New live scorecard for Congress now online

Jessica Anderson, Deputy Political Director of Heritage Action, announces the creation of a live scorecard for Congress:

I am excited to share that the scores for the 113th Congress are LIVE at http://heritageactionscorecard.com/

[Y]ou will notice that many Members are coming in higher than you may think. This is because of two reasons: 1) It's early and a lot of tough votes are coming up, for example on the farm bill, immigration, and spending bills. 2) Members are taking note of Heritage Action....

We would encourage everyone to create a new Watch List today so that you can check back each week as Members rise and fall. Scores will change rapidly the next few months as Congress considers important policy through the summer and fall.
