Paul was one of a handful of GOP lawmakers not to win the Chamber’s “Spirit of Enterprise Award.” He scored only a 67%, bucking the Chamber on five votes, including:
* Paul opposed the “Solar Technology Roadmap Act,” which boosted subsidies for unprofitable solar energy technology.
* Paul opposed the “Travel Promotion Act,” which subsidizes the tourism industry with a new fee on international visitors.
* Paul opposed the largest spending bill in history, Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill.
