The American Conservative Union (ACU), the nation's largest and most powerful grassroots conservative organization, honored Congressman Don Manzullo (R-IL) with its ACU Conservative award for “standing on the side of liberty, prosperity and American greatness.”
Manzullo, who is annually recognized by the group, received a 96 percent rating from the ACU on votes he took in Congress in 2009. Manzullo maintains a 95.92 percent lifetime rating with the organization.
“This award is a reflection of Representative Don Manzullo’s consistent support of conservative principles on a wide range of issues of concern to grass roots conservatives in 2009,” said David A. Keene, Chairman of the American Conservative Union. “At a challenging time when the fundamental principles on which the American system of government are being challenged, Representative Don Manzullo stands with those who are trying to preserve those principles.”
Manzullo has also been honored for his conservative principles by the National Taxpayers Union and Citizens Against Government Waste. Since January of 2009, Manzullo has voted 220 times to reduce the size of the budget deficit by $1.065 trillion and he has voted 17 times against $1.7 trillion in new taxes.
