Why is she wearing a lei? In solidarity to the one state which can opt out?
No, I believe she was wearing the lei in honor of the couple who came all the way from Hawaii to protest.
If you had watched the video you would know. The lei was given to her by a couple who flew from Hawaii to the capitol on Thurs. for the demonstration at the Capitol.

Thanks, I couldn’t watch the video.
Agreed. She ran for congress for the right reason and is there to do her job on behalf of her constituents and the American people. Thank you Mrs. Bachmann! We owe you, big time.
Awesome, indeed.
“Mr. Speaker, the American people overwhelmingly reject the government takeover of our health care. Last Friday, a couple from Hawaii decided the time was so short they needed to get on a plane, come to Washington to beg their representative to vote no...from Hawaii!
What sacrifices freedom loving Americans are making to get their government’s attention - and how big our government has gotten. They brought me this beautiful, precious lei, and I’m reminded that the One who created this lei also created our freedom.
Are we so insensible to the high cost our forebears paid to purchase our freedom - tonight would we foolishly bargain those freedoms away? The American people, our forebears, generations yet unborn are crying out to us tonight for us to preserve their freedoms.
Vote no on the government takeover of health care.”
