I apologize for the delay in getting this out, but I wanted to pass along the roll call for the vote on the RSC Amendment. As you might imagine, every Democrat voted against our amendment. You can find the tally at this link. I have also included the Republican vote results below, along with a statement from Chairman Jordan on the passage of the Continuing Resolution (CR). The CR passed the House at 4:40 am this morning by a vote of 235-189. A more detailed analysis of conservative amendment wins and losses in the CR will be forthcoming from the RSC.

The following two articles highlight the great conservative efforts on this CR that you all helped make possible.

We were pleased to receive the support of 20 non-RSC Members, who I wanted to highlight for you: Bono Mack, Boustany, Duncan (TN), Fitzpatrick, Gallegly, Gerlach, Heller, LaTourette, Marino, McCotter, Mica, Murphy, Paul, Platts, Rehberg, Rohrabacher, Rogers (MI), Smith (NE), Tiberi and Whitfield

Tune in to C-SPAN's Newsmakers tomorrow at 10am and 6pm to watch Chairman Jordan discuss spending and the RSC's role in the 112th Congress.

I would also be remiss if I did not mention that the RSC's Executive Director, Paul Teller, is celebrating 10 years with the RSC and his 40th birthday this weekend. Congrats!

Thank you again for your support and enjoy the long weekend!
