Millions of pink slips have now been delivered to Congress, to the offices of lawmakers as a reminder from their constituents that their time is up, or at least counting. From all over the country, sending a pink slip to Congress has caught on. The movement was started by WorldNetDaily which charges $29.95 to those who want to send their congressman a pink slip. According to reports, about four million pink slips have now been sent. “The pink slips program is a great way to get the attention of members who have forgotten they will have to answer to the people
next year on out-of-control spending and Washington power grabs,” said Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., yesterday. “I support it! And I want my constituents to know I hear them loud and clear.”

This was further discussed on One the Record with Greta van Susteren when she interviewed Senator Jim Demint (R, SC) on the program yesterday. The transcript of the interview is posted below courtesy of FOX News: (UPDATE: The video of the interview is posted below)

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Wait until you see what members of Congress are getting. It’s pink. And we are told the number is more than 4 million. That’s all the clues we are giving you.

South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint will tell you all about it. He went “On the Record”.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

VAN SUSTEREN: Senator, nice to see you, sir.

SEN. JIM DEMINT, R – S.C.: Greta, welcome to my place.

VAN SUSTEREN: Indeed. I see you have some pink slips. What are these pink slips?

DEMINT: Thousands of pink slips coming to the senator’s office, congressman’s office, telling them we are on notice if we vote for government health care or cap and trade or any more spending, we’re fired. And I think it’s a great effort.

VAN SUSTEREN: These are actually being mailed to everybody’s office?

DEMINT: From all over the country. It’s a movement that you got a lot of different names on these things. But people are just signing up on the Web site and the slips go out. And we’re collecting them in our office.

But it’s just putting everyone on notice. And I think that’s what the American people have been doing for several months now is just telling us if we keep spending and borrowing, we’re going to get fired.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. Now, I went on the Web site. I think it’s called Sendapinkslip.com and saw how easily you can do it. Are these simples you have got?

DEMINT: They have names on them.

VAN SUSTEREN: They have different names on them?
