Plan of Action For Grassroot Action in House GOP Leadership?

Okay, echoing off davidfarrar's "Next Step For The Next Right", I'd like to start the ball rolling for action to rearrange the House GOP leadership. I don't mind John Boehner, and I think he was strong during the bailout pandemonium, but I want to push for someone a little more charismatic and media savvy, someone who's a thinking conservative with fresh ideas, especially on healthcare. I think we'd all agree that healthcare is going to be a big battle in the next few years.

So, to the sausage-making details:

-- Do we know when/if the House GOP will vote on their next set of leadership?

-- Can we pressure them into reorganizing, and is there a way to a get a representative-by-representative count of their votes in the case of said election?

-- Any ideas for who we could push?

My first vote would be for John Shadegg, my second for Mike Pence.

...especially since you are echoing off me and my "Next Step For The Next Right". Unfortunately, I have little experience in the voting records of  GOP House Representatives. But I would not recommend any Republican House members for the GOP leadership position who voted in support of the Wall Street bailout. I assume neither Rep. Shadegg, nor Rep. Pence did so and I would move to support either.

I would also like to point out that seven (7) GOP Georgian House Representatives also had the intellectual integrity to vote against the Wall Street bailout both times. They are :

  1. Rep.  Paul Broun            (R GA 10th District)       

 2. Rep. Nathan Deal            (R-GA 9th District)          

3. Rep. Phil Gingrey              (R-GA 11th District)        

4. Rep. Rep. Jack Kingston  (R-GA 1st District)           

 5. Rep. John Linder               (R-GA 7th District)         

6. Rep. Tom Price                  (R-GA 6th District)          

7.Rep. Lynn Westmoreland  (R-GA 3rd District)            

Take your pick, or allow me to nominate my own Georgia House Represenative from Dist: 11: Rep. Phil Gingrey  to the post.
