Bachmann to hold anti-State of the Union event

Working across the aisle sure doesn't come naturally for far right-wing Cong. Michele Bachmann. Apparently, even listening across the aisle is too much to ask of the congresswoman known for antics such as encouraging constituents to boycott the 2010 census.
Appearing on Glenn Beck's show this week -- one of her favorite pastimes, it seems -- Bachmann announced plans to host a press conference the same day as the State of the Union about her opposition to health care reform. Politico called the plan an "anti-SOTU" event.
Here's a quote from her appearance:
"Next Wednesday, we're going to announce our next step for patriots in this country. We're gonna have a press conference at the Capitol, because that's the State of the Union that evening, and we're going to have a press conference about where we go from here. It's a Declaration of Independence -- but a declaration of health care independence. And we're going to have patriots and we're inviting the people to come, too, to sign this document that says we reject what they [Democrats] want..."
While Bachmann is planning the latest of her attention-grabbing antics, we're planning to make sure her Democratic challenger, Tarryl Clark, has the resources she needs to oust this right-wing leader and put this seat in Democratic hands. Click here to learn more about Tarryl's race in MN-06 here.
