21 Republicans voted against the stopgap measure to prevent a government shutdown 10/1/23 (which was averted). In a statement to Fox News Digital, Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) summed up the sentiment for the group by saying,
"Regular Order has become irregular in the House. For decades, the House has been derelict in duty. Failing to pass appropriations bills and instead opting to kick the can down the road. I refuse to play that game. Continuing Resolutions with long lead times allows the House to shirk responsibility until it becomes politically toxic to do anything but pass massive spending bills written by leadership no one has time to read. Promises made, must be promises kept. I will not stand by and watch my country decompose."
