Members of the House and Senate will host a press conference on Tuesday, November 17th at 11:00 a.m. at the House Triangle outside the U.S. Capitol. 

Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Congressman Trent Franks (R-Arizona), and Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) are among those who are planning to be present at this event.

Janet (Folger) Porter, founder and president of Faith2Action, will also be one of the participants in this press conference. "Pink slips nearly 3 times the size of the Washington Monument have already been delivered to Congress demanding that the government stay out of health care, energy, and speech," declared Porter, "it's encouraging to know that message is finally being heard-and not a moment too soon."

Senator DeMint stated that "these pink slips are getting to people right now. It's the only reason people haven't passed something [the health care bill] in the Senate. ...Keep it up and let's keep trying to draw attention to it." 

Meanwhile, more than 4.5 million pink slip warning notices have already been sent to Congress by concerned citizens across the nation through WorldNetDaily and the website: www.SendCongressaPinkSlip.com. 

"Placed end to end, the 'pink slips' would stretch from the District of Columbia to the Sears Tower in Chicago," said Joseph Farah, CEO of WorldNetDaily, who will also be participating in the press conference.  "If stacked, the pile of pink would be taller than the Sears Tower itself." 

U.S. Representative Tom Price (R-Georgia) said, "They're talking about it, but they're only talking about it behind closed doors and in the elevators as they go up and down and in very whispered tones.  Because, what you hear are people saying, 'How many of those did you get or how many people came to your office today? And what are you going to do and how are you going to vote on this?"
