The time has come for us to send John Boehner packing.
The time has come for us to send John Boehner packing. That is why I have come up with the idea for each of us to give $5 to help fund his opposition to oust him. Help fund his democratic opposition, Justin Coussoule, by giving $5 to the Coussoule for Congress Campaign. Please pass this page around far and wide as the more donations raised the more traction and coverage the Coussoule campaign will get.

I hope posting this I am not breaking any rules on here. If so I am sorry. I live in the district next to John Boehner and would like at the very least to see the guy sweat knowing he is facing stiff opposition. I am so sick of the partisan politics we have so I decided to do my part in ousting the lead virus.

2. Personally I believe we need to focus on winning as many districts we already have.
AND in districts where Democrats are in play. I'm not sure that is the case in Boehner's district.

I believe that the 3rd District in Indiana is one of those that has a better chance of success than the Ohio district.

6. I am aware Justin Coussoule has a mountain to climb
but just imagine what the republicans would think if their leader is feeling the heat of a legitimate opposition. They would lose focus on smaller contests to focus in on not losing the party leader. It is not like $5 is going to make or break a campaign but if tens of thousands say were not going to take it then we have a different story. We need compromise to make the Obama administration as great as it could be. And John Boehner has showed time and time again he is just out to do the opposite and to try and embarrass our side. He is the leader and all his little sheep will follow in his direction.

7. Agreed, but . . .
Not many people thought George Nethercutt could oust Speaker Tom Foley, either. I can spare a sawbuck for Boehner's opposition.

3. I don't like anywhere near there, but I'd give him money because he's adorable!
And his positions are far from DINO-esque.
