House Republicans are taking no chances with the upcoming vote on legislation that would authorize funding for the federal government through the end of this fiscal year. When House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., first released the Continuing Resolution (CR) Monday, House leaders scheduled the vote for Thursday. But with a major snow storm about to hit D.C., and with activist organizations signaling they intend to be a problem, House leaders moved up the vote to sometime between 10 AM and 1 PM today … right when the worst of the snow storm is supposed to hit.
FreedomWorks announced yesterday they opposed the CR since it did not include an amendment depriving Obamacare of needed implementation funds. So far though key conservative members have ignored the outside activists.
