House Minority Leader Boehner On How To Right The GOP Ship
Granted, there is a lot to be fixed. But, this is one of the ways to make an immediate impact. I guess a lot of Conservative Republicans need to sit down and figure out if it can be fixed or abandon ship.
House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) challenged House Republicans to make a few sacrifices in the next year that will help the GOP sell their agenda to voters in the fall elections.
The Republican leader is scheduled to lead his members in a broad, potentially rancorous debate over lawmaker-requested projects Friday during their annual retreat here.
The reform proposals include a one-year moratorium on earmarks for all Republicans, the creation of a special panel to review the process, including the abuses that have occurred, and a litany of smaller guidelines to curtail wasteful earmarks or member-requested projects that benefit campaign contributors or other private entities.
