By WND. Imagine 85,000 letters demanding House Speaker John Boehner be dumped personally addressed to each House Republican including the name of the sender delivered every day when Congress reconvenes in the first week of January.

If they were delivered hourly it would represent 3,542 every 60 minutes.

That’s 59 per minute.

Now, the “Don’t Be Yellow: Dump Boehner Campaign” won’t be delivering those letters every minute or every hour – just daily. But the 425,000 yellow letters generated by the campaign to date were ordered by Americans in response to the call from WND founder Joseph Farah in just five days.

Think about that – 3,542 letters every minute, or, put another way, 59 generated every second since the campaign launched last Tuesday evening. (Read more about the dump Boehner movement HERE)

Boehner Stands by GOP Leader Who spoke to Hate Group

“More than a decade ago, Representative Scalise made an error in judgement, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate,” the Ohio Republican said in a statement. “Like many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, I know Steve to be a man of high integrity and good character.”

Boehner said Scalise, elected in June by his fellow Republicans to be the House majority whip, has his “full confidence” to remain in the leadership job.

Boehner’s statement was the strongest show of support for Scalise, who has been trying to tamp down controversy surrounding his appearance at a 2002 conference of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO), an organization founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. The Southern Poverty Law Center says EURO, which claims to fight for “white civil rights,” is a hate group. (Read more from this story HERE)
