Wasn’t Massie going to run also?
I heard Jamie Dupree say this morning that Jody Hice will also vote against Boehner. No confirmation yet.
Oh, and Walter Jones, stated in the article on Stutzman I just posted.
Just made my call to mine - Phil Roe TN-1. No commitment from his staffer. The First Congressional has sent only Republicans since Reconstruction and recent years with +70% votes. But, Roe went wrong on the Cromnibus. And he went on a local talk station to defend his vote based on what he thought he got that he wanted.
If he goes wrong on this, he’s likely going to get primaried in ‘16 (and I have a bad feeling that he is going to go wrong.) Hope he proves ME wrong.
btw, staffer said I was the only call he had received this morning.
Please post house phone number on this thread
Will talk to @FOXNEWS at 9:05am CT about my run for Speaker of the House. Talking to @marthamaccallum on @AmericaNewsroom this morning.— Louie Gohmert (@replouiegohmert) January 5, 2015
They need what, 29 votes to block Boehner’s election? They have seven or eight and the vote is tomorrow. I hope that they haven’t started too late.
We need to light up the phones. Less than 20% of voters want Speaker Boehner. It is time to rise up and throw that drunk slob out!
The new congress hasn't even started and Boehner has already stabbed the American people in the back. They sent a clear message last election. He ignores it. He needs to go.
188 Democrats will vote for Boehner if necessary.
Save your energy.
Boehner has got to be replaced as Speaker!
Just called my local RINO, Kevin Brady (R), Montgomery co./ The Woodlands Texas and urged his vote AGAINST speaker Boehner.
Recently, over the last few months particularly just before the Omnibus CR bill that was passed, I urged Kevin Brady to vote against this CR....He voted FOR IT. His aids up in D.C. and the Conroe office openly stated their support for Boehner before this vote. So, I expect Brady will support Boehner as speaker in this new session of congress, but’cha never know. He may come to his senses.
Texans in Kevin Brady’s district...call, write, rinse and repeat and urge him to vote against speaker Boehner.
936-441-5700 Conroe, Tx. office
I just called Rep Michael McCaul-(10th TX) The person answering for his Washington office said that he was undecided. 202 225 2401.
I’ve already signed a petition and sent my congresswoman an email telling her not to support Boehner again. Not much more I can do than that.......
A bit tangential, but a friend reports that the new Congress includes two Baptist ministers.
Tell your representatives:
A vote for Boehner as Speaker is a vote for you to be primaried.
Pending a response from my request, I'd put Brooks at 80-90% chance of voting against Boehner.
No idea on the rest of the Alabama GOP delegation with one exception: Bradley Byrne will almost assuredly go with Boehner. Some of the others are squishy - my best hope is for a 50-50 split (which would be 3 for; 3 against; 1 Rat in the house).
