JOHN,
Despite being a dyed-in-the-wool grassroots Republican who could win a popularity contest, the swamp sunk Jim Jordan’s shot at becoming speaker of the House.
Why? Because they’re desperate to prove they know better.
Let me be clear: Those of us who voted for much-needed change are ready to roll up our sleeves and get back to the dadgum work we were sent here to do, but the swamp monsters want to throw a wrench in the process to make us pay.
Knowing this, we willingly put ourselves on the offering table last week in an attempt to move the needle. But I want to make one thing known…
The eight of us who stood up for what’s right didn’t break anything. How do you wreck something that’s $33 trillion in debt? All this drama is a tiny blip on the radar if our entire financial system collapses due to reckless spending. I would dare say no one in leadership was focused on that—and that is why we’re in this situation.
While we stand by our decision, I want to make it known that this is not about us—and it never was. The actions we took were to change Washington for the better. Electing a speaker who can get our fiscal insanity in order should be the top priority.
When all is said and done, we need someone who isn’t a part of the Washington machine, JOHN. Do you stand by me on this?
We’re gearing up for another vote, and there are nine highly capable folks in the running. No matter what happens, my commitment to conservative values is still rock-solid. I’m a proud Republican, and I’ll keep fighting for what’s best for our country.
Sincerely,
Tim Burchett
