Answer at least 4 to get a letter.
How your letter is made: each question stands for one of my 8 principles, a yes or a no on it is 100 or 0, and your score is the average weighted by what is at stake on each principle, the same formula and the same scale as a member of Congress. A member's grade comes from every vote I count on a principle, 232 in all, so theirs is the fuller record. How the score works
