If Boehner remains speaker …

It's understandable that Republican voters are discouraged by the decision of the GOP House to maintain a business-as-usual approach to governance by returning John Boehner to the all-important speaker of the House position.

Without a doubt, House Republicans squandered their mandate in the 2014 midterm election when they cowardly rejected new leadership and an opportunity to return constitutionally limited government to Washington.

Not only did Boehner fund Obamacare and Barack Obama's illegal executive amnesty initiative immediately following the election, but his actions over the course of the next year are predictable based on past behavior.

So let's look at what's coming up on Capitol Hill in 2015:

• Feb. 2: Obama is required by law to submit a budget proposal to Congress. But the law doesn't mean much to Obama. He considers himself above the law. Throughout his two terms, he has repeatedly missed the deadline. Too many vacations. Too much golf. Too much fundraising. Too much lecturing to the American people about how they should live. Last year's budget plan came a month late. The previous two budgets were submitted two months late. Having slashed defense spending throughout his administration, Obama officials now say a correction is necessary. They warn that the 2016 budget will bust the cap set by the Budget Control Act of 2011. If Congress doesn't raise or remove that cap, it sets up another government shutdown scenario and triggers across-the-board spending cuts. So what will Boehner do? Based on previous patterns, he will push to raise or remove the cap. Business as usual. He will give Obama all the rope he needs to continue strangling America.
• Feb. 27: Department of Homeland Security funding runs out. This will place Boehner and the Republicans in another damned-if-they-do-damned-if-they-don't scenario. Do they bust the budget again and provide Obama with big increases in spending for what he will claim are cyber-security and counter-terrorism initiatives? Or will they hold the line and redirect Obama to set better priorities with existing funding? Easy. Under Boehner's leadership, the Republicans will capitulate to Obama's demands and give him all the borrowed cash he needs to close out his two terms in office.
• March 15: This is the date Congress will need to deal with the debt limit. In Boehner's biggest capitulation since becoming speaker, he gave Obama until this date to borrow and spend without approval of Congress. In other words, he abdicated Congress' responsibility to set spending limits. What will he do next? Will he suddenly say "enough is enough"? Will he realize borrowing and spending is unsustainable and that Congress plays the principle role in discipline? Of course not. He will do what he has consistently done since January 2011 – wave the white flag of political surrender to Obama and give him all the spending power he needs to continue his war on constitutionally limited government.
• Sept. 30: Here we go again. This is the date by which Congress must pass funding legislation or the government will shut down. Having been outplayed politically in these battles for years, do you really think John Boehner will do anything differently this time?

TRENDING: Republicans move to replace GOP canvasser who voted to certify Biden win

There's only one answer to business-as-usual politics in Washington. It's the "Don't Be Yellow: Dump Boehner Now!" campaign.

The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way. Republicans could have a good story to tell voters in 2016. But it will require new leadership in the House – and, most likely, the Senate, too.

Can that be accomplished after the shameful, cowardly decision by House Republicans to return Boehner to leadership and to keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results?

It can if Americans remain in battle mode with the Republican establishment. It only takes a simple majority of the House to remove Boehner from leadership. The revolt in the House this week surprised most observers. If dozens of Democrats didn't skip the proceedings, Boehner would have been denied the speakership on the first vote. After that, many other Republicans were expected to join the rebellion.

How can voters continue to make their voices heard?

As you read this column, more than 560,000 letters demanding Boehner's ouster will have either been delivered to House Republicans or be on their way. Imagine if this very recent campaign can be extended effectively for months. It would mean millions of letters pouring into the offices of House Republicans every single day demanding one thing – a change of leadership.

I'm very proud of all those who took part in this campaign so far. I'm very thankful to them. They are on the front lines of a battle to save America from a looming catastrophe. While Republicans in Washington may consider these letters annoying and embarrassing, they actually represent the vast majority of Republicans across the country, according to recent polls. They also represent the best hope for the Republican Party remaining a viable alternative – even a winning alternative – to the bankrupt, Big Government Democrats.

Are you willing to do battle? Are you committed to keeping up the fight? Or will you reward John Boehner's fecklessness and ineptitude by dropping out and surrendering to the GOP establishment? It's time to join the "Dump Boehner Now!" campaign – and spread the word.
