Famous Quotes By Michele Bachmann

Michele Bachmann Quotes 610243

We are wide open and vulnerable and in all likelihood an activist judge will strike down our Defense of Marriage Act, our state law against gay marriage, this year.

And that will occur immediately, that all schools will begin teaching homosexuality. — Michele Bachmann

I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back.
