Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    Progressive Democrat Issue 94: VIRGINIA VOTING RECORD

    Here is the voting records of Virginia Congress critters.

    Below I have ratings on Defense (A through F, from IAVA), Seniors issues (lifetime rating on a scale of 0-100 from Alliance for Retired Americans), environment (most recent ratings on a scale of 0-100, League of Conservation Voters, an organization), Labor issues (lifetime score from 0-100, AFL-CIO) and reproductive rights (lifetime score from 0-100, Planned Parenthood). This is a mix of so-called "right" and "left" issues, and in almost every case Republicans rank below Democrats. Feel free to distribute this info and use it on election day.



    Republicans:

    George Allen:Defense: D+; Seniors: 8; Environment: 0; Labor: 13; Choice: 0
    John Warner: Defense: D+; Seniors: 8; Environment: 14; Labor: 16; Choice: 21

    Jo Ann S. Davis: Defense: B-; Seniors: 4; Environment: 42; Labor: 27; Choice: 0
    Thelma D. Drake: Defense: D-; Seniors: 2; Environment: 17; Labor: 20; Choice: 0
    Randy Forbes: Defense: C+; Seniors: 2; Environment: 8; Labor: 13; Choice: 0
