LibFreeUSA suggested this on the thread linked below, but didn't see one in my search.
Starting a thread to keep a running total of those Republicans that have publically stated that they will not vote for Boehner for Speaker.
I hear many more members are working on statements to oppose Boehner as we speak...[and Stutzman]

The new congress hasn't even started and Boehner has already stabbed the American people in the back. They sent a clear message last election. He ignores it. He needs to go.
I haven’t seen anything that Massie was going to run, just the thread Jim posted that stated Massie was going to vote against Boehner:

188 Democrats will vote for Boehner if necessary.
Save your energy.
I had had none and am typing with fat thumbs lol
Agree - I just called my Reps office in DC (too early here to call the local office) and was very pleasant but said I’ve supported him but if he votes for Boehner, I may not in the future, etc., etc. about Boehner and it isn’t just me and referred him to Boehner’s facebook page for comments if he wanted to know what many across the country thought. Told him I wanted the Rep to vote for Rep Gohmert, who I think would make a fabulous Speaker.
Also called Rep Gohmert’s DC office and said I supported him and he had a lot of support across the country (suggested that if he hadn’t done so yet, he may want to check out FR). Told him I hope he knew he worked for a fabulous man.
I was a little surprised I got through to a live person at both DC offices.
I sent mine an email and called.
If he wants to earn back his conservative credentials, he needs to endorse Louie. If Yoho gets elected, it will be business as usual. Backroom deals that hurt conservatives will be made.
Boehner has got to be replaced as Speaker!
Agree. Before we have a list on those that supported Boehner, let’s work on a list that will NOT support him. I don’t know much about Yoho (just a little I’ve read about him on FR), but I applaud him for challenging Boehner, but I would LOVE to see Rep Gohmert be Speaker (have been saying that for some months).
Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121
Tell your Rep. Not to vote for Boehner
Light up the phone lines!!
Interesting that you’re the only call he’s received, but it’s only a little after 10 now in DC. Perhaps (hopefully) others are sending email and/or will call later or soon.
For those that manage state Ping lists, may want to ping them and ask your folks to call/email, etc.
Just called my local RINO, Kevin Brady (R), Montgomery co./ The Woodlands Texas and urged his vote AGAINST speaker Boehner.
Recently, over the last few months particularly just before the Omnibus CR bill that was passed, I urged Kevin Brady to vote against this CR....He voted FOR IT. His aids up in D.C. and the Conroe office openly stated their support for Boehner before this vote. So, I expect Brady will support Boehner as speaker in this new session of congress, but’cha never know. He may come to his senses.
Texans in Kevin Brady’s district...call, write, rinse and repeat and urge him to vote against speaker Boehner.

There are 246 Republicans. That guy from New York who pled guilty to the felony resigned.
Here’s an updated list (Stutzman is supposed to formally come out this a.m. and adding Jones). Total with Stutzman at 9 - only 20 more to go (more than 29 would be great!)
Yoho (FL) - will run for Speaker
Gohmert (TX) - will run for Speaker
Massie (KY)
Steve King (IA)
Gosar (AZ)
Brat (VA)
Bridenstine (OK)
Stuzman (supposed to issue a statement this a.m.)
Walter Jones (NC)
Louie on FNC now
Try the individual offices. I was surprised to get through.

You can do it by name or state.

“Merry Christmas. May you receive a backbone for Christmas.”

You are exactly right, my friend. I clean forgot about him resigning. Has he actually finalized his resignation? If so, that’s even better for our team.
