| Fellow Conservative:
Congress will vote at 12:45 p.m. Eastern today on whether to re-elect John Boehner (R-OH) as Speaker of the House for two more years.
Republicans who want things to change must vote to replace him.
Please take a few minutes to call some of the members listed below to urge them to vote for someone other than John Boehner.
If 29 Republicans vote for someone else and Boehner fails to receive an outright majority of the total votes cast, the question will go to a second ballot.
If these Republicans hold firm and refuse to vote for Boehner, House Republicans will be forced to nominate someone else for Speaker.
Please note that, despite the commonly used excuse, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) will not be elected Speaker because there simply aren’t enough Democrats to give her a majority of the total votes cast.
REPLACE THE SPEAKER
Speaker Boehner does not represent the interests of Republican voters across the country. He sabotaged the effort to stop Obamacare, he capitulated on amnesty, and he regularly attacks conservatives in his own party.
If Republicans in Washington want to fulfill their promises to stop the president’s liberal agenda, they must elect new leadership. They simply cannot support John Boehner for Speaker and expect things to change.
Here’s a list of members you should call before 12:45 p.m. Eastern today.
Pick out a few lawmakers, call their offices, and simply urge them to vote for someone other than John Boehner today.
If they tell you there aren’t enough votes to elect someone else, remind them that if they vote for Boehner, that is certainly true. But if they take a stand and vote for someone else, he most certainly can be replaced.
Americans did not send them to Washington to stick their fingers into the wind; they sent them there to do the right thing.
