Senate Conservatives Fund: Boehner must be replaced!

The Senate Conservatives fund is targeting Boehner’s speakership, trying to get at least 15 people to vote against Boehner next time around which would keep him from getting the speakership again:

THE HILL – The Senate Conservatives Fund is calling on House Republicans to force out House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), taking aim at Boehner’s support of a clean debt ceiling hike.

“John Boehner must be replaced as Speaker of the House,” the group says in an email to supporters.

The group is rallying supporters to the website replacethespeaker.com, looking to pressure House Republicans to vote against Boehner next January. Its goal is to get 15 House Republicans to support the cause, which if there’s no change in the balance of the House would leave Boehner short of the 218 votes he needs for another term as Speaker.

“Conservatives helped John Boehner become Speaker, but he has ignored us and helped President Obama enact his liberal agenda,” the website says. “Instead of using the House majority to stop bad legislation, Speaker Boehner has used it to increase spending, raise the debt limit, increase taxes, pass a bloated farm bill, and fund the implementation of Obamacare. Instead of fighting for conservative principles, Speaker Boehner has repeatedly surrendered to the Democrats.”
