Concerning Ohio
Republicans
Matthew Zisi
John Boehner, though nominally a Republican, has repeatedly
demonstrated as Speaker of the House that he is no different from a
Democrat. Although spending bills originate in the House of
Representatives, Boehner has permitted and even encouraged the funding
of Obamacare and the raising of the debt ceiling, relying on Democrats
to help him carry out the latter. Unfortunately, House
Republicans do not appear set to replace him as Speaker of the House.
As a result, the task falls to you, Ohio Republicans of the Eighth
Congressional District, to remove Boehner from his position during the
Republican primary on May 6. The best candidate to defeat Boehner
is J.D. Winteregg of Troy. Winteregg, who has spent almost all of
his life in Ohio, has decided to run in this race specifically because
of his concern over Boehner’s actions. Winteregg, who is a
Christian, a conservative, and a Tea Party supporter, strives to make
representatives more accountable to their constituents while supporting
tax cuts, less government intervention in the private sector, and
stricter protection of our borders, among other constitutional
ideals. Eric Gurr and Matthew Ashworth are also running, but Gurr
has supported deficit spending and identified himself as a Reform Party
supporter in the past, and Ashworth seems unlikely to garner the
necessary support to defeat Boehner. Remember, Boehner can only
be defeated if the opposition votes are concentrated on one candidate,
so vote Winteregg and fire Boehner on May 6!
Sincerely,
Matthew Zisi
