Tuesday. November 20. 2007
Recently on the now defunct program. Michele Bachmann was heard to make these comments about having to work an arduous five day work week:
What’s what’s really been missing unfortunately is our ability to be home in St. Cloud and in our local districts to be able to meet with people and talk with populate. And after all that’s really where the answers are is back domiciliate and I’d much rather be able to be home a few days a week and meet with populate there and um then when we get to Washington get drink to business and get the work done. DL: Well that goes against the philosophy of the left uh. Michele they they think they know everything and they can do everything from Washington don’t they?MB: That’s right and Don the other thing they want is they be to alter sure that we’re here in Washington where the lobbyists can feast on us all day and-DL: I’m a huge advise of you guys stayin’ home. MB: That’s right. It’s much better to be with normal people people back home in our districts.
Yet no more than two weeks after these statements deriding being in Washington and having lobbyists "feasting" on her. Michele was in attendance at a Liberty Summit put on by an organization run by Dick Armey called. What is Freedomworks? Well it is a conservative lobbying group whose mission includes:
FreedomWorks fights for lower taxes less government and more economic freedom for all Americans.
And the agenda for the Liberty Summit?

As this story is still developing and there are a few questions that need to be answered. I gave Heidi Frederickson a call with the following questions:
How is Michele involved in Freedomworks?
This is not the first Michele has attended. Back in March she attended another event hosted by Freedomworks. Something interesting to note here is if you scroll down through the pictures you see that Bob Murray () was also in attendance that day. Also it appears to me that many of the issues Bachmann has been touting ( etc) are the products of Freedomworks. I am able to find at least instances where Bachmann attended Freedomworks events and one has to wonder how much affect Freedomworks has over Michele Bachmann. That is not to say that anything illegal has transpired. However it is interesting to see that Michele spends much more measure hanging out with Freedomworks in Washington than she does here in her own district where she claims she would like to be. This story is still developing and hopefully Heidi Frederickson can clear some things up for us.
What was her role in the November 14th and 15th Liberty Summit?
Given that this event had an entire day planned for lobbying if Michele decided to let them "eat" on her shouldn't she explain to us why she said that she would rather be in St. Cloud with her constituents? Also given that she hasn't had a hit constituent forum or town hall meeting to my knowledge shouldn't she give us here in the district the opportunity to affect her vote?
As of right now there are many more questions than answers and I will keep digging. If you happen to have any answers to these questions let me know at (political_cerebrate@hotmail com).
