Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann, one of the most conservative members of Congress and founder of the Congressional Tea Party Caucus, will deliver an alternative response to President Obama’s State of the Union address on Jan. 25th, her office confirmed Friday.

The speech, which will be broadcast online and sponsored by Tea Party Express, a California-based political action committee, will compete with the Republican’s official response by Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, chairman of the House Budget Committee.

Kind of ridiculous to broadcast both Bachmann's and Ryan's speeches at the same time, IMO...

Agree.....I’d like to hear both speeches!

Two response speeches = gay. MB should be delivering the only speech.

It's going to compete in context, not in time slot.

It won't be broadcast at the same time, but after Ryan's speech. SOTU-3
