Marlin Stutzman is a rare breed. It was January 5, 2015, the day before the Inauguration of the 114th U.S. Congress. U.S. Congressman Marlin Stutzman and I were in Marlins D.C. office when another U.S. Congressman came to get Marlin to change his vote on the reelection of John Boehner as U.S. Speaker of the House.
This Congressman knew we Republican Hoosiers were not happy with John Boehner. Even though voters had given Speaker Boehner and the U.S. House an uninterrupted Republican majority since 2010, President Obamas radical leftist agenda was still steamrolling through the country. Time and time again, we had seen Speaker Boehner cave to President Obama when the going got tough. Worse yet, Speaker Boehner was known for trying to silence the few Republicans in the U.S. House that were willing to stand and do the job we had sent them to do. Howe! ver, this Congressman had agreed to switch and vote in favor of John Boehner, and now he had been sent to get Marlin to do the same.
But Marlin Stutzman would not switch; he would not be silenced. I watched as a steadfast Marlin Stutzman explained to this Congressman why we had to do better in turning back the radical left tide why we had to stand by our conservative principles and have the courage to fight on behalf of our country and its citizens, even when - especially when - it wasnt easy. And as I sat, I realized this was more than a politician I was watching; I was watching a statesman, a leader, a man that put us above his own political ambitions - a man we could trust.
The next day, Marlin Stutzman and only about two dozen other Republicans voted no for Speaker Boehners reelection.
