Michele Bachmann Formally Enters The Race For President In 2012

In November 2009, this blog was established with the purpose of seeking to enlist Michele Bachmann to run for president in 2012.  At the time, very few people dreamed that Michele Bachmann would run or that she would have a prayer of becoming the Republican nominee.  Well, today Michele Bachmann announced that she is formally entering the race for the presidency in 2012.  Not only that, but she is absolutely surging in the polls.  The more America sees of Michele Bachmann the more they seem to like her.  Most of the other Republican presidential contenders have seemed very hesitant to stand up for conservative values, but Michele Bachmann has shown over and over that she is not afraid to take on Barack Obama head on.  When the liberal media attacks her viciously it just seems to make her stronger.  It is going to take someone with a strong spine to defeat Barack Obama in 2012, and that is exactly what Michele Bachmann has.  America is facing some very troubled times right now, and it is going to take a strong leader to turn this country back in a positive direction.

The following is video of the speech that Michele Bachmann gave in Iowa to announce that she is formally entering the race for president.  As you can see, she is full of energy and she is ready to give everything she has to win in 2012....

12 Reasons Why America Needs Michele Bachmann To Run For President In 2012

There are many Republicans lining up to fight for their party's presidential nomination in 2012. But all of them have huge problems and very few of them are true conservatives. As we have seen during the Tea Party gatherings and the town hall protests, Americans are sick and tired of "fake conservatives" and of politicians who promise one thing and do another. They want someone who is genuine and who speaks from the heart. That is what they will get from Michele Bachmann. The following are 12 reasons why American needs Michele Bachmann to run for president in 2012.....

#1) Abortion - As a former foster-mother for 23 children, Michele Bachmann understands that each and every child is precious. During her brief tenure in the U.S. Congress, she has been one of the few members to actually try to honestly fight for the rights of the unborn. A lot of Republicans give lip service to the issue of abortion, but once they are in office they do absolutely nothing about it. The truth is that the United States of America is NOT going to survive if we keep killing approximately a million unborn children each year. Michele Bachmann would be the most pro-life president the U.S. has had ever since Roe v. Wade was decided.

#2) Health Care - The socialist "health care reform" bill being rushed through Congress is one of the worst pieces of legislation that America has ever seen. Michele Bachmann has been viciously attacked for fighting against it, but she has not backed down. In fact, she has shown extreme courage by battling to stop a bill that would virtually destroy the health care system in the United States. The truth is that the bill is so bad that one poll revealed that 45 percent of America's doctors would consider shutting down their practices or retiring if Obama's plan is ultimately adopted. As demonstrated by the townhall protests this past summer, the American people do not want this horrific health care bill to pass. Michele Bachmann is fighting really hard to keep that from happening.

#3) Carbon Taxes And The Global Warming Fraud - Tens of millions of Americans blindly follow Al Gore, the "eco-prophet" who is trying to "save the environment" by viciously attacking carbon dioxide. Michele Bachmann is one of the few members of Congress who are willing to stand up and tell the truth that carbon dioxide is one of the fundamental building blocks of life on earth and that it is NOT causing global warming.

#4) Auditing The Federal Reserve - Michele Bachmann has bravely joined Ron Paul's call to audit the Federal Reserve. Did you know that the Federal Reserve has never been the subject of a true comprehensive audit ever since it was created in the early part of the last century? The reality is that the people of the United States have a right to know what is going on over at the privately owned central bank that has almost complete control over U.S. currency and banking. The Federal Reserve played a massive role in creating the horrific economic crisis that the U.S. is currently experiencing, and the reality is that right now the Federal Reserve has very little accountability to the U.S. Congress or to anyone else for that matter. Michele Bachmann wants to change that.

#5) Global Currency - Michele Bachmann is fundamentally against the move towards the creation of a global reserve currency. In fact, she has introduced legislation to protect the status of the U.S. dollar. The reality is that globalism has gotten totally out of control, but both Democrat and Republican leaders have been recklessly pushing increased globalism for decades. It is about time that we had a president that is willing to stand up against globalism and willing to stand up against a global currency.

