WASHINGTON \u2013 Tyler Congressman. Louie Gohmert has been awarded with Freedom Works\u2019 second annual \u201cFreedom Fighter Award.\u201d According to a news release from Gohmert\u2019s office, the award is given to members of the House and Senate who consistently vote in defense of economic freedom. <\/p>\n
\u201cFreedom Works is a powerful voice in America for principles of liberty giving rise to innovation and opportunity. They emphasize the critical need for individual freedom and adherence to the constitutional limitations on our \u2018big brother\u2019 government in Washington. It is an honor to be awarded the \u2018Freedom Fighter Award\u2019 again this year since it represents a finding by a valued and well respected organization that analyzes the issues that I represent the core beliefs held by most east Texans. Voting with the mindset of hardworking American taxpayers is essential if we are going to leave our children and their children at least as good of a gift as our parents and grandparents left us,\u201d said Rep. Gohmert. <\/p>\n
Each \u201cFreedom Fighter\u201d recipient earned a minimum score of 90 percent on the Freedom Works Congressional Scorecard during the 2012 legislative session. According to a news release, that score exhibits a strong stance to defend liberty and strengthen the economy across the country. \u201cCongressman Louie Gohmert took a stand against the Washington special interest machine and proved himself a true defender of economic freedom with a 94 out of 100 percent on the Freedom Works Congressional Scorecard. Freedom Works encourages Congressman Gohmert to keep fighting the good fight to protect Texas taxpayers, and bring back fiscal sanity and accountability to the federal government,\u201d said Freedom Works President Matt Kibbe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
