If You Could Stop Paul Ryan From Becoming Speaker, Would You? You Can. This Is What You Need To Do.

Most of us had high hope that ‘someone’ within the beltway was finally standing up to the “Establishment” in the Republican party. We cheered as Boehner resigned. We breathed a sigh of relief as Kevin McCarthy stepped away from the heir-apparent position, and we snickered as the “Establishment” scrambled to maintain a power hold in congress. It looked like the well had been poisoned and no one wanted to take the helm. And then . . . Paul Ryan stepped up, feigning aversion to the chair. I don’t know what happened, but I sure would like to know how someone goes from running away from the job to making demands, and then getting a majority of the most conservative elected in DC to support him. I mean, come on! The guy is an “Establishment” lackey. He’ll raise taxes and put revolving doors at the border. Really folks? Is this what you want? We might as well ask Boehner to come back.

If you want to make changes in DC and reduce the power traditionally held by the Speaker of the House, you’re gonna have to do it yourself. You can’t depend on any who are elected to do it for you. So here’s what you do. It’s as easy as dialing your phone or sending an email or even a tweet. I’ve laid it all out for you below.

Melt the phone lines to Washington DC’s switchboards. Send an email. The addys are listed below for you to copy and paste in your address lines. If you have never contacted the privileged inside the beltway before, it’s doubly important for you to make an effort today. One call and/or one email is all it will take to send a message and make your voice heard.
