I disagree strongly. Dire times call for dire majors. Personally my business can not take anymore of these outrageous spending bills. I'd much rather shutdown for a day, than deal with anymore of this crap. The pink slip idea is 'cute', but i don't feel it is going to be very effective. It will be a big laugh in the representatives offices, while they toss them in the trash. People have got to quit sticking their heads in the sand like a bunch of Ostriches, get a back bone, and hit them where it hurts. If you flat can not close your business, just scale it down for a day enough to cover the bills, and more importantly, don't SPEND any money.

It is a good idea, but I think it would open the door to the Dems to fast track the the parts of the health care bill they want to push through! I think you have misunderstand the term Quorum? It is any number of members of a committee that would represent the majority of that group! So with 13 Dem. and only 10 Rep. on the Senate Finance Committee if the Rep. walk out , the Dem would still have a majority and it would give them the means to pass anything out of Committee! Especially if they use-

Rule 19. Amendment of Rules.—The foregoing rules may be added to, modified, amended or suspended at any time.

But rule 4 states that at least one member of the 'minority' must be present to conduct business. Exactly how can they use rule 19, if they can not conduct business in the first place?
