(Breitbart) – The political action
committee founded by Ronald Reagan called for Senate Majority Leader Sen.
Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to resign as House Speaker Rep. John
Boehner (R-OH) did last Friday, so a constitutional conservative can take
McConnell’s place leading the Senate.
Citizens for the Republic, founded
by Reagan in 1977, is a conservative grassroots organization that made its
announcement for McConnell to follow Boehner’s lead on Tuesday.
“The American people gave
Republicans a majority in the Senate last year, but they’ve proven to be
completely incompetent in stopping Obama’s radical left-wing agenda. This
remarkable lack of action has mystified the American people and resulted in frustration
and anger with Washington politicians,” stated Executive Director of Citizens
for the Republic Diana Banister in a press release.
Banister added, “The lack of
leadership along with the back-room deals and caving to special interests must
stop. It is time for Mr. McConnell to go the way of Mr. Boehner. America needs
new, fresh conservative leadership that will take on the challenges of
government and put the needs of the American people first.”
Citizens for the Republic’s call for
McConnell to step down comes after a top Republican made the same suggestion.
“Mitch is a good and honorable guy,
but the base is leaving our party,” Chariman of the Louisiana GOP Roger
Villere, also affiliated with the Republican National Committee, recently told
the Washington Times.
“I’ve worked for 12 years as
chairman to build this party, and I just don’t want to see it all go down the
drain because the [leaders] aren’t willing to fight for what we believe… Our
base is demanding we do something or they’re going to leave us,”
said Villare.
