And what has Bachmann done in the last three years in office? This record shows that the ONLY representation of Minnesota was done in one year -- 2008. Since Bachmann is receving upwards of $200,00 a year from tax dollars, wouldn't it be fair -- since she's portraying herself as a presidential candidate who would take a hard look at superfluous tax spending -- that she at least volunteer to not be paid for the 24/7 time she's spending on her presidential campaign? Taxpayers need to make these representatives aware that they are supposed to be working for US, the taxpayer, and not themselves!

She earmarked a place (Sheriffs Youth Programs) that the same year a 14 yr old girl was raped by a staff member- lets give them more taxpayer money and maybe we can get a third victim form this company in the past two years- Dont believe me google Aaron Almquist SYP Isanti-
