Bachmann and Palin have more guts than the entire male GOP in the House and Senate. There are a few Repubs men that are pretty good but Bachmann and Sarah are fireballs. God bless em.
I really like Bachmann - she is also a cutie like Sarah.

Proud to say she’s my Congresscritter.
Michelle is the real deal. I was fortunate to spend a few hours in her company at a 4th of July parade in 2006. She is destined for a bigger role in the conservative movement. She’s earned her ‘chops.’
Bachmann is quoted as saying; "And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums."
That is just not true.
HR1388 has bothered me for a long time, so I did the unthinkable...I read it.
There is enough buried in its 260 pages to piss us off (eg. money for Acorn-type organizations) but there is absolutely no language that makes any particpation mandatory for any age group.
The implementation of the school-age volunteer corps requires:
That the state and local educational regulating boards must buy in...
The States must research and select new 'campus' sites every year...
A pre-existing local not-for-profit must apply to run the program and must put up anywhere from 15-50% of the monies (year one to year three).
The ambitions for student participation are very low, maxing out at 250,000 in year 2017.
There are other potentially disturbing but in reality, I think, limiting factors...in particular the requirement that at least 50% of the student "participants" be disadvantaged.
You couldn't find five "disadvantaged" youths in my district. You would find even fewer parents in my district who would have their kids spend the summer at a SUNY Campus with ghetto kids.
My opinion is that HR1388 is designed to function only in the inner cities. That is troubling on many levels and may be the first step toward the slippery slope or the creation of an 'inner-city' born and trained political corps but it is not what is described by Bachmann.

Wouldn’t THAT be a pair to draw to? Each one has more cojones than Hussein does, and they actually love their country.
