Free Republic

This is from fellow freeper and congressional candidate in Ohio Eric Gurr

Posted a video on economics and would like your thoughts. It's about six minutes and essentially lays out a big and fundamental difference between myself and Mr. Boehner. All comments and criticisms welcome.

The Tea Party Leadership Fund, a Tea Party-aligned Political Action Committee (PAC), on Wednesday will endorse J.D. Winteregg for Congress in Ohio’s eighth congressional district—a seat currently held by House Speaker John Boehner. “We’ve undertaken a long, deliberative process in deciding who to throw our weight behind to unify conservatives behind an alternative to John Boehner,” radio’s Rusty Humphries, the spokesman for the Tea Party Leadership Fund’s “Primary Boehner” campaign, said in a statement provided to Breitbart News ahead of its public release. “It was a tough decision with two great candidates, but in the end, there’s one man left...

There will be a debate and straw poll to find the best candidate for the primary against John Boehner on May 6th. Debate is February 22nd at 11:00 AM. Location is: The Gathering Place, 501 Nation Ave Eaton, Ohio 45320. Sponsored by The Tea Party Leadership Fund.

On Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) declared that immigration reform was "absolutely not" dead this Congress at a press conference in which his staff reportedly asked Hispanic media to attend.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday held out the possibility that he might bring U.S. immigration legislation to the floor by the end of the year. Asked at a question-and-answer session with reporters if he intends to bring up immigration reform this year, Boehner, a Republican, replied: "I still think that immigration reform is an important subject that needs to be addressed and I am hopeful."

An open letter to John Boehner Speaker Boehner, Why did you divide the party? Where would we be right now had you not divided the party with your purge of conservatives from key committee positions in 2012? Your rejection of the fiscal conservatives was particularly obtuse as it was a slap in the face to those who had helped the Republicans win the house in the first place. When the conservatives pushed to defund the Affordable Care Act why did our party leadership reject them? Obamacare was from the start every bit as much economic policy as it was health...
