* “Encourage” your House Rep in the US House to force do-nothing Chairmen such as Issa and Mike Rogers to resign, before Labor Day, 2014.

Soooooo, this is mostly pointless. Do you know how the Congress hands out committee memberships and chairs? It's pay to play. The party national committee controls it. It's at the other end of the insatiable maw of campaign spending picking out nuggets. If a Representative or Senator wants the job, they must contribute more. So the issues really are more along the lines of:

You should contribute to the person if there is an intersection to the above. As far as kicking people out - the only way is to make sure they are not re-elected. So in essence you are suggesting Issa should not be re-elected. Who does that benefit? Do you have a replacement in mind? How will it affect the majority and the investigation - positively or negatively? Will it be as impactful as primary-ing Cantor was? If I were in Issa's district I would oppose this out of necessity because the replacement is a Dem.

Keep in mind that the majority can always create another Select Committee with special powers (oh wait! they did!) far exceeding what Issa can wield. Which is also a nifty way to suck in more money for the national committees, both of them.

Thanks for letting us peek at the Rotten RINO Rules.

Our best chance of beating them is to ignore their rules.
