The Honorable John Boehner Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Jim Jordan Chairman of the House Republican Study Committee Washington, DC 20515 Dear Mr. Speaker and Chairman Jordan: As patriots, conservatives and grassroots tea party leaders from across America, we urge you as Republican leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives to oppose the manager's amendment to HR 1249. HR 1249 is unconstitutional; it will harm small business and innovation; and it will destroy jobs. Thank you for standing up for the principles that you were elected to uphold. Sincerely,
