Michelle "crazy eyes" Bachmann holding health care rally the same day as SOTU
Advertisements [?]
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) announced on Glenn Beck's radio show today that she's organizing a rally at the Capitol for Jan. 27, the same day as the State of the Union address.

She invited "patriots" and members of the public to come and sign a petition, which she called a "declaration of health care independence."

Bachmann is calling this rally a "press conference," apparently to avoid breaking House rules about participating in grassroots lobbying. At her last "house call" tea party in November, Bachmann and the House Republicans who joined her did the same thing.

Bachmann said the declaration says "we reject what they want, this centralized government approach, and what we want is no backroom deals, no political favoritism, no doing a bill behind closed doors. You read the thing before you actually vote on it. Some very simple things: don't add to the crushing debt, don't add to the state crushing debt."
