The founder of Tea Party Nation, one of the organizations that helped rouse the American electorate in 2010 and give the GOP control of the U.S. House, is endorsing the recently launched Don’t be Yellow, Dump Boehner Now! campaign.
“Absolutely,” Judson Phillips told WND Monday. “I want people storming the halls of Congress. Melting the phone lines and anything else.
“So, I love [WND CEO Joseph Farah's] letter writing idea.”
So far, during a holiday period in which little attention is paid to Washington, more than half-a-million letters have been lined up for delivery to House GOP members when they convene in January.
In a commentary in the Washington Times, Phillips explained why he thinks Boehner should be replaced.
“A month after its incredible victory, the GOP squandered its mandate, surrendering to the Democrats,” he wrote. “The GOP-led House of Representatives did not proclaim its mandate and hold off on major decisions until the Republican majority in the Senate was sworn in. No, they went to the GOP position of preemptive surrender and gave President Obama and the Democrats almost everything they wanted.
“Despite the pleas and demands from the base, the GOP did nothing to stop Mr. Obama’s executive amnesty. They even rewarded left-wing billionaires who had spent millions to keep the Democrats in power by extending so-called ‘Green Energy’ subsidies,” he wrote. “The architect of the Republican surrender was House Speaker John Boehner.”
Despite Boehner’s earlier reliance on the tea party, as soon as he was in office, he ignored the movement, Phillips wrote.

We have repeatedly warned our rep but he has his nose so far up Boehner’s tailpipe there is no swaying him. We are just going to try to get rid of him in 2016.
