Today, October 17th, is the day we elect Jim Jordan as Speaker
And if we don’t, then we primary the RINOs that thwart the will of their voters

Watch the live vote on the House floor below.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that eight RINOs are holding out on voting for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). Because of this, Conservatives across the United States are rallying behind Jim Jordan by flooding their congressmen with THOUSANDS of calls. A resurgence of citizen activism is making waves on Capitol Hill, and these eight RINOs are right in the crosshairs. Keep blowing up the phones!
The establishment is stonewalling Jim Jordan, “hoping conservatives will move backward to Kevin McCarthy,” said Rep. Matt Gaetz in a recent interview.
20 Turncoat GOP House members voted against Jordan on the first ballot:
- Don Bacon – Nebraska’s 2nd District

Radio show legend Glenn Beck lit these RINOs up this morning on his show, calling on voters to increase the pressure on Republican lawmakers even more:
Beck: Stop being in third grade. I don’t care if you’d like somebody or not, I really don’t. I don’t care if you like them. You’re not going to go through life liking everybody, and stop thinking it’s third grade and “well, I’m not going to give you my vote… eh ne nah neh.” Good heavens, grow up! The country is at stake. I want you to call your congressman today, this morning. They vote at noon Eastern time. I want you to call your congressman and say, “What the hell are you doing? If you lose the house, if you compromise and give us some pantie-ass whoosie who’s in bed with the Democrats, you’re done. And I will take every dollar I have to fund competitors against you. I will campaign, I’ll make signs, I’ll put them in the yard. I will campaign against you. I will not forget!” That’s what I would say. But I would say it with a much more reasonable tone, but make sure they understand, you’re done with me. And I and my friends will campaign against you. You vote for Jim Jordan today. Vote for Jim Jordan. Otherwise, what’s your plan? The Democrats?
