Over 560,000 Letters were generated and sent to the “‘Don’t Be Yellow: Dump Boehner Now!’ campaign,” but they will arrive too late. The House voted to keep Boehner today, and this momma is MAD!
Why, because the voice of 560,000 people was completely muted in today’s vote! At this point I don’t think “they” (our elected officials) hear us at all! And they certainly DON’T have a spine!!! DC mantra: “Go with the flow, don’t make waves, or else the Establishment will devour you, or better yet-you won’t be placed on the committee you want :(“
House Reps are also lying by saying that they “HAD” to vote for Boehner because he was nominated in November, and this is NOT true, others were nominated and our representatives had a choice!!! The others who were nominated and could have been picked were:
1) Ted Yoho
2) Daniel Webster
3) Louie Gohmert
My representative DID vote FOR Boehner-which just shows me that he does not represent my voice. The house could have gone bold here, but they opted to do whatever the hell they wanted, not what we wanted! How can you call for change, if you don’t make changes???
I am however proud of these 25 Reps that stood up to the Establishment and voted against Boehner:
