It’s a constitutional crisis.

John,

 

Republicans are still casting for the role of House Speaker, and the options are laughable – or they would be if this weren’t so serious.


Of the NINE new extremist hopefuls, all but two voted against certifying the 2020 election results on January 6, making them no better than Jim Jordan.

 

By the time this goes out, one of those nine will be named the nominee. But this legislative chamber-turned-circus is a disaster for Republicans and the country no matter who they pick. 

 

I would even argue it’s a constitutional crisis.

 

When Republicans retook the House, they promised they’d be the party to get things done. But they’ve accomplished nothing with their power, besides blocking every meaningful piece of legislation and fighting over who should lead them. 

 

Now they’ve succeeded in blocking Congress altogether. Without a Speaker, the House can’t pass any legislation, John.

 

We narrowly avoided a full government shutdown, and Republicans shut down one of our three branches of government instead.

 

The next shutdown deadline is just 24 days away, and there’s nothing Democrats can do to begin negotiations or pass a resolution.

 

If the House circus has proven anything, it’s that the Speaker isn’t the problem; Republicans are. The party is too fractured to have this much control over our fragile democracy. 

 

That’s why we HAVE to flip ID-02 next year. Republicans need to learn that Idaho won’t be held hostage, and that holding Congress hostage is a losing strategy – even in GOP-controlled states.

John, they have spent years driving us into a ditch, and now they can’t even start the car.

 

It’s up to Democrats to take the keys of power from these unqualified, disorganized extremists and get us back on the road to a healthy, functioning government. 

 

If we’d tried harder in past elections, it’s possible Republicans wouldn’t be in power today – in Congress or in the state legislature. 

 

We can’t change the past, but we can secure our future if we act now.

 

Thanks for being with me,

David Roth
         

David Roth is a single, gay dad running for Idaho’s Second Congressional District. We’re going up against a GOP incumbent who has been in this seat for almost 25 years. It’s time for change in Idaho, and our grassroots campaign is building on the momentum that began in David’s race for U.S. Senate last cycle. The GOP is not planning to defend this seat, so we plan to take it from them and help Democrats retake the House majority next year. We’d love your support to build a solid campaign to bring progress to Idaho and the country.
