John Boehner Champaign welcoming committee video and photos

Republican House Speaker John Boehner held a fundraiser in Champaign for Congressional candidate Rodney Davis. This would be the same Rodney Davis who frequently talks about the need for bipartisanship.

This would be the same John Boehner who pledged that the stimulus bill wouldn't get a single Republican vote. House Republican leaders adopted an obstructionist strategy during a time of national crisis for political gain, even before Obama introduced the stimulus bill. Shouldn't anyone who cares about bipartisanship distance themselves from a leading partisan obstructionist like Boehner, or at least condemn his actions?

For those who missed it like I did, here's news coverage of the fundraiser and protest.


Two videos of the protests are online. I laughed during the first one at the guy who thought he was going to shoo away the protesters off the sidewalk so easily.






Action Now tweeted a few photos.


The next big campaign event is tonight's 13th Congressional district debate in Springfield. I'll send tweets and blog afterward.
