BACKGROUND
The Senate Republican Conference is the formal organization of the 51 Republican Senators, also called the party caucus. As its Chairman, Santorum facilitates the development and dissemination of the Republican agenda in the Senate and assists the Senators to provide a Republican voice to the media and the public.

PREMISE OF THE SUIT
Diamonds are members of the U.S. Senate. There are two Senators for each state in the union, regardless of population. After working out differences in conference with House, the Senate passes the legislation that becomes the "law of the land." The most powerful Senators are the majority leadership and the committee chairs, which are always members of the majority party. Chairmen of the subcommittees of Appropriations are known as 'Cardinals' due to the power they wield over the allocation of federal funds. Senators serve for six-year terms and are in power because you voted for them.
