Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Jean Schmidt was today awarded the Defenders of Liberty Award for 2009 from the American Conservative Union. The Award is given to Members of Congress who scored a perfect 100 percent on issues of concern to grassroots conservatives.
“I am very pleased to accept this award from the American Conservative Union and the hundreds of thousands of grassroots conservatives the organization stands for each day. I am proud to be recognized for my principled stands against the largest expansion of government in our lifetime,” Schmidt stated.
Schmidt is one of fewer than three dozen members of the House with a 100 percent rating from the American Conservative Union.
“I strongly believe that our nation’s policies are headed in completely the wrong direction. I will continue to oppose legislation that will cost American’s their jobs, their prosperity, and most of all their liberty,” Schmidt concluded.
Schmidt will be presented the Defender of Liberty Award at a reception next month.
