Bachmann
Announces
Presidential
Candidacy Filing
Manchester,
N.H. – Minnesota
Congresswoman,
and conservative
leader, Michele
Bachmann
announced today
she has filed
the official
paperwork to run
for President of
the United
States. Rep.
Bachmann made
the announcement
during the first
major 2012
Republican
Presidential
Debate in New
Hampshire at
Saint Anselm
College.
"Our country
needs a leader
who understands
the hardships
that people
across America
have been facing
over the past
few years, and
who will do what
it takes to
renew the
American dream.
We must become a
strong and proud
America again,
and I see
clearly a better
path to a
brighter
future," said
Rep. Bachmann.
"For these
reasons, earlier
this evening I
instructed my
team to file the
necessary
paperwork to
allow me to seek
the office of
President of the
United States."
The Bachmann for
President
campaign filed
official
candidacy
paperwork Monday
afternoon, and
are gearing up
for a campaign
announcement
tour in the
coming weeks in
Iowa. With the
filing, Rep.
Bachmann
suspended her
Congressional
campaign and is
no longer
actively seeking
re-election in
Minnesota's 6th
Congressional
District.
I'm In.
Dear Supporter,
For the last
several months,
thousands of
patriotic
Americans
encouraged me to
run for
President of the
United States.
After many weeks
of prayer and
thoughtful
discussion with
my family and
friends, I have
decided to take
the next step
forward in
seeking the
Republican
nomination for
President of the
United States.
This afternoon
we filed papers
with the Federal
Election
Commission to
create a new
committee,
Bachmann for
President!
We will plan on
making a more
formal
announcement and
entrance into
the race later
this month from
my hometown of
Waterloo, Iowa
but I feel so
strongly about
what is
happening to our
country that I
couldn't wait
even one more
day to begin
this campaign!!
And the fact
remains that our
country is
headed in the
wrong direction
under President
Obama's
leadership. Our
federal
government has
grown far beyond
its
constitutional
boundaries. Our
economic
recovery is in
shambles, our
standing with
our
international
allies is
strained and our
core American
values and
freedoms are
under constant
threat.
We cannot risk
giving President
Obama four more
years to
dismantle our
nation. We must
act now. That's
why I've made
the decision to
get in this
race. As a
mother, wife,
small-business
owner and public
servant, I
believe I can
offer the
leadership and
passion our
Party needs to
win the White
House.
In this
critical, early
stage of my
campaign I need
trusted
supporters like
you to help me
raise the money
needed to defeat
Barack Obama.
That's why I ask
that you take a
moment today to
make a special
contribution of
$25, $50, $100,
or any amount up
to the $2,500
legal limit to
get my campaign
started.
President
Obama's campaign
team has been
working for
months to build
his
billion-dollar
campaign war
chest. We have
to show we can
compete with him
not only on a
grassroots
level, but on a
fundraising
level.
Raising the
money to defeat
President Obama
begins today,
and I hope you
will pitch in by
following this
link to donate.
No amount is too
small. Remember
that small
donations add up
to big dollars-
all being put to
use to make
President Obama
a one-term
president.
Our country is
in desperate
need of a leader
who will restore
constitutional
conservative
values to our
federal
government.
President Obama
must be held
accountable for
the far-left
agenda he has
implemented
while in office.
I intend to hold
him accountable,
and if elected I
pledge to
dismantle
Obamacare,
reduce our
growing debt,
provide the
private sector
with the
resources needed
to create jobs,
and strengthen
our national
defense.
If you agree
that our country
is in need of
new leadership -
that we cannot
risk four more
years under
President
Obama's
left-wing
policies - then
I hope I can
count on your
support as I
build my
presidential
campaign.
In order to
defeat President
Obama and get
our country back
on track, we
have to build a
national
grassroots
effort larger
than any
Republican
candidate in
history. We're
officially
building this
team today and I
hope you will
step up to the
plate and join
my campaign.
Your involvement
is absolutely
crucial to my
ability to win.
That's why
today, I hope
you'll show your
support for my
candidacy with a
generous
donation of $25,
$50, $100 or any
amount you can
afford to give
up to the legal
$2,500 limit.
I cannot thank
you enough for
your support and
I look forward
to working with
you as we launch
a new campaign
to put a
constitutional
conservative in
the White House.
Sincerely,
Michele Bachmann
