Mixed reactions from GOP reps who haven't signed:
@RepDonBacon, who says he considered signing but ultimately decided against it, says he's not surprised.
@RepRiggleman finds the figure "stunning," adding, "I'm out of words for how disturbing this is."

Riggleman says he predicted only around 70 House Republicans would sign and speculates that "some pressure was exerted onto the caucus" in order to get to 126.
Surprisingly absent from the brief are representatives from "New California State" and "New Nevada State."
The reason is that those states are fictitious.
