Excerpts:
Specifically, sources say, any dissenters would be stripped of all committee assignments for that Congress…Next year, barring any surprise development, Boehner will be that nominee… And it may be aimed particularly at freshmen entering the House next year, some of whom have said on the campaign trail that they would refuse to vote for Boehner. Tea-party-aligned candidates in Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina have already said they will not support the speaker.
Not good at all.
Write your congressman.
This is the kind of power play that can be stopped by constituents.
This needs to be repeated, for the week.
Boehner is attempting to change the rules of how the Speaker is elected. He’s trying to maintain power AND punish those who did not/do not vote for him (aka TEA Reps), by keeping them off (or kicking them off) of committees.
This unethical fool needs to be removed as Speaker.
FIRE BONEHEAD!!!
