The political positions and performance of members of Congress can be determined by examining each roll call vote a person casts - usually in the hundreds - during a career in office. This title simplifies this task for students, researchers and citizens by drawing on compilations done by organized interest groups of differing political persuasions. Editor J. Michael Sharp uses the voting scores of ten prominent groups across the political spectrum, from organized labour to conservative action groups. The scores these groups give to senators and representatives - reflecting the organizations' political agendas matched against actual roll call votes - are a handy thumbnail portrait of the political posture of members. To this picture the editor adds voting scores from three often-cited studies - conservative coalition, party unity, and presidential support - that add depth to understanding members' actions.