#6) Wall Street Bailouts - Michele Bachmann was one of the most outspoken opponents of the Wall Street bailouts. Why should countless billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars go to Wall Street elitists who made some big mistakes? The Wall Street bankers certainly are not interested in bailing out those who are losing their homes or their jobs. In fact, the Wall Street bankers are hoarding the cash they received in the bailouts and have decreased lending instead of increasing it. The truth is that the bailouts that both John McCain and Barack Obama supported were absolute madness. Michele Bachmann has been fighting these bailouts, and that is one reason why the Tea Party crowd loves her so much.

#7) Taxing And Spending - It is simply not possible to tax and spend a nation into prosperity. In July 2009, the budget deficit of the U.S. federal government topped $1 trillion for the first time ever. The nation’s debt is expanding so rapidly that it almost seems impossible to keep track of it. Meanwhile, unemployment numbers and foreclosures are headed for the stratosphere. The U.S. economy is dying, and the big government policies of both the Republicans and the Democrats are responsible. Now the Democrats want to raise taxes on an American people that is already being taxed to death. America desperately needs a fiscally responsible leader like Michele Bachmann in the White House.

#8) Israel - The anti-Israel policies of Barack Obama could end up being completely disastrous for the United States. The U.S. needs a president that understands that Israel is a great friend and ally.

#9) Gay Marriage - Michele Bachmann supports both a federal and a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and any legal equivalents. This is very refreshing at a time when even many Republican lawmakers are coming out in favor of gay marriage.

#10) Energy Policy - The United States does not have to be dependent on oil from the Middle East. There are great untapped reserves in the mountain West, ANWR and in the outer-continental shelf. Michele Bachmann has introduced four pieces of legislation to free up those energy reserves and to promote alternative forms of energy.

#11) Socialism - After the recent government takeovers of General Motors, Chrysler and other once prominent corporations, there is little use denying that we are quickly becoming a socialist nation. Michele Bachmann was one of the few members of Congress who were willing to tell it like it is when Obama was making these moves. Her speech on "gangster government" has become a classic. Michele Bachmann would fight to reverse the march towards socialism and would work to get America back on the path of capitalism and free enterprise where we belong.

#12) Leadership - The conservative movement in the United States desperately needs a true leader right now, and Michele Bachmann can provide the kind of inspirational leadership that most other Republican politicians simply cannot. One recent example of Michele's leadership was a massive grassroots conservative rally organized by Michele on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to protest the health care reform bill that drew 10,000 to 20,000 participants – far more than the 2,000 originally predicted.

Conservatives are inspired by Michele Bachmann. They respond to her leadership. The truth is that the Republicans have not had a true inspirational conservative leader in the White House since Ronald Reagan. It is about time they had another.

Michele Bachmann Is Fighting Against The Health Care Reform Bill Being Pushed By Barack Obama And Nancy Pelosi

As the Democrats attempt to cram socialized health care down the throats of the American people, a few brave members of Congress like Michele Bachmann are fighting like crazy to keep it from passing. The truth is that the nearly 2000 page health care reform bill will decimate the health care system in the United States to such an extent that it may never be able to be fully repaired again. The bill is filled with nightmare after nightmare. In the video below, Michele Bachmann breaks down the health care bill and tells Sean Hannity why it is absolutely vital that this nonsense does NOT become law.....

Michele Bachmann Supports An Honest Audit Of The Federal Reserve

Did you know that the Federal Reserve has never been the subject of a true comprehensive audit ever since it was created? The truth is that the American people have a right to know what is going on over at the privately owned central bank that has complete control over U.S. currency and banking. The Federal Reserve played a huge role in creating the gigantic economic crisis that we are currently experiencing, and the reality is that right now they have very little accountability to the U.S. Congress or anyone else for that matter. Thank goodness that we have members of the U.S. Congress such as Michele Bachmann that are willing to stand up to the Federal Reserve bankers.....

Thank goodness we still have a few members of Congress who are willing to fight against the murder of the unborn.....

Michele Bachmann Explains Why It Is Not Possible To Tax And Spend Our Way To Recovery

Can we tax and spend our way to recovery? That is the question that Michele Bachmann answers on Fox News in the video posted below. The truth is that taxing and spending and bailing out Wall Street may help in the short term, but in the long term measures such as those always make things worse. The U.S. economy is still a total mess, and we need more straight talkers like Michele Bachmann in the U.S. Congress.....

