RELEASE: Absent substantive changes &steps toward reg order, Rigell won’t support upcoming CR.

“The legislative language, shown below, stipulates that the House of Representatives is prohibited from adjourning or entering “pro forma” session for more than five days (with exceptions made for national holidays and weekends) unless and until it has passed a budget and all twelve appropriations bills.”

I’d guess since his vote wasn’t needed he just voted against it because it was a continuing resolution.

On to the Senate. Write, call, sing every petition, call the local offices, write to the local paper, do whatever you can think of.

We have to help Cruz and Lee inject a spine into the cowardly GOP, and the Dems who will next year be standing for re-election.

Call your representatives today to defund Obamacare. Today is the day.

Even if you are in a Dem district.

with Rep. Scott Rigel (Va.) the only GOP no vote.
***By Nancy Pelosi’s standards, that’s a bipartisan vote.
