Aderholt Honored By The American Conservative Union

Press Release

Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) today was recognized by the American Conservative Union's (ACU) for his commitment to American's core principles and his steadfast commitment to our nation's constitution.

"It's a great honor to be named an ACU Conservative for my work in the 111th Congress," said Aderholt. "I'm proud to have supported strong conservative principles in the last Congress and to continue fighting for traditional American and Alabama values in Washington this Congress."

"The ACU Ratings Award is a reflection of Congressman Aderholt's consistent support of conservative principles on a wide range of issues of concern to grassroots conservatives in 2010," said ACU Chairman Al Cardenas. "At a challenging time when the fundamental principles of the American system of government are being challenged. Congressman Aderholt stands with those who are trying to preserve those principles."

The American Conservative Union presented the "ACU Conservative" award to Rep. Aderholt for the 111th Congress, 2nd Session, for receiving an ACU Rating of over 80 percent and his consistent conservative voting principles.

The American Conservative Union has rated every member of the House and Senate since 1971 and tracks a wide range of issues before Congress to determine which issues and votes serve as a dividing line to help separate those Members of the U.S. House and Senate who protect liberty as conservatives and those who are truly liberal. As a result, the ACU Ratings of Congress has throughout its 38 Editions included a wide variety of issues covering votes on taxes, wasteful government spending, cultural issues, defense and foreign policy.
