FreedomWorks is sending all major U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate candidates copies of the 2006 Freedom Survey and asking them to complete it. You can help, by faxing, calling, and emailing campaigns in your area and asking them to sign the pledge. You can check back here to see the results-- we'll post them all online as they come in.

The Freedom Survey is a key tool for our members, voters, and media for the critical mid-term primaries and elections in 2006. The goal of this voter education effort is to provide clear, useful information about where the candidates stand on key federal issues. When candidates return completed surveys, FreedomWorks will post the results at www.freedomworks.org, and communicate them with allies and the media, as well as FreedomWorks’ activist base of more than 800,000 volunteers nationwide.

The eleven question survey highlights FreedomWorks’ top legislative priorities:

1. Social Security reform to include Personal Retirement Accounts;

2. Making the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts permanent;

3. Tax Reform to make the tax code fairer, flatter, and simpler;

4. Elimination of out-dated telecom laws;

5. Tort Reform to end lawsuit abuse;

6. The Fifth Amendment in the wake of the Kelo decision; and

7. D.C. School Choice to expand parental control over their children’s education.

FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey told activists recently, “This candidate survey is about the big ideas for fixing America’s most pressing policy challenges. We need to know who is committed to limited government principles to solve our problems, and who is for politics as usual to preserve the status quo. The Freedom Survey forces a moment of truth for candidates and is the best way to hold them accountable to campaign pledges.”

Candidates know that their survey responses carry the weight of 800,000 FreedomWorks activists and supporters across the nation. FreedomWorks members will use the survey results in a multi-million dollar Get Out the Vote (GOTV) campaign focusing in targeted 2006 Congressional elections still to be determined. The goal of this campaign will be to educate voters through rallies, literature drops, phone tree call-downs, and door to door activities. With the force of FreedomWorks’ grassroots base, the Freedom Survey will raise the profile of the 2006 Freedom Agenda during the upcoming election season, and will result in more support for tax cuts, Social Security and tort reform, as well as other critical issues in the 110th Congress.
