Bachmann campaign hits the panic button

This afternoon we received a copy of a new fundraising letter from the Michele Bachmann campaign, which has been beset lately by news of Bachmann’s public ties to a former convict who appears to be implicated in the Tom Petters scandals, Frank Vennes Jr., and likewise by the transfer of Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee dollars to Bachmann’s Sixth District race.

The letter is reproduced in its entirety below the jump.

Short version: The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Send money!
