Cole Receives ACU Conservatives Award

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Rep. Tom Cole (OK-04) was honored Thursday as one of the most conservative members of Congress by the American Conservative Union (ACU).
ACU held ceremonies on Capitol Hill to present awards to those members of the United States House and Senate who earned high ratings on ACU's annual Ratings of Congress for the 111th Congress, First Session.

"Conservative principles of low taxes, small government and fiscal discipline are the only way to restore America to prosperity," Cole said. "I appreciate the American Conservative Union for recognizing the importance of commonsense Oklahoma values to getting the nation back on track."

“This award is a reflection of Representative Tom Cole’s consistent support of conservative principles on a wide range of issues of concern to grassroots conservatives in 2009," commented ACU Chairman David A. Keene. "At a challenging time when the fundamental principles on which the American system of government are being challenged, Representative Tom Cole stands with those who are trying to preserve those principles.”
