2007 Middle-Class Grades: Congressional Report Cards are out
Not that the results are surprising:

Feingold: A+
Kohl: A

Baldwin, Tammy: A+
Kagen, Steve: A+
Kind, Ronald: A
Moore, Gwen: A+
Obey, David: A+
Petri, Thomas: C
Ryan, Paul:F
Sensenbrenner, James: F


The grades "encompasses legislation that would have a significant impact on the squeezed middle class or the aspirations of low-income Americans who want to work their way into the middle class. 2007 grades are based on ten votes in the House and ten votes in the Senate that illustrate legislators’ overall commitment to the current and aspiring middle class."

The 2008 scores to date are also posted.
