'Unprecedented': Americans race to dump Boehner ('I've never seen anything quite like this')
wnd.com ^

WASHINGTON – When John Boehner reconvenes the House of Representatives next month, he’s going to have some mail.

So will every other Republican member.

Boehner won’t like his.

How the other Republican members respond to the tens of thousands of letters they get will determine whether Boehner will remain as speaker.

The Dump Boehner Campaign, a project designed by Joseph Farah, founder of WND.com, is off to a blazing start. Within minutes of its announcement Monday evening, thousands of letters calling on Republican House members to find another leader were already being generated.

In less than 24 hours, orders for nearly 200,000 letters to Republican members of the House were placed, rivaling the launch of the historic “pink slips” campaign of 2010.

“The response has been unprecedented, amazing and gratifying,” said Farah. “I’ve never seen anything quite like this since our historic ‘Pink Slip Campaign’ that ultimately generated more than 9 and a half million letters in 2010. Americans are angry about Boehner’s betrayal of the voters who gave him a bigger majority in the House and Republicans control of the Senate. This could prove to be Boehner’s undoing.”

That depends, of course, on how 247 House Republicans react to the outpouring of letters generated by the campaign – letters individually addressed to each member and personalized with the sender’s name and delivered to congressional offices by FedEx.

“We saw the same thing in 2010,” recalled Farah. “People were angry then. They may be angrier now. It is as if elections have no consequences when Republicans vote.”

A sampling of just how upset people are has been posted online, with abundant promises of “I’m in,” and “Do it.”

The speakers are all compromised somehow and the democrats have the files. Who would want to follow in Gingrich or Livingstone footsteps?

There is no doubt in my mind that if the democrats didn’t have a super majority Boehner, McConnel, McCain, Collins and a bunch of other traiterous republicans would have voted to pass Obamacare. No doubt at all.

My prefered term for these “rollover losers” is “supine catamites”.

Unprecedented

Not quite. The bad guys ran Newt Gingrich out of the Speaker's office because he was doing good . It's about time the good guys run off a bad speaker.

It’s not that they are gutless, because they clearly have the guts to take on conservatives.

It’s that they are liberals concerned only with protecting their turf.

The Republican Caucus in the House already had its nominating election for House leadership positions in November. Boehner was the only candidate running for Speaker and he was nominated, unanimously, on a voice vote.
It will be Boehner versus Pelosi for Speaker when the House reconvenes in January. The vote is likely to be something flose to 247 Boehner/188 Pelosi.
Aside from Boehner as Speaker, the House majority leadership will be:
Majority Leader: Kevin McCarthy
Majority Whip: Steve Scalise
Majority Chief Deputy Whip: Patrick McHenry
Conference Chair: Cathy McMorris Rodgers
Conference Vice-Chair: Lynn Jenkins
Conference Secretary: Virginia Foxx
Campaign Committee Chairman: Greg Walden
Policy Committee Chairman: Luke Messer
Senior Deputy Whip: Ann Wagner

“This country is ours, it does not belong to the politicians
And not the media”

The politicians aren’t bright enough to understand this.
The puppet masters that are funding these twits are the ones that need the message.

Do you really think that people with the appearance and brains ( lack of ) like Boehner, Pelosi, McCain, Landrau, McCaskill, Collins, McConnell, Stabinow, Snowe, Toomey,
Boxer, Conyers, etc. care what we think?

“The GOP is not part of any solution to any problem.”

What about a shortage of people being horse whipped?

That mail will all go to a holding facility in Virginia where it will be decontaminated for potential anthrax.

Although I must confess your “problem” is, ah, much more benign than a “problem” that I would create for them to solve >;D

You want that letter sent to your rep? It's gonna cost ya....LOL!

That’s 246 different letters, with different names and addresses and different destinations all for the one price of $29.95 – and they’re sent by Fed Ex! Try to top that. It’s just not something individuals could ever do. Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2014/12/heres-the-plan-to-dump-boehner/#R84rzy0HLO5P19iu.99

You can be jailed, and fined for DRIVING under the influence, but obviously leading the House under the influence is not that much of a problem for boehnerDICT Arnold.
