Definitions The words "Treason", "Sedition", "Insurrection", and "Rebellion" are individually defined in terms of violence, but the word "Rebellion" is additionally defined to mean open resistance or open opposition even if the resistance is nonviolent, as illustrated in the following definitive example: "Recent election losses have led to open rebellion among some party members, who are calling for a complete change of leadership." "Treason." Merriam-Webster.com. Merriam-Webster, n.d. Web. 8 Oct. 2013. <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/treason>.

Web. 8 Oct. 2013. <http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rebellion>. Exhibits A copy of a letter from Rep. Mark Meadows to Rep. Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Leader Eric Cantor, dated August 21st, 2013, bears the signatures of the impeached Representatives, clearly establishes their identities, clearly establishes their motive to de-fund the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and clearly establishes the discretionary appropriations process as the core strategy for their rebellion, even quoting the writings of James Madison in Federalist No. 58 that the "power of the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon ... for obtaining a redress of every grievance..." The 80 (eighty) impeached Representatives did not act alone, but are connected to the following additional 14 (fourteen) Senators through the FreedomWorks.org blog at (http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/jwithrow/does-your-senator-stand-with- mike-lee-against-obam), by Joshua Withrow, originally dated August 14, 2013, and updated August 22, 2013: Sen.

The Smoking Gun of the Rebellion of 2013 This transcript definitively establishes the central truth of the Rebellion of 2013 by connecting the 80 impeached Representatives, the 14 named Senators, the expiration of the Continuing Resolution, the federal government shutdown, and the FreedomWorks foundation. (http://www.freedomworks.org/blog/jwithrow/does- your-senator-stand-with-mike-lee-against-obam): Have Your Members of Congress Signed the "Defund ObamaCare" Letter? Find Out Here! By Joshua Withrow on August 14, 2013; Scroll down to see signers lists. The Continuing Resolution (CR) that allows funding for the federal government expires on September 30th and must be renewed in order for the doors to stay open in Washington. The CR is the best chance we will get to withdraw funds from ObamaCare. This can be done by attaching bills by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) or Congressman Tom Graves (R-GA) to the CR, which will totally defund ObamaCare. But for the Cruz/Graves effort to have teeth, Republicans in both chambers of Congress must all be committed to absolutely refusing to vote for any spending bill that contains funding for ObamaCare. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) are leading the charge to get their colleagues to commit to this approach, by putting their signatures to a letter affirming that they will refuse to vote for a CR that contains ObamaCare funding. Support for the Cruz/Graves bills is absolutely meaningless without also signing the Lee/Meadows letter. Harry Reid and his Democrats will have no incentive to compromise unless they know the Republicans are willing to take a hard stance - even allowing the government to be shut down, if necessary - in order to stop the catastrophically unworkable and unaffordable health care law from taking effect this January. But Republican leadership is either afraid or unwilling to defund ObamaCare, and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is personally leading the effort to keep senators away from Lee's letter. He has even succeeded in convincing five Republicans who had signed to take their names off the letter. In the House, Congressman Meadows' letter is getting no support from Republican leadership, and only about a third of the Republican House Members have signed his letter. This cannot stand. Republicans have spent the last three years working to get rid of this unpopular, unaffordable, unworkable law, and there is no excuse for giving up now. Accordingly, FreedomWorks has taken the extraodrinary position of issuing a Key Vote on the letter - signatories will be scored on our online scorecard. Below is the list of Republican Senators and where they stand on the Cruz bill and the Lee letter. 14 Senators have signed the Lee letter thus far, while five others have signed the letter but then taken their names off.
