The Stand Up America PAC, which describes its mission as "defeating right-wing extremists in the United States Congress," is trying to raise $10,000 off Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-MN) tea party rally tomorrow.

The PAC sent a fundraising email to supporters this morning under the subject line "Let's Ruin Michele Bachmann's Day," and calling for donations to raise $10,000 over today and tomorrow.

"This is Bachmann's big chance to cement her role as the new leader of the Republican Party," the email reads. "It could be the best day of her career. Or, you and I could ruin it."

"If we can show Michele Bachmann that we are committed to defeating her and her right-wing cohorts, if we can show that her actions motivate us as much as her supporters, we will send the strongest possible message that we are going to beat her in 2010," it continues.

Looks like the PAC needs the money. According to FEC records, it had only raised $583 by June 30.

Bachmann has been loudly promoting a tea party rally tomorrow on the steps of the Capitol. After the rally, which Americans for Prosperity is bussing people to from ten states, Bachmann wants her tea partiers to flood the halls of Congress, find their representative, "look in the whites of their eyes" and demand a vote against health care. She's called it the "Super Bowl of freedom."

I just love how the moonbats on the left are floundering around trying to hit on a 'leader'. First it's a talk show host, now it's Bachmann. There are no leaders in this movement, we all want freedom.

Bachmann is a hero. Forcing someone to buy anything is unconstitutional. And I have reservations about leaving my health care decisions to people who worship murderers like Chairman Mao.

What's next, openly advocating Hitler? Well that's what they are doing!
Worse yet that people like you would sanction it! Do you like Hitler too?

Take off your white sheets progressives, just long enough to see clearly what these people are doing to us.
