Rep.
Marlin Stutzman (R-IN)83% should be on this list, but at the last
minute it appears House Republican Leaders lied to him to get him to
switch his vote. So I cannot include him.
But here are the House Republicans who stood up to their House
Republican Leaders. I hope you will consider calling them to thank
them. You can call the Capitol Hill switchboard and ask for their
offices at (202) 224-3121.
The members are:
- Congressman Amash of Michigan
- Congresswoman Bachmann of Minnesota
- Congressman Brat of Virgina
- Congressman Brooks of Alabama
- Congressman Broun of Georgia
- Congressman Gohmert of TExas
- Congressman Gosar of Arizona
- Congressman Huelskamp of Kansas
- Congressman Jones of North Carolina
- Congressman Jordan of Ohio
- Congressman King of Iowa
- Congressman Labrador of Idaho
- Congressman Massie of Kentucky
- Congressman Posey of Florida
- Congressman Salmon of Arizona
- Congressman Stockman of Texas
Friends, they have come under withering attacks from their own leaders
for their defiant, heroic act. And their act forced the spotlight onto
the sham of a bill, which now is in shambles. They may not have had
enough votes to kill the rule, but they made it so close they caused
the legislation to crumble.
House leaders are now in chaos.
Call them at (202) 224-3121 and tell them thank you. They need to hear
thanks. They need to know they are appreciated.
THE 16
""I heard about the promise from several sources, and Stutzman wasn't the only one to whom it was made. He was just the only one who bought it," said one highly-connected Capitol Hill source."
ReplyDeleteso there's that...
Also didn't Tom McClintock [R-CA] vote "Hell No"?
Rodger, that ball and chain on the eagle's leg should have Obozo's picture on the ball.

That's a pathetic few given the Tea party landslide of 2010 that gave Boner the Speakership. I'm happy to report that none of these sweet 16 voted for the bill either.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to note that the additional 29 Repub reps that voted against the bill voted ,for the rule that moved the bill to the floor.
If just one of them voted against the rule, the bill would not have left committee without revisions.
I wonder if they did a head count before their vote on the bill to be sure it was a safe, IOW, a "just pretend I'm a conservative" vote?
They are not conservatives nor are they heroes as they might have us think. Something really stinks, and it ain't fish or just Boehner.
