Standing up to Reasonable Gentlemen yields results

Boehner and his lieutenants are beginning to feel the heat:

The GOP leadership’s plans are beginning to fall apart in the wake of a series of Breitbart News investigative pieces that show Boehner has put his top lieutenants – including Rules Committee chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) and Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) – at serious political risk from potential primary challengers. Breitbart has also reported on how Boehner and his top allies deceived the Republican conference into voting for a new version of a bill from Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) that actually provides extra legal justification for Obama’s executive amnesty, rather than fighting it, as they originally had claimed. 
While the Boehner plan is not dead yet, it is quite clear that extra grassroots pressure in the Capitol is working, as grassroots organizations push members, and as the American people light up the phone lines of their members of Congress.
The linked Breitbart piece by Matthew Boyle enumerates some of the great missionaries out there battling Reasonable Gentleman Syndrome:  Numbers USA, Eagle Forum, Heritage Action, Center for Immigration Studies, Laura Ingraham.

Tireless patriots.  Join them.  It works.
