The "BACHMANN TEA PARTY" Voting record for the UNCONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOT ACT

THE BACHMANN HOUSE TEA PARTY CAUCUS - The WOLF in Tea Party Clothing

The Tea Party Caucus is a caucus of the United States House of Representatives and Senate launched and chaired by Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann on July 16, 2010.^[1] The caucus is dedicated to promoting fiscal responsibility, adherence to their party's interpretation of the Constitution^[2], and limited government.

In an attempt to quell fears that Washington insiders were attempting to co-opt the Tea Party movement, Rep Michele Bachmann stated "We're not the mouthpiece. We are not taking the Tea Party and controlling it from Washington, D.C. We are also not here to vouch for the Tea Party or to vouch for any Tea Party organizations or to vouch for any individual people or actions, or billboards or signs or anything of the Tea Party. We are the receptacle."

Political donations

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the top contributors to the Tea Party caucus members are health professionals, retirees, the real estate industry and oil and gas interests. The Center said the contributions to caucus members from these groups, plus those from Republican and conservative groups, are on average higher than those of House members in general and also for other Republicans. The average Tea Party caucus member received more than $25,000 from the oil and gas industry; compared to about $13,000 for the average House member and $21,500 for the average House Republican

Comment by 7R33SandR0P3S on June 8, 2011 at 6:34pm: More NON-Tea Party CAUCUS Republicans voted AGAINST The So-Called Patriot Act Extensions than did the "Bachmann Tea Party CAUCUS.

They, "Bachmann" crowd, must think the Grass Roots voters don't know how to check their voting records. BTW, CAIN has no voting record. He is waaaay to risky.

Thanks Tara.

Comment by Tara on June 2, 2011 at 5:30pm: Doc, it is already commonly known that the tea party has been co-opted by the likes of Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin and other fake conservatives who are nothing but a bunch of hypocrites. They talk the good talk about liberty and the Constitution but actions speak louder than words right? They've voted against liberty and the Constitution time and time again.

No one is getting paid to spread propaganda here. And before you start insulting a long time member here you should really look at the fruits of the member before you go on the attack. This is not about left and right, it is about exposing the truth of what these crooked politicians are up to on both sides of the aisle, period.

Comment by Doc Vega on June 2, 2011 at 4:29pm: More leftist drivel. Who pays you to spread propaganda? The Tea Party has nothing to do with taking your liberties away door knob take a good long look at Obama you drone!
