Paul Broun Scores High on Liberty Index

The State of World Liberty Index is a ranking of countries according to the degree of economic and personal freedoms that their citizens enjoy; each country is given a score between 0 and 100. It is compilation of several similar indices created by other organizations. The index's author Nick Wilson, was an activist in the U.S. Libertarian Party. The Index's web site defines freedom as "the ability for the individual to live their lives as they choose, as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others to do the same.

The index also includes how members of the U.S. Congress voted to protect and enhance U.S. economic security.
