New Rally Cry: Don't Submit

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., has a message for the Americans people: Do not submit to "Obamacare," the massive health-care reform bill President Obama just signed into law."

I want to let people know that we hear you," she told WND. "We want this bill repealed, too, and we're not just going to roll over and accept Obamacare. We're not going to roll over and let Nancy Pelosi have her way because it was just a handful of Democrats leadership that pushed this bill onto the backs of 300 million Americans. We don't have to accept this."

While Bachmann explained that she is not advocating civil disobedience, she said people must not give into apathy and believe the health-care bill cannot be overturned.

She was the first lawmaker down on the floor this week as she eagerly presented H.R. 4309, a one-page bill to repeal the Democrats' health "reform."

Asked whether the health-care bill really has a chance of being repealed, Bachmann replied, "It's very difficult. I won't put rose-colored glasses on. But 76 percent of the people in the United States have said that they don't want this bill."

Americans must prepare to take the fight to the polls this election, she explained, and they must vote for constitutional conservatives to make up majorities in the House and Senate.

"What we saw on Sunday evening was the results of November 2008," Bachmann said. "Pure and simple, that's what it was. We also will have our day of victory, but we have to focus on November 2010. It is all about choosing constitutional conservatives who have a winnable chance of getting elected."

She added that the American people must also strategically select a strong presidential candidate in 2012.

"We can take no substitutes for our nominee. We cannot be fooled with someone who is conservative lite," Bachmann said. "It has to be a bold, strong, constitutional conservative who we run for president, one who is strong enough to see this fight through of repealing Obamacare. We absolutely can do it."

She called repeal of Obamacare a winning issue and the No. 1 concern that conservative candidates would be wise to embrace during their campaigns this year.
