Good News for Eric Cantor: Paul Ryan has No interest in being Speaker of the House

Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has cleared the way for Eric Cantor (R-Va.) to succeed John Boehner as the next Speaker.

If you want to participate in helping a constitutional conservative win the first GOP primary in the country against an establishment Rino leader. ****This congressional race is being viewed as a referendum on amnesty/immigration on the GOPe leadership!!!**** Visit http://www.katrinaforcongress.com/. Katrina’s primary is only 35 days from now on March 4. Visit Katrina’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/KatrinaForCongress

If we can get 100 people making 100 phone calls/week until March 4, which would equal 10,000 voters contacted/week, it will have a huge impact upon the primary! ***Remember our vets who have paid a much higher price to keep us free than making 100 phone calls!***
