Michele Bachmann Broke House Rules???

Tweet

The rule in question pertains to a member's website content; it reads as follows: "May not include grass-roots lobbying or solicit support for a member's position." Here are the highlights of what Michele Bachmann posted on her official, taxpayer-funded website on Nov. 2: Bachmann Calls on the American People to Bring the Town Hall To Washington "This is the deciding moment and the people need to make sure their representatives know where they stand." WHAT: Health Care “House Call” on Washington Press Conference WHO: Republican Members of Congress Actor Jon Voight, Radio Host Mark Levin and others. WHEN: Thursday, November 5, 2009 from 12:00-2 WHERE: West Front of the U.S. Capitol (House Side) “The American people need to stand up again and make sure that Congress hears them this time. Speaker Pelosi is putting her bill on fast track to a vote — and it remains to be seen if the House will even get a chance to vote on the commonsense Republican alternatives. The people need to make a House Call on Washington this week and tell their Representatives to vote no to a government takeover of one-fifth of our economy. This is gangster government at its worst." (End of excerpt) That sure looks like "grass-roots lobbying or soliciting support for her position"to me, how about you?
