The Club for Growth, with its 35,000 members, plans to score a "YES" vote as a pro-economic growth vote in its annual rating of Congress on the alternative budget resolution submitted by the Republican Study Committee, and sponsored by Rep. Jeb Hensarling.

Passing this substitute amendment to the budget resolution (H. Con. Res. 376) would send a strong statement to the public that House Republicans have returned to their fiscally conservative ideals. The amendment would propose, among other things, a solid cut in discretionary spending that would balance the budget by 2011 and would eliminate over 150 wasteful programs. It would also seek $358 billion in reconciliation savings. For more information, please contact the RSC or go to their website.

Our Congressional Scorecard for the 109th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.

UPDATE: The House failed to pass the RSC budget (as expected) by a vote of 94-331.
