(1) @CoriBush Thank you 4 not committing to vote 4 Nancy Pelosi 4 Speaker. Instead, please #ReplacePelosiJan3 #ForceM4ALLVote U & ur Squad mates have the votes 2 block Pelosi 4 multiple ballots until she withdraws then u can negotiate w/others 4: many floor votes including MFA,
(2) GND, monthly survival payments via the ABC ACT, & other priorities; rule changes such as, noPayGo, & requiring automatic floor votes if a specific # of Reps co-sponsor a bill; & Committee spots See:
(3) Is the Risk Worth it? It is 4 #ReplacePelosiJan3 & #ForceM4ALLVote, but not just 4 an MFA vote alone. @lanadell @RamonaMassachi @TiMEoFPoSTiNG @OzbatRisa @ProudSocialist @marwilliamson How it would work is coming up:
(4) How would it work: Redux & again: #ReplacePelosiJan3 #ForceM4ALLVote Sequence is very important. Pelosi blocked 1st; then other candidates emerge, then negotiations happen, then Committee Assignments, rule changes & floor votes happen

(1) #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes. Why? We can't tolerate 2 more yrs of her leadership in the House. She has an awful record & is an incompetent negotiator. Image
(2) #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes. Pelosi led the Democrats to a disastrous defeat in 2010 after failing to pass MFA then. In 2020, she led Ds to lose 10 seats in the House & set them up 4 a disaster in2022.
(3) #ReplacePelosiJan3 & negotiate w/other Speaker candidates 2 THEN #ForceTheVote + get more changes. Pelosi is a fiscal disaster imposing paygo on the Dem Party for yrs & stopping progressive legislation requiring deficit spending. She is a fiscal hawk down with austerity. Image

(1) Please join myself & others for a Tweet Storm Today anytime between 4pm & 5pm ET. Hashtags will be #ReplacePelosiJan3 #ForceM4ALLVote (please don't use the hashtags until 4pm ET today).
(2) The initial goal is to put pressure on the Squad to vote for persons other than Nancy Pelosi & Kevin McCarthy for Speaker until she withdraws from the Speaker race due to inability to get a majority of votes cast.
(3) At that point, other Democrats will enter the race & whoever wins will need to do so with the support of the Squad & other Democratic factions. So, the Squad & other D factions will have an opportunity to negotiate deals with Speaker candidates.
