John Boehner is not my Speaker.

He is illegitimate. I do not recognize his authority.

Remember this story.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/08/1158861/-Democrats-Win-Popular-Vote-for-House-of-Representatives

Democrats won the popular vote to control the House. We got 53,952,240 votes, the Republicons got 53,402,643.

By all rights, the House should be ours. The only reason it's not is because the House districts have been gerrymandered.

In other words, they cheated to gain control of the House.

Therefore, the Republicans do not have legitimate control of the House, and Boehner is not legitimately our Speaker.

The House is hijacked, and it's time we show the hijacked House all respect that is due to it, which is none.

Any questions?

So. Is John Boehner your Speaker?