Michele Bachmann Tells CNN Why We Should Drill In Alaska

In the video posted below, you will see Michele Bachmann explaining to CNN why we should be drilling for oil in Alaska's vast untapped oil fields. Instead, most Democrats seem absolutely determined to keep us totally dependent on foreign oil. The truth is that there is enough oil in Alaska and in other areas of the northwestern United States that the U.S. could reduce its dependence on foreign oil to virtually nothing. But will the American people ever learn the truth? Let us hope that Michele has many more television appearances such as this.....

Michele Bachmann: We Have Gangster Government

In the video posted below, you will see an excerpt from Michele Bachmann's famous "gangster government" speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. The truth is that the way the government handled the takeover of General Motors (now jokingly called Government Motors) and the closing of car dealerships around the nation was truly criminal. This is just one reason why we need to clean out Congress and bring in more patriotic citizens like Michele Bachmann.....

Who Is Michele Bachmann?

If you are new to this site, you might be asking yourself this question:

Who in the world is Michele Bachmann?

Well, we are glad that you asked.

Michele Bachmann was the very first Republican woman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Minnesota in 2006. She represents Minnesota's 6th congressional district which includes the far northern suburbs of the Twin Cities along with St. Cloud. In 2008, Michele was re-elected by defeating her Democratic and Independence Party endorsed opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg by a margin of 46.41% to 43.43%.

Michele has been one of the strongest voices in the U.S. Congress for fiscal responsibility. She has fought hard against the bailouts and ballooning government programs as Barack Obama and the Democrats seemingly try to spend the U.S. into economic oblivion. In addition, Michele has been one of the primary opponents of "Obamacare" and is doing all she can to try to keep the "health care reform" bill from becoming law.

Recently, a massive grassroots conservative rally organized by Michele Bachmann on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to protest the health care reform bill drew somewhere between 10,000 to 20,000 participants – far more than the 2,000 originally predicted.

The Truth is that Michele is quickly becoming a darling of the Tea Party crowd.

Why?

Because unlike most politicians she tells the truth. She speaks her mind and she speaks with common sense.

There are very few true conservatives anymore in Congress, but Bachmann is one of them and she is not afraid to speak out against America's march towards socialism. In encouraging her supporters to gather for the health care rally, she instructed them to be ready for constructive action.....

"Go into the Capitol and find members of Congress. Don't bring your pitchforks," Michele told her supporters, "bring your video cameras. And get them on record saying how they're going to vote and why."

At a very energetic 53 years of age, Bachmann is bringing life to a conservative movement that is looking for real leaders. Most Republicans will espouse empty conservative rhetoric if it will help them get elected, but then they never act very conservative once they get to Washington.

Michele Bachmann is different. Michele Bachmann is the real deal. That is why America needs Michele Bachmann to run for president in 2012.

The truth is that she has lived a really extraordinary life. The following information on her life before coming to Congress comes from her official website.....

Prior to serving in the U.S. Congress, Bachmann served in the Minnesota State Senate. She was elected to the Minnesota State Senate in 2000 where she championed the Taxpayers Bill of Rights. And, prior to that, Bachmann spent five years as a federal tax litigation attorney, working on hundreds of civil and criminal cases. That experience solidified Bachmann’s strong support for efforts to simplify the Tax Code and reduce tax burdens on family and small business budgets.

Congresswoman Bachmann is a graduate of Anoka High School and Winona State University. After earning her law degree, she went on to the College of William and Mary to get an LLM in tax law. Bachmann and her husband, Marcus, live in Stillwater where they own a small business mental health care practice that employs 42 people. The Bachmanns have five children, Lucas, Harrison, Elisa, Caroline, and Sophia. In addition, the Bachmanns have opened their home to 23 foster children, which has inspired Congresswoman Bachmann to become one of Congress’ leading advocates for foster and adopted children. She was recently honored with an appointment to the bipartisan Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute’s Advisory Board.

At the top of this blog you will find a link where you can contact Michele and encourage her to run for president in 2012. Of course for now she needs to focus on winning her district once again in 2010, but once she has done that, we are asking all true conservatives to join us in enlisting Michele to take on Barack Obama in 2012.

The truth is that we are currently in one of the most challenging times in America's history right now. But things are often the darkest right before the dawn. We need a real leader that will turn the United States away from socialism and back to the Constitution.

That leader is Michele Bachmann.
