PenceBlog: <b>Novak: Pence asks colleagues to make 'bold statement'</b> - U.S. Congressman Mike Pence : 6th District Of Indiana

Syndicated columnist Robert Novak mentioned Congressman Pence is his column today about attempts to "rein in congressional spending excesses."

Here is an excerpt:

"Lewis' aim was to get the leadership to take the legislation off the floor rather than lose the vote on the rule permitting debate.

"But Hastert was not yielding this time, as he informed an emergency closed-door conference of all House Republicans at noon Thursday.

"Rep. Mike Pence, head of the conservative Republican Study Committee, told hushed colleagues that they must make a 'bold statement' on reform or face disaster in November."
