Rep. Allyson Schwartz earns 'F' grade on economic freedom

When it comes to economic freedom, two Pennsylvania members of Congress earned "F" grades in the latest report card issued by Americans for Prosperity-Pennsylvania.

Reps. Chaka Fattah and Allyson Schwartz, both Philadelphia-area Democratic members of Congress, received failing grades from the group.

Both are career politicians in predominantly Democratic districts. Both have supported Barack Obama's failed economic policies over the past four years and both cast yes votes for Obamacare.

Schwartz is planning to run for Pennsylvania governor in 2014 despite being pro-abotion and  anti-Second Amendment ... and having voted for every tax increase proposed by the Obama administration.

AFP has also launched an interactive online version of its congressional key vote scorecard, which includes AFP key votes from the past three congresses and will be the scorecard’s online home moving forward.  AFP ranks members of Congress on their votes for economic freedom. 

AFP’s new scorecard website is online at: http://www.americansforprosperity.org/scorecard.
