Bachmann to join forces with conservatives, celebrities at 'Troopathon' GOP presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (Minn.) will join a hodgepodge of conservative activists and celebrities at a pro-troop event in California this Thursday, according to organizers. The event is titled "Troopathon" and is billed as an effort to raise money for and send care packages to American troops overseas. The gathering is organized by the right-leaning group Move America Forward, which has ties to the Tea Party Express. Bachmann, a Tea Party favorite, is continuing her travel following her announcement that she would run for president at last week's Republican primary debate in New Hampshire. She spoke at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans and the RightOnline conference in Minneapolis this past weekend. Former President George H.W. Bush, a World War II veteran, is expected to attend the event alongside a number of conservative commentators including Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Andrew Breitbart and Laura Ingraham. Right-leaning Hollywood actors Kelsey Grammar and Gary Sinise are expected to be there as well as Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. The event will be held at Richard Nixon's presidential library in Yorba Linda, Calif.

Awesome post. Thank you.
I hope it has a lot of success.
Lots of good folks there. I wish it a big success.
I watched online last year. It was a good show for a great cause.
“hodgepodge”
“right-leaning” (twice)
No bias here. Just when will we EVER hear “left leaning” or “extreme left”?
“Bachmann, a Tea Party favorite, is continuing her travel....”
For MY money, since the Ed Rollins attacks, it should read: Bachmann, a FORMER Tea Party favorite, is continuing her travel....
If she’ll backstab Sarah, she’ll turn on, and backstab the voters...in a heartbeat!
This post is about the troops. Give it a rest and look at the attendees. Great list of people. My Tea party loves Bachmann. They also like Palin.
Hooooaahh to the troops! May God bless and protect them.
But that does NOT change my suspicions re MB!
Rollins has been sternly admonished for his comments by
Michele, personally.
See post #8.
Free Republic is beginning to look like an emotional mud fight anymore. What’s happened to critical thinking! Instead too many are jumping the gun on every thing...or indeed the trolls are alive and well here.
Looks good to me too! Great event....good for our troops!
I hear ya....and have found I’m using my scroll bar far more often than not of recent!
I really like Bachman and Palin, and a few others who are not yet out there but maybe one day...West is great IMO...but not in the Pres. race this time around. I’d support him in a heartbeat as well. But until Palin makes her claim to run or not I am still looking at the candidates....who knows who will be our Candidate at this juncture? I sure don’t, but there are some I like far more than others......
Yeah it’s quite sad and pathetic. Palin supporters are doing and saying things she never would because she’s got loads more class.
