We need to flood our congressmen's phones and tell them to get their asses back to Washington and join in this fight.
If I find out my congressman went home, I will e-mail him and call his office first thing Monday.
We need a quorum. We need it now.
Members participating in the spontaneous uprising included Reps. Roy Blunt, John Boehner, Kevin Brady, Paul Broun, Henry Brown, Michael Burgess, John Campbell, Eric Cantor, Shelly Moore Capito, John Carter, Tom Cole, Mike Conaway, John Culberson, Charlie Dent, Jeff Fortenberry, Virginia Foxx, Louie Gohmert, Pete Hoekstra, Duncan Hunter, Steve King, Dan Lungren, Don Manzullo, Thaddeus McCotter, Devin Nunes, Mike Pence, Tom Price, Ted Poe, Jon Porter, Adam Putnam, Mike Rogers (MI), Bill Sali, John Shadegg, John Shimkus, Adrian Smith, Mike Turner, Tim Walberg, Greg Walden, Wally Herger, and Lynn Westmoreland.
The icing would be for Vice President Cheney to stride into the Senate chamber and take the President’s chair to preside over the Senate session.
Dims and libs would be apoplectic.
Actually it was 50 and there have been lists posted on other threads. I call them the fierce 50:)It started with 5 guys and the rest came back when they heard what was going on. One rep(forget his name)got off his plane and came back rolling his luggage with him. You have the right idea, thousands of FReepers called yesterday when we had a live thread going on it, it was great.
Here is a link to the video of the presser they had after they left the floor
