They represent the percentage of time that the incumbent voted with that organization's preferred positions on a number of votes that they identified as key in their issue area. Remember, by definition, these ratings by special interest groups are biased. They do not represent a non-partisan stance. In addition, some groups select votes that tend to favor members of one political party over another, rather than selecting votes based solely on issue concerns. However, they can be invaluable in showing where an incumbent has stood on a series of votes over a year's time, especially when ratings by groups on all sides of an issue are compared. A final note: The clearest way to read these percentages is, "In [year], the XYZ organization gave Senator/Representative X an 80% rating. That means that on votes they identified as key in their issue area during that time period, he/she voted with the group's preferred position 80% of the time." The exception to this is the evaluation done by the National Taxpayers Union, which represents how often a representative or senator voted to decrease, or not increase, spending. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abortion 1991 100 Justlife Education Fund (Abortion) Abortion 1993 100 National Committee for a Human Life Amendment Abortion 1993 100 National Right to Life Committee Abortion 1994 0 National Abortion Reproductive Rights Action Leag Business 1993 80 U.S. Chamber of Commerce Business 1994 89 National Federation of Independent Business Business 1994 100 Business-Industry Political Action Committee Children 1993 9 Children's Defense Fund Chr.Fam.
