Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) announced today she has filed paperwork to form the "House Tea Party Caucus".
Bachmann posted a statement to her House Web site along with a copy of a letter initiating the process:
Bachmann to Start House Caucus to Promote the American Peoples' Priorities
Washington, Jul 15 -
Today, U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann filed paperwork to start a House Tea Party Caucus to promote Americans call for fiscal responsibility, adherence to the Constitution, and limited government.
"The American people are speaking out loud and clear. They have had enough of the spending, the bureaucracy, and the government knows best mentality running rampant today throughout the halls of Congress. This caucus will espouse the timeless principles of our founding, principles that all Members of Congress have sworn to uphold," Bachmann stated. "The American people are doing their part and making their voices heard and this caucus will prove that there are some here in Washington willing to listen."
A letter was sent earlier today to Representative Robert Brady, Chairman of the Committee on House Administration to register the House Tea Party Caucus as a Congressional Member Organization for the 111th Congress
According to MinnPost.com the caucus would be open to Members without regard to party affiliation.
I gotta send a note to my Congressman suggesting he join; I be he will:
Dr. Michael Burgess.
ditto most wise one!
You said it just perfect!
It would be great in 2013 if Pres. Palin spoke to the Tea Party Caucus.
You betcha and you know they’d invite her!
I am so happy about this.
I just know the Black and Hispanic Caucuses are birthing unholy cows over this caucus idea of Michele’s.
Beautiful photo of beautiful Michele. Thank you for posting it!
God bless her!
Thanks for the post. I’m feeling a whole lot better about the prospects for America. BTW, just sent a message to my liberal Representative as follows:
Rep. Speier, I’m sure that you know about the new caucus proposal by Rep. Bachmann for the TEA Party. If not, you can see it here: http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn271/repmichelebachmann/July%202010/HouseTeaPartyCaucus.jpg Just thought that you might want to see what the rest of America, i.e. the majority that will stop your liberal destuction of the country, plans to do after Jan 2011: i.e. Refocus the country on the Constitution, Smaller government and Reduced spending. Maybe you ought to consider getting on board with the sentiments of the majority of Americans. Best wishes to you as your liberal ideologies are supplanted with traditional conservative values after the next election. Now you can’t claim ignorance for your misdirected ways. Your response is most welcome.
Count on every RHINO in the bunch trying to jump on the bandwagon!
My Congresscritter by district is Lynne Woolsey who is co-chair of the Progressive Caucus. Michele is my adopted Rep.
thanks for posting.
any idea how this works? in other words, is this a ‘request’ and can the ‘request’ be rejected?
What a fabulous idea! ‘Hat Tip’ to Michele Bachmann!
Exactly my thoughts, wonder who will infiltrate to report back to the Communists what is going on inside.
She is relentless.
BTTT!!
Right on!
“the caucus would be open to Members without regard to party affiliation.”
ROTFLMAO! Oh they will have a hard time painting this as racist when EVERYONE is welcome in it! BRILLIANT!
Looks like a winner to me. Michele Bachmann just doing the work Pubbie males won’t do.
