It’s excellent news that Boehner will be challenged — especially by a young Tea Party candidate. However, he has already made his first mistake. He cannot limit his campaign to only one issue, as important as the abortion issue is. Boehner is vulnerable on SO many issues, if one limit’s the attack on him to one issue, it is a gauranteed loss. I hope this young candidate will revise and expand his plan — and/or some more seasoned advisors will come alongside him and guide him in the way that he should go.

WEST CHESTER, Ohio, Sept. 16, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ — On Monday David Lewis of Cincinnati, Ohio will announce his primary against John Boehner. Mr. Lewis is a pro-life/Tea Party activist who has protested and spoken out against Speaker Boehner’s betrayal of pro-life and Tea Party campaign promises. The announcement will take place in front of John Boehner’s Butler County office:

And nothing is more defenseless, or more innocent, or more pure, than an unborn baby.’ But this was not enough for Boehner; he solemnly declared, ‘There is no cause more noble than the defense of human life. There is no mission more critical. No debate more urgent.’

“In his first nine months as House Speaker, John Boehner has had several opportunities to defund the largest baby killers in America — Planned Parenthood. But Boehner caved in to Obama, and gave Planned Parenthood taxpayer’s hard earned dollars. Neither pro-lifers nor Tea Party activists should ever forgive John Boehner for lavishing our money on Planned Parenthood.

“It is clear from the facts that Planned Parenthood is not only the largest killer of unborn babies in America, but also that they have become a criminal syndicate covering up the crimes of rapists, sex traffickers, and pedophiles.

“Concerning Obamacare, John Boehner could have stopped it dead in its tracks by refusing to fund it...
