From
Ohio Tea Party Patriots Coordinator, Ralph King:
As
many of you know Speaker John Boehner is resigning. Make no mistake: Speaker Boehner is resigning
because of your hard work!
Here
at Tea Party Patriots, we could not be more proud of this accomplishment. And
as a Tea Party Patriots supporter, you should feel proud, too!
Tea
Party Patriots were the first grassroots organization in the country to
call for John Boehner's firing all the way back in 2012.
I
remember the initials call(s) in late 2011 when fellow Tea Party
Patriots State Coordinator for Ohio, Marianne Gasiecki and I (Ralph King)
spoke with Jenny Beth Martin about starting the
effort of getting rid Speaker Boehner.
With
your help, we bombarded Congress with petitions calling for his ouster gathered
through our #FireTheSpeaker campaign. We pressured members of Congress
and we hounded him in the press.
Replacing
Speaker Boehner is going to be very fluid and the selection process is very
inside politics with many different scenarios.
Without
getting caught up in all the scenarios at this time, we want to focus on what
we can do immediately to make a difference in the selection process. This
first part is critical:
First
- please contact the GOP members of
Congress and share your feelings with them on what you are looking for in
the next Speaker.
.
Second
- continuing the efforts used to force Speaker
Boehner to resign - we will now turn these efforts towards Mitch
McConnell!

the Majority Leader of the US Senate.
