If you have been following the Senate Finance Committee meeting on the amendments to the Health Care Bill you know that every single Republican amendment is defeated with unanimous vote by the Democrats and every Democrat amendment is passed by unanimous vote by the Democrats. This is a waste of time and money and America will suffer. However, there is a way to stop this dead in its tracks.

Rule 4 of the Rules of Procedure for the
Senate Finance Committee reads: "Rule 4. Quorums. - (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) one-third of the membership of the committee, including not less than one member of the majority party and one member of the minority party, shall constitute a quorum for the conduct of business."

Let it be known, that conservative citizens all across the United States demand that the Republican Senators in the Senate Finance Committee stop negotiating and Walk Out for America. We will support this effort and will support the Republican members of the Committee.

Contact the Republican members listed HERE tomorrow with a phone call and email. Quote the rule while on the phone and copy the rule in your emails. This will go National with ALL Conservative Groups tomorrow.

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?
