Don't just call, social media is a good place to call out your congress critter too. You also have the opportunity to wake other constituent's to weak-kneed representation.

Here's an example of a question you might post that could cause others to want answers..

Mr/s. Congress critter could you please explain to us constituents what happened on the rule vote regarding the Mulvaney amendment?

Really disappointed in Hunter and McClintock from Cali....... and I don’t even live in the state anymore! Sheesh, can’t count on anyone anymore!

Two guys I have a lot of faith in are on that list which really adds to my confusion.

Wonder if it's the same two guys that puzzled me? Hunter and McClintock?

He lost to a Democrat and she will be voting against Boehner, for sure.

Exactly. The fact those two voted the way they did tells me there was something else in that amendment that’s not being disseminated to the public.

It was a comment I heard on C-Span and a friend is telling me it was actually 'adjustments and additions' made in order to get more support by staff as the vote was being retaken. Changes weren't technically made after the bill was passed, but members who voted one way in the first round may not have voted the same again or visa versa had they known of the additions by staff. This is the problem with bills so large and convoluted that no one reads what they are voting on.

I'd like to see members have to swear to an affidavit that they have read an entire bill in order to qualify their vote.

You should add Barry Loudermilk from GA to that list. He is a new member who has said repeatedly that he will not support Boehner for Speaker.

Mr. Boehner should end the drama and resign.

Thanks for posting the list.

My Congress Critter is a dem (Durham) from NC. I called some of the Republican representatives in NC. Some of them didn't have anyone answering the phone, but everyone should be back by Monday.

Anyone know where George Holding (R - NC) stands? He ran against spending, but the person who answered couldn't tell me where he stood in dumping Boehner as speaker.

This was the answer I received from my Congressman:

"the Mulvaney amendment that I co-sponsored was ruled out of order by the Rules Committee, and was not allowed to be voted on."

Whom is on the Rules Committee.

I’m kinda surprised about Randy Weber being a part of this... Got to be some reason... He is an old Precinct Chair friend of mine before he got bit by the Austin and Washington D.DC. bug...

I don’t think he is a lost cause either... Got to be something to this... Something we are not seeing yet...

Never hurts to ask, next time I might bump into him down this way...

As far as I am concerned Boehner has to go.

************
I agree with you. But he’s a “perfect fit” in a party with no principles or convictions. For that reason, he’s not going anywhere.

I appreciate you alerting patriots of concerning votes & actions of our Public Servants. I read the Article you linked & it doesnt say at all what you suggest. Those on the committee who BLOCKED the Amendment are NOT listed. How you concluded that these Conservatives - who supported the amendment - also blocked it in committee, I dont know; but it WASNT stated in this article. Many of these you mentioned ASLO stood up to vote AGAINST Boehner for Speaker just a couple of days later, which convinces me that you are mistaken. Please Verify & correct this if needed, provide proof if accurate & be more careful & thorough in the future.
