Bachman Money Bomb (Wants to raise $240,000 in 24 hrs...)

[reduen]

This is the second "call for support" I have recieved from her in as many days. Let us see if her support is truly exploding or if she bombs out on this one shall we...

Dear Chris,

The facts are startling. Almost 14 million Americans are unemployed. Oil prices are at an all-time high. Obamacare is bringing socialism to our doorstep, and the national debt is over $14.3 trillion. Yet, our President is too busy gallivanting around Europe with his Irish cousins, to focus on rebuilding our economy and strengthening our nation.

Americans around the country are struggling to make ends meet, and looking towards our government to provide answers and a path towards recovery. It is clear these answers and solutions will not be provided under the Obama Administration. Barack Obama's failed policies have led our nation down a path of economic downfall and despair. We cannot afford another four years of an Obama White House.

Watch my video now and join my money bomb to ensure Barack Obama is a one-term President. I need your help right now to show Barack Obama that he is no match for our conservative base. We've set a goal to raise $240,000 in 24 hours, but we can only do this if you act now.

I want to continue getting the truth out about the dismal state of our economy, Obama's betrayal of Israel and so much more. Your donation will help me cover the cost of sending emails and running web ads to reach millions of constitutional conservatives.

As I travel around the United States meeting with Americans like yourself who are troubled about the future of our country, I want you to know I share your concerns. However, I know we can work together and change the direction of our nation. We must pass spending cuts, repeal Obamacare, create more American jobs and protect our traditional values.

I will continue to fight in Washington for our shared conservative values. Please watch my video and donate to our money bomb today.

My family and I are prayerfully considering what the next 18 months or so may bring. We've seen incredible support pouring in; the Team Bachmann momentum is building and very encouraging as we look to our next steps. With your generous support right now, we can continue this momentum and connect with conservatives nationwide.

As always, thank you for your support of our shared values.

Sincerely,


Michele Bachmann


PS. I know you know how critical this is. Please watch my video now and donate to my make Obama a one-term President money bomb today so we can continue working together to put America on the right track!

[realtonygoodwin]

I got this too... Hilarious!

[reduen]

About $11,500 raised so far....

[dbill27]

14,000 raised.

[ronpaulitician]

Prayerfully?

[pauladin]

lol @ centrally-planned money bombs.

[doodle]

Those who don't completely support Michelle Bachmann will be cursed by god and will cease to exist .

[trey4sports]

26,000 thus far. Hopefully this will stay under 100K for the day

[reduen]

The least that these other candidates could do is to make sure and contrive a successful bomb. I would consider it a huge embarrassment to coordinate a money bomb that does not set records...

[smartguy911]

I read somewhere she raised a lot this year but almost all of it is gone. No clue where she is spending all that money

She probably sent it to Israel.

[trey4sports]

She probably sent it to Israel.

bwahahaha

[Austin]

Up to $40,000

[ctiger2]

What a waste of cash.

[realtonygoodwin]

She spends it on direct mail....

[Praetorius]

What a waste of cash.

And the part that actually kills me - anyone want to guess how much LESS wasted money she would be getting without what positive mention and "leader" branding she's received (even if not an excessive amount of it as yet), and if she had anywhere near the negative press that Ron gets?

She's not a big thing for me, so maybe I'm just missing it, but I am constantly amazed by how much monetary and other visible support there is for Ron Paul despite his struggles with the media as compared to how little visible, verifiable support there is for all these others who are branded top-tier, leading, viable, yaddayaddayadda...it just SEEMS so transparently false and media-driven to me.

Dear Chris,

I wanted to update you on our progress for my "Make Obama a One-Term President" Money Bomb. We are already off to a great start, having raised more than $30,000. But I really need your immediate support and donation!

Your support means so much - especially now when money is tight - because it enables us, together, to reach millions of Americans. Please watch my video, donate to my money bomb to ensure Barack Obama is a one-term President and forward this email to your friends and family.

As one of the most outspoken opponents of Obamacare, the White House has acknowledged that my grassroots supporters are a direct threat to the Obama agenda. Please join my money bomb today and send a strong message to the Democrats that you are fed up with the overspending and want to elect a new President in 2012 who will fight for more American jobs and defund Obamacare.

I look forward to continuing the fight for our constitutional conservative values. Please donate today!

Sincerely,

Michele

"Dear Michele,

If you're actually concerned about the various crises, I would humbly beseech you to immediately withdraw your candidacy for the presidency and promptly endorse Dr. Ron Paul, as well as support him monetarily in any way you can.

Dr. Paul has a proven record of consistent integrity spanning decades as well as a firm constitutional understanding of the issues currently testing our country likely more vigorously than ever before. He is a proven fundraising powerhouse, and with your support, our only valid chance at taking the presidency away from Barack Obama and returning this great republic to the wise courses it was founded on and once stood for, in an era of greater health, prosperity, and freedom than we've had for some time now will be (debatably, depending on your actual level of support) greatly strengthened, to allow us to once again work toward restoring the uprightness, vigor, and liberty of this once-great nation.

