Now in its 12th year, U.S. PIRG's annual Congressional Scorecard is an important tool consumers can use to gauge Congressional votes on the environment, consumer protection. U.S. PIRG and state PIRG staff are distributing this year’s Scorecard to more than one million households across the country by going door-todoor in cities and towns.

The state Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGs) are nonprofit, nonpartisan public interest advocacy organizations. U.S. PIRG is the national advocacy office for state PIRGs across the country. The 2006 Scorecard looks at the most important public interest votes taken between February 9, 2005 and February 1, 2006 in the U.S. Congress. These votes determined the direction of federal policy on critical issues ranging from environmental preservation to health care to consumer protections.

PIRG Congressional Scorecards are available on the organization's web site back to 1996. To access the archives: Click here.
