There has been a lot going on this week and
there will continue to be new developments over the next week as we lead into the House Leadership elections on Thursday, October 8th.
The next
several days are going to require a lot of grassroots pressure to ensure
that we get a Speaker of the House and Leadership team that are more
conservative than the team led by John Boehner. Please do all that you
can to make calls and put pressure on your Representatives and other
conservatives in the House. They are going to be under immense pressure
from the establishment and lobbyists over the next week to convince them
to
support a status quo candidate. We've included a lot in this week's
update and we'll continue to give you updates as things progress.

Kevin McCarthy would be John Boehner 2.0
Marjority Leader Kevin McCarthy has already hit a snag in his quest to become the next Speaker of the House. On Tuesday night he appeared on Hannity and insinuated that the Benghazi panel was a political move to weaken Hillary Clinton. It's disgraceful that he would make that insinuation. He has since tried to back off of that, but there was even more from the interview to be concerned about. Read More>
Following John Boehner's resignation as Speaker of the House, calls for Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell to follow his lead are growing. This week, a top RNC official called on McConnell to step down!
