Morning FRiends! Hope yunz all had a great weekend!
Thoughts going out to Mrs prisoner6 who is having some major dental work done. Prisoner6 wanted me to convey to you that he may not be checking in today. He’ll be busy helping her out.
And now for today’s laugh.
I emailed my RINO rep. Mike Kelly protesting any vote to retain Boehner as speaker. Read his hilarious response below:
“
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Speakership of the House of Representatives. I greatly appreciate that you’ve taken the time to contact me on this important issue.
The House Republican Conference re -elected Speaker Boehner by voice vote on November 13, 2014. The only nominees on the ballot were Speaker John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. There was no organized opposition within the Republican Party against Speaker Boehner’s candidacy , though Members will have the chance to formally vote on the Speakership in January on the House floor.
During t he 112 th and 113 th Congress, under the leadership of Speaker John Boehner, we were able to change the conversation in Washington, where the talk is now about spending reductions and job creation, instead of spending increases. While more must be done, our recent successes were made despite a do-nothing Senate that has r outinely r efused to pass b udget s and a President who thinks more government spending is the answer to our economic recovery.
As Speaker Boehner has said time and again, Washington has a spending p roblem, not a revenue problem. As we celebrate the gains of the midterm elections, the new 11 4 th Congress must stand united in our common cause to end Washington’s fiscal irresponsibility. The costs of not standing united are no less than the future greatness of our nation and the loss of the American Dream for generations to come. At the same time, we must remain true to conservative principles.
Again, thank you for contacting me regarding this important issue. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my staff if I can be of assistance in the future. It is an honor and privilege to serve Western Pennsylvania in the United States Congress.
