(ed.note: "L&P!" designates members who are "Loud and Proud!" in their opposition to the president's private-accounts-based Social Security phase-out bill. "FIW" designates members who have their "Finger in the Wind", i.e., those who have publicly stated a willingness to begin phasing-out Social Security so long as President Bush can make it safe for them to do so. "CUP?" refers to members whose status is in question because they appear to be "Caving Under the Pressure." "CFO" refers to members who remain uncertain about whether or not to phase out Social Security because the policy issues involved are so complex they "Can't Figure it Out." Linked asterisks (*) note events, statements or stories that have affected a member's position within the Conscience Caucus.)
