Key Rules Committee Members: Ware, Jones, Ingram, Massie -- have voted for Article V BBA resolutions in the past, but may not be firmly committed. Landes, Knight, Habeeb have voted against Article V BBA resolutions out of runaway convention fears. The other members of the Rules Committee are either firmly with us or against us.
