Bachman Burner Overdrive


Needless to say the appearance of Congresswoman Michelle Bachman (MN-06) on Hardball Friday night pissed me off as well as some "others".  I've been looking around all night at this thing and something the good congresswoman didn't ever dream of  has happened.
The netroots got Really Pissed.

Her opponent,  Elwyn Tinklenberghad was adopted some folks at KOS , and it went around the horn as fast as anything the Dean Campaign ever dreamed of.
Tinklenberghad has had $ 100,000 pour in to the Act Blue pages in 12 hours. He's raising money faster than Jerry Lewis.

MN-06: Time to kick Michelle Bachman out of Congress

Digby has picked up the torch as well as the first folks at KOS .

Now we all know how vain "Tweety" is , and we all know he does a feature called the "Big Number" on his show at the bottom of the hour. Soo let's give him a real big number for Monday.

Spread out, ask other sites to post on this , it's not like it's starting from Zero, we got a $ 100,000  head start.  And if you need more encouragement consider this :

A day earlier at a debate in St. Cloud with her Democratic opponent, Elwyn Tinklenberg, Bachmann spoke kindly of Obama.

"If the presidency would somehow go to Barack Obama, I would welcome him to the 6th District as well," Bachmann said after the debate. "As a matter of fact, I would put my hand on his shoulder and give him a kiss if he wanted to" - a reference to when Bachmann gained notoriety for grabbing President Bush's shoulder after his 2007 State of the Union address and holding on until he kissed her.

Elwyn Tinklenberg. I don't know where the Tinklenberghad thing is coming from, but in case anyone wants to do any research on the guy, it's Tinklenberg--not Tinklenberghad.

Before I heard about the Act Blue page and others I just donated on his home page. It would be interesting to see how much came in there as well as others for combined totals to date.

It's also important for everyone to sign the petition to send to congress!
