The time has come for a grassroots uprising against Boner. Operation Boehner's Donors begins here. We are looking for people from each Republican held district to serve as a Team Captain, where you will help create a petition at petitiononline.com for your district and drive signatures from local registered Republicans, particularly ones who have donated to your congressman in the past.

We will pledge to withhold all campaign funds to any representative who votes to return Boner to the leadership post.

Please discuss this action here, announce your interest in heading up the campaign in your district, etc.

So does this mean the GOP House leader won’t have to do anything — again? I mean the success of the last election was so stunning in it’s lack of success. Did anyone see the lameo dontgo campaign? If that’s what we have to look forward to ... I say don’t go.

It should be a common-sense rule that if the party loses, all members of the leadership in charge should automatically resign. If no on steps forward to take a vacated position, it can revert to its previous holder.

I lost a great conservative congressman because they refused to dole out campaign money to my congressman. They said he was a lost cause but he ended up losing by 2% in a 4 way race.

Boehner is another anti conservative republican who deserves the beating he’s going to get.

It is official: The Republican Party has become the New York Knicks circa 3 years ago and Boner is Isaiah Thomas.

Correct it doesn't take a whole lot of effort to rollover and lose.

Paul Ryan is supposed to be an up and coming conservative leader. Unfortunately, he voted for the $700 billion bailout that turned out to be a fraud. He believed the liberal lies. This guy has a long way to go before he is leadership material. Also, check his 2nd Amendment record. Moderate at best.

Keep looking. There MUST be a conservative around somewhere.

I’ve already called my critter. He got the message loud and clear. NO MODERATES. We are now the Che Guevara Republicans. Take no prisoners to lunch!

We need Mike Pence to take over the GOP leadership post.
We need grassroots activists to sign up for Operation Boehner’s Doners here.

If you do nothing then you cannot complain about the do-nothings in Washington.

Throw the bums out, especially Boehner.

Calling your Rep is not enough.
We need to organize against Boner, or the GOP will further sink into oblivion, and the country will follow.

Sounds good. Who is Mike Pence? And... why is he qualified?

You nailed it. When I see Beohner, it always looks like he is in a hurry to get to the golf course. He doesn’t seem to be too deep a thinker, or master strategist.

It is time people stopped giving money to the RNC and started giving to the Club For Growth, an excellent organization which primarily challenges RINOs in the primaries:

Ron Paul would be my first choice. Domestically he is second to none, most people agree on that. On Foreign policy people just have to get over that he supports many of the US troops in 130 countries coming home and that US taxpayers would stop providing for all their defense. 'Conservatives' apparently have a hard time stomaching that.

I’m still kicking myself in the pants for giving money to the RNC during the McCain thing. They are nothing but a jobs program for moderate Democrats!

Clean house, go conservative or we start a new party!
