Decide The Future
Project History and Cosponsors
This scorecard is a joint project of Restore The Fourth and Fight for the Future.
The scorecard is objective, rather than qualitative. That is, scores are based on actual votes and legislative actions such as co-sponsorships, rather than the quality or trustworthiness of legislators' public actions or statements on mass surveillance. This creates two kinds of error. One, that a legislator may strategically work behind the scenes in one direction, and then vote in public on the other; two, that a legislator may show up forvotes, but not take interest in moving the cause forward in between rare voting opportunities. Both kinds of legislator exist in our database, but no more objective method exists.
Version 3.0 relaunched January 21, 2019
There is an option on the site to enter a message and tweet any/all members of the house.
The default message is: "please vote to #SunsetThePatriotAct—it's time to rein in the surveillance state." but you can enter anything that you want.
Please check it out and put it to use.
