Boehner Losing Control: 102 House Republicans Bolt on Benghazi
Dear Member:
Only three weeks ago, Revive America launched its campaign for a House Select Committee on Benghazi.
At the time, the odds were overwhelmingly against us.
And odd as it may seem, our chief opposition wasn’t Barack Obama.
It wasn’t even Nancy Pelosi and the House Democrats.
It was none other than House Speaker John Boehner.
Back in November, Speaker Boehner announced his opposition to creating a House Select Committee on Benghazi.
He still opposes it.
That could also be why only 48 House Republicans dared until recently to cosponsor H. Res. 36, which establishes the Committee.
Because on Capitol Hill, what Speaker Boehner says, goes. He has immense power.
But Revive America doesn’t answer to Speaker Boehner.
So we fought back, and you helped us to make the difference – big time!
Because of your persistent phone calls to Congress, just in the past week,support for the House Select Committee on Benghazi has surged to a whopping 102 cosponsors!
We picked-up 40 new cosponsors last week!
Clearly, Speaker Boehner is losing control over Benghazi.
Every new cosponsor is a ‘vote of no confidence’.
Ms. Patricia Smith, the mother of Navy Seal Sean Smith, has officially endorsed the creation of a House Select Committee on Benghazi.
Here is part of what she wrote in her letter of endorsement:
“Please, Please help me find out who is responsible and fix it so no more of our sons & daughters are abandoned by the country they love. It is very difficult to find out. Leon Panetta advised Pres. Obama that the attack was occurring and Pres. Obama went to bed without sending help. It is too late for my son but not too late for those that follow” – Patricia A. Smith, Mother of Sean Smith, Killed in Benghazi
Thank you for all that you are doing to help.
Sincerely,
Bob Adams
Founder & President

Ah, yes…Mr Boehner: we’re waiting for the entire House to send you “smoke signals,” to let you know that America wants NEW LEADERSHIP, ASAP!!

How about a Carson/Lakin 3rd Party Ticket!

I’m ready to get away from these RINOs!

Patricia Smith was right on. Hussein was content that the mission he had helped plan was going down so he watched a few more minutes of it and then was content and went to bed and fell fast asleep!

I saw a vulture who had eyes like Bohner’s. Having heard the eyes are the windows to the soul, it does make me wonder.
April 14th, 2013 @ 6:12 pm
That would be Boehner. (there I go again…)

…How about a Carson/Lakin 3rd Party Ticket!
Dr. Carson: articulate, great orator, gives rousing speeches that get people fired up and ready to go, “clean”, as Biden would say. And we want him as president. Sound familiar? We know nothing about Dr. Carson except that he’s a prominent neurosurgeon. Have we learned nothing in the last 5 years?! I hope Dr. Carson will be part of the next Repub president’s cabinet, perhaps as head of health and human services. But president? Please. Let’s give the “historical” reason a rest.

1. Allen West went east when asked to support Orly’s cause.
2. Can someone send me a list of these 102 congressmen? — so I can send them postcards with: Enforce existing immigration laws–deport Obama for failing E-Verify his Connecticut issued SSN 042-68-4425
