WASHINGTON – When
John Boehner reconvenes the House of Representatives next month, he’s going to
have some mail. So will every other Republican
member. Boehner won’t like his. How
the other Republican members respond to the tens of thousands of letters they
get will determine whether Boehner will remain as speaker.
The
Dump Boehner Campaign, a project
designed by Joseph Farah, founder of WND.com, is off to a blazing start. Within
minutes of its announcement Monday evening, thousands of letters calling on
Republican House members to find another leader were already being generated.
In less than 24 hours, orders for nearly 200,000 letters to
Republican members of the House were placed, rivaling the launch of the
historic “pink slips” campaign of 2010.
“The response has been unprecedented, amazing and
gratifying,” said Farah. “I’ve never seen anything quite like this since our
historic ‘Pink Slip Campaign’ that ultimately generated more than 9 and a half
million letters in 2010. Americans are angry about Boehner’s betrayal of the
voters who gave him a bigger majority in the House and Republicans control of
the Senate. This could prove to be Boehner’s undoing.”
That depends, of course, on how 246 House Republicans react
to the outpouring of letters generated by the campaign – letters individually
addressed to each member and personalized with the sender’s name and delivered
to congressional offices by FedEx.
“We saw the same thing in 2010,” recalled Farah. “People
were angry then. They may be angrier now. It is as if elections have no
consequences when Republicans vote.”
A sampling of just how upset people
are has been posted
online, with abundant promises of “I’m in,”
and “Do it.”
The
plan had been announced only a day before,
with Farah writing that the most effective method of reaching out to Congress
is individual letters to members. His plan facilitates that.
His program allows people to send all those letters, with
their own names and addresses, all for the one price of $29.95 via FedEx.
He added, “From previous campaigns
we know this approach prompts members to talk about the boxes of letters that
are coming into their offices each day. And that’s exactly what we want to do
with the DUMP
BOEHNER CAMPAIGN – a grass-roots lobbying effort
that can channel your outrage into effective and meaningful action.”
He said what can be guaranteed is that members “will see,
hear and feel your participation in it.”

“You can order your
letters sent today, and they will be ready for delivery when the new Congress
reconvenes in January. It would be
great to see thousands or, better yet, tens of thousands flooding in that first
week. That will make an impression that cannot be ignored by Republican members
of the House,” he explained.
“I’m excited. Now it’s up to you. I’ve already ordered my
letters. I’ve even secured the domain names DumpBoehnerCampaign.com and
DumpBoehnerNow.com for social media dissemination. Tell your friends,” he
wrote.
The letter explains to members of the U.S. House that two
issues have “prompted Americans to turn in droves to the Republican Party in
November 2014 – Barack Obama’s blatantly unconstitutional executive action to provide
amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, and the deliberately deceptive
restructuring of America’s health-care system through Obamacare, which
threatens to unravel the greatest health delivery system in the world.”
Pointing out that Republicans before the election “solemnly
vowed to STOP this lame-duck president,” the letter continues, “Now you have
the power, right and duty to stop him.”
“But it won’t happen with John Boehner leading you. You know
this to be true. The trillion-dollar budget deal is just the latest proof that
Boehner is not capable of leading the House to victory during this critical
period.”
It calls on members to replace him.
The campaign notes that the political state in America is
worse than any time since the Civil War, with a broken economy, piled up
national debt, abuse of executive power, the judiciary out of control and the
moral framework under attack.
But, the campaign explains, “the American people have
demonstrated twice in four years that they realize something has gone awry –
overwhelmingly voting for the Republican Party in two midterm elections because
it clearly campaigned on returning to first principles.”
Only to be betrayed by Republican leaders.
The campaign is, it explains, the way to get hard-copy
letters to every Republican in the House of Representatives.
