Here’s a tip for Minnesotans hoping to see U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann for more than the 10-minute appearance she made at her own public forum on Social Security last night. You’ll fare better to plan a trip this weekend to sunny Colorado, where Bachmann will appear for a full hour Saturday morning at the Steamboat Institute in Steamboat Springs. A bonus for staying through Monday: Bachmann is also booked to appear for an incredible 90 minutes at an Independence Institute fundraiser in Denver. But act fast, because registration via Facebook ends today!
Bachmann’s talk at Steamboat is on “Current Legislative Trends and a Healthcare Reform Update” and begins at 9:10 a.m. Cost is $250 for the full Inaugural Freedom Conference, $95 for sessions only (or a $25 Young Professionals Special Rate for those under 30 years of age).
Her Denver talk is billed simply as “A Washington Update with U.S. Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.” Cost is an affordable $35. So far Facebook doesn’t show anyone from Minnesota among the 72 people who have signed up to attend, but fans of “the second-most hated Republican woman, behind Sarah Palin” are coming from as far away as Illinois, Kentucky, California and France.

Don’t be mislead as there isn’t any “Institute” whatsoever. This is being held at a hotel. This group originated from the teabaggers where a few showed up the first time and was renamed to this.
There is big money in this town of 10,000 that voted for Obama.

You haters should be proud to have such a down to earth leader but noooo, you call her the 2nd most hated, why? Because she is a conservative.
Check out the history of what happens in the world when liberal ideas are the rule and you will see wars and depressions and a return to the Conservative ideals afterwords which have a track record of success.
That is what is happening today in these movements against progressive socialism/liberalism and back to Conservatism.

300 showed up the first time and we are growing in size.
Oh by the way, Obama is dropping in the polls like a lead balloon.Why?

And why are there more Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers than Obama/Biden? Gee, are people embarrassed that they voted for a Marxist?

Independence Institute/Steamboat Institute. They are basically the same 30 or 40 people here in Colorado who think they are important, (hint: they are not). This meeting–why is it being held in Steamboat Springs? In a hotel that caters to the ski crowd? And in a meeting room that is leased for about $500? This must be a really, really big show!

Poor Mr. Jennings. Just under 200 people spent 2 days at an educational event that had an amazing array of speakers and it just so happens that day 1of the event was shown on c-span over a 3 day period last weekend.
Enjoy your Obama pep talk this evening as I am sure no one will have a clue about anything he says regarding a health care plan.
More of the same cheap sales talk to fool the gullible like yourself.
