Rep. Emerson's voting record. Is it true?

Rep. Jo Ann Emerson's 2011 voting record. One of the worst in the Republican house!

The facts below are found on Heritage Action Scorecard, part of the Heritage Foundation.

With each vote cast in Congress, freedom either advances or recedes. Heritage Action's new legislative scorecard allows Americans to see whether their Members of Congress are fighting for freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society. The scorecard is comprehensive, covering the full spectrum of conservatism, and includes legislative action on issues both large and small.

Heritage Action's legislative scorecard isn't graded on a curve -- it is tough and we don't apologize. After all, we are conservatives, not tenured university professors. [From Heritage Action scorecard] see: http://heritageactionscorecard.com/scorecard/index.html#h217-2011#vote
