Voting Record:
There is no simple link for finding a voting record. The only way to compile a voting record would be to dig through every single roll call of the House or Senate and then compile it manually. Even then, it would be practically impossible to do, because the roll-call numbers don’t match the bill numbers.
However, there’s an excellent site that has done much of the legal work for you, Project Vote Smart at www.vote-smart.org. It lets you research any Senator’s or Representative’s voting record on an issue by issue basis, and it covers just about every topic imaginable, from abortion to welfare policy.
Project Vote smart lets you research the voting records of federal and state officeholders, and includes advocacy group rating as well.
You name it, and you can find a voting record on it. (You’ll even find details on many states officeholders.) The site also shows how various interest groups rate your guy or gal in Washington.
