Bachmann Iowa Presidential Campaign Staff Still Not Paid

  • I cannot in good conscience from this day forward support Michele Bachmann for any office .

    Many of her Iowa presidential staff still have not been paid. It is a sad day when only the select top management received their salaries and all of the others are still not being paid, even after the Congresswoman has repeatedly received requests for financial assistance.


    These are men and women with families to support. We have reports that some of these very people who gave their all to support Michele are now homeless. 

    To make matters worse, the very same people who were responsible for her defeat in the presidential primaries were re-hired to help in the Minnesota campaign in excess of $100,000! Does this make any sense at all?

    I have written her campaign and received no response from anyone concerning this situation. I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed I am in someone who I believed was the best choice for President of those running to help restore this country.

    If Michele will not take care of these few, how does she expect to take care of a nation ... or even her neighbors in Minnesota?

    Attached is just one of the many lawsuits that may be pending. However, I was told by insiders of the Bachmann campaign that they paid the Network of Iowa Christian Home Educators, or Niche at least $10,000 for this list after they were informed that it was being used.

    It is my personal belief that Kent Sorenson, who defected to the Paul campaign at the last minute before the Iowa vote, intentionally did this to sabotage and discredit the Bachmann campaign.

    This is the kind of dirty politics, as well as what I have learned goes on behind the scenes, that makes one want to just throw your hands up in the air and say ... "Who can we trust?"

    Oscar Booth Quote; "I am not sure that Michele even was aware of these circumstances".
    Personally, I'm not sure you are sure about any of this. So why make accusations? That's what the Left wing loons do. They don't have any proof, they just insinuate circ...  more

    Katie Baker Oscar, I do have proof. To say I am making allegations without any documentation is ludicrous. I would not risk my reputation on false accursations.
