Giving thanks to a brave congresswoman whose life is now in danger

When the new Congress is sworn in next year, Michele Bachmann will no longer be serving. And it will be a major loss to America.  Bachmann has been a rare and nearly lone voice sounding the alarm about the threat of Islam and about government infiltration by the Muslim Brotherhood.  And for speaking the sobering truth, she has been mocked, ridiculed, dismissed, and/or ignored. Not just by those on the left, but by those on the right, as well.  In honor of Congresswoman Bachmann, I’ve selected a few interviews and articles that highlight her courageous voice.

Obama’s efforts to woo independents derailed by debt-ceiling agreement

THE HILL, 8/24/2011 by Ian Swanson - The unpopular debt-ceiling deal has significantly hampered President Obama’s effort to win over independent voters. ✧ Since Democrats were thumped in the 2010 midterm elections, Obama repeatedly has sought to burnish his reputation with independents, often at the sake of his Democratic base. ✧ Yet a Gallup poll this week found Obama trailing not only the two leading GOP candidates — former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry — among independent voters, but long-shot candidate Rep. Ron Paul (Texas) as well. The poll found that Obama leads Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), but only by a 6-point margin, 48 percent to 42 percent. Read more at The Hill... Read More......

Reps Bachmann & King: Obamacare threatens U.S. future

POLITICO, 3/19/2010 by Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-WI) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) - "Liberals have long dreamed of putting the government in charge of America’s health insurance industry. Each time they tried, the American people have stood up and rejected a government takeover of health care. ∴ This is different. The stakes are higher and government-run health care advocates are more united than ever before. They believe their political future depends on this bill’s passage." Read the full op-ed at Politico.

[... p.2] "We can take this country on a path where entrepreneurship and investment flourish; where market-driven health care will provide more coverage to more Americans at a lower cost, and where new jobs that pay well are created by the private sector. ∴ Or we can follow the path of more government that gives Washington more control over our lives. Obamacare is just the first step down this road. ∴ As you read this, the fate of Obamacare hangs in the balance. We must do all we can to kill this bill in the next two days. ∴ Keep those calls to Congress coming, and do all you can to stop this monstrosity. The future of America depends on what we can do in the next 48 hours to kill this bill."
