Launch of the "International Religious Freedom Congressional Scorecard" and How it Can Help America"...the scorecard will inform Americans and help strengthen their voices to support the cause of religious freedom in the House and Senate." (Washington, DC)—International religious freedom champion and former Congressman Frank R. Wolf and the 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative (21CWI) are announcing a new International Religious Freedom Congressional Scorecard. This educational tool will both keep Congress apprised of opportunities to support religious freedom, and keep Members accountable by grading them on their international religious freedom (IRF) work. Scored items will include membership in relevant caucuses as well as votes, sponsorship, and co-sponsorship of bills and resolutions supporting IRF.
During a news conference at the National Press Club here yesterday, a panel of IRF leaders described the need for the Scorecard. The panel included Os Guinness, British author, social critic and founder of The Trinity Forum; Farahnaz Ispahani, journalist, scholar and former member of Pakistan's National Assembly; and Nina Shea, Director, Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute in Washington.
