Do you want to know how Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) voted on a move to repeal the federal minimum wage?

Are you interested in Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) vote on a measure to rein in the soaring cost of prescription drugs for seniors and working families?

How about finding out where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) stood on a bill that would restore the freedom of airport screeners to join a union?

Or maybe you just want to know if your U.S. House member voted with working families last year?

All that information and more about your U.S. senators and representatives is just a click or two away in the AFL-CIO’s final 2007 House and Senate Voting Records. The congressional scorecards track 19 Senate votes and 24 House votes from the first session of the 110th Congress.

All votes were selected because of their importance to working families. “W” indicates a “wrong” vote that would hurt working families; “R” indicates a “right” vote.

Snip: You can look up an individual lawmaker’s record or checkout an entire state’s congressional delegation. You also can download the entire 2007 (plus congressional scorecards back to 1996) Voting Record here: http://www.aflcio.org/issues/legislativealert/votes/vr_all.cfm
