip code, or to browse each year’s scores by name, state, political party, or score rankings.
