I looked up my great-great-uncle's scores from Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) when he represented Ohio's 10th district. They're a liberal interest group so a lower score indicates a more conservative voting record.
1963 - 0% 1964 - 8%
He got 8% in 1964 because he voted in favor of the Civil Rights Act. (FF!)
What was his name and political party if I might ask?.

ACU (American Conservative Union): 4% NRA: B- ADA (Americans For Democratic Action): 91% Progressive Punch: 92% ACLU: 95% NARAL: 90% NRLC: 3% National Tax Payers Union: 51% Citizens for Tax Justice: 87% FAIR: 89% USBC: 17% ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration): 0% (Immigration is one of the issues I'm most liberal on)
FAIR holds the conservative position on immigration.

ACU (American Conservative Union) - 65% NRA - 95% ADA (Americans For Democratic Action) - 15% Progressive Punch - 0% ACLU - 70% NARAL - 65% NRLC - 20% National Tax Payers Union - 100% Citizens for Tax Justice - 5% FAIR - 70% USBC - 55% ALIPAC (Americans for Legal Immigration) - 90% My immigration policy is quite moderate and weird. If you want to ask what's up with those numbers, feel free. USBC - If it's the breastfeeding one, pretty low
US Border Control, so I'm guessing you'd get a low rating.

Alright - I'll just try to guess then by skimming over the contents of their websites:
15% - American Conservative Union B- - National Rifle Association 85% - Americans for Democratic Action 80% - Progressive Punch 95% - American Civil Liberties Union 90% - National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League 15% - National Right to Life Committee 30% - National Tax Payers Union 40% - Citizens for Tax Justice 15% - Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform 0% - United States Border Control 0% - Americans for Legal Immigration Political Action Committee
Aside from the ADA, Progressive Punch, ACLU, and NARAL these aren't really groups I would be flattered to get praise from. The scores would likely be more polarized if I were a social democrat or hardcore adherent to the American interpretation of social liberalism - especially with the CTJ score being higher than was proposed here.
Edit @TNF: The last three organizations are to varying extents concerned about inadequate border security, excessive immigration into the United States, and excessive generosity to illegals here under the status quo.
