Valin Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Daily Signal: Melissa Quinn January 26, 2015 Conservative lawmakers are officially rolling out a new group aimed at advancing a conservative agenda in the House of Representatives after they expressed discontent with the direction of the Republican Study Committee. “Our main hope is that we can represent the voids and valleys for our constituents back home,” Rep. Raúl Labrador of Idaho told The Daily Signal today. “With a small group that is nimble and able to work on issues that are of importance to our constituents, we can make a difference in Congress.” Called the House Freedom Caucus, the group serves as a conservative alternative to the Republican Study Committee, which has over 170 members. However, it was not formed to be “anti-RSC,” a Republican congressional aide told The Daily Signal last month. Membership in the Freedom Caucus will be by invitation only, and the group plans to “advance an agenda of limited, constitutional government in Congress.” (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber_Liberty Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 @Draggingtree, i never did like things like Membership in the Freedom Caucus will be by invitation only like what the hell does that mean They're small on purpose to be an idea group, not a voting bloc. They've seen what happens when the House Leadership decides to damage these groups by diluting their membership with "moderates." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
