Lol... they are participating fiercely, and at no small personal or political cost.

It is a bold stand they've taken. And the end game is about 21 months away.

Yeah, "the thugs" are the ones using constitutional means. The people barring citizens from the Capitol against court orders, putting up barricades, and locking doors and windows are perfectly acceptable, though.

Cowardice described as bold. Orwell would be proud.

How is going to another state "on vacation" particpating and doing your job? And what are the costs? Last I checked, the public supported the irresponsible spending and keeping up the bills that cant be paid..

Sorry, its not bold to not do your job and to run and hide.. its childish..

And to think about the hypocracy, the left criticized the right for not taking part in the "healthcare bill", and many other bills, even though the right was locked out and COULDNT particupate.. now they are celebrating the left for not even wanting to take part..

We are in a new Orwellian world. Not participating is now participating. Going against the will of the people, is now democracy. You get the drift....