God bless you, ma'am, and thanks for your kind consideration.
Sincerely,
Steve"

She's now all the way up to a whopping 50K...

72K as of 5 30 PM CST

[anaconda]

Why wouldn't she go for $250K instead of $240K? Might as well go for a full quarter of a million.

maybe she had that much lined up already in the way of promises.

Not bad, actually. That's some decent cash for a few campaign stops and some mailers. It's already a shit load more than Obama made in his 2007 money bomb, where he made something like $8K.

[reduen]

Now hubby wants me to fork over some dough... :)

Friend,

Each week, the Washington “elite” and mainstream media who want to defeat my wife stoop to a new low. Instead of working together to find solutions to the dire problems facing our country, they would rather pick fights and distort the truth about Michele.

As one of her loyal supporters- she needs your support right now more than ever. Today she is trying to raise $240,000. The amount she is able to raise will send a strong message to the Democrats in Washington that you are tired of their failed leadership. Please watch her video and donate today.

Millions of Americans are unemployed, yet President Obama and the Democrats only care about one job- their own. While they continue to campaign for themselves, Michele has been traveling across the country meeting with concerned Americans who want real, common-sense leadership in Washington. Her conservative values and message of limited government and lower taxes are strongly resonating with thousands across the United States.

I need your help today to ensure we have the funds necessary to cover the cost of sending emails and running web ads to constitutional conservatives around the country. Will you please donate to Michele’s money bomb to make certain thousands more can hear her message and, together, make Barack Obama a one-term president?

Michele is focused on the issues that matter the most to preserving our nation and returning jobs to America. We cannot allow the Democrats to continue controlling the legislation in Washington. Four more years of an Obama White House will lead to more outrageous spending and would be detrimental to our nation. We must stop the outrageous spending, reduce the national debt, defund Obamacare and create more American jobs.

My wife continues to amaze me as she stands up to her critics to defend our values. But I know she cannot stand alone. She needs to know you stand with her. Please show your support by joining Team Bachmann and donate today to her money bomb.

As Michele and our family decide what the next 18 months may bring, I want you to know that we are profoundly thankful for your support and look forward to what the future holds.

Sincerely,

Marcus Bachmann

P.S. Michele needs your immediate help in order to continue fighting against the socialist policies pushed by the Obama Administration. She needs to know you stand with her and agree Obama should be a one-term President. Donate to her money bomb now!

Granted, its nowhere near our numbers but its still disheartening to see us dinkin' around with 1 million dollar bombs when we were doin' 4-6 mil last time.

Hopefully she doesn't waste that on a Presidential campaign and just uses it to keep her congressional seat which more likely than not will be redrawn by the courts to be much more liberal than they currently are in 2012. I'm not a huge fan of her, but she's isn't a bad representative to have.

If that's the case, then I'm betting she'll run for POTUS. She's had some pretty close elections in her district as it stands. I doubt she could survive in a tougher environment. She'd be the first to go in a year even slightly favorable to Democrats.

[thehighwaymanq]

Wow. $86,000 in a day.

LOL!

Dear Chris,

It was no surprise that as soon as I launched the money bomb this morning, I received great backlash from the liberal media and Democrats. They know what I have been saying for a long time is true and are scared of the repercussions for 2012 - Americans are tired of the Barack Obama's failed leadership.

I know if we work together we can pass spending cuts, repeal Obamacare, create more American jobs and protect our traditional values. If you agree that the Democrats have driven our nation into a recession and are destroying the core conservative values on which the United States of America was founded then I urge you to join Team Bachmann.

Due to the overwhelming response to last night's email, we are extending our Team Bachmann t-shirt offer. Join Team Bachmann today, and when you donate $75 or more we will send you a t-shirt commemorating your charter membership.

When I was elected to Congress, I made a promise to myself and my constituents- no matter how hard or difficult, and no matter how tough the fight, I will always stand up for our shared conservative values. The fight has certainly not been easy, but the support from concerned Americans like yourself has given me the strength to continue forward.

Many in the Washington "establishment" would love to see us stop fighting and sit on the sidelines silently as we allow the Democrats to spend us into a deep recession. I will continue to defend our conservative values at all costs, and I am so grateful to have you on my side.

I have been humbled by your enthusiasm and prayers as I decide my next steps. Your continued support enables me to have the strength to fight back against the ruthless attacks on my character and values.

I hope you will join Team Bachmann, and show Barack Obama and the Democrats that we have built a strong grassroots base of donors and activists by contributing $75 or more to my money bomb today.

As always, thank you for your support of our shared values.

Sincerely,


Michele Bachmann


P.S. Your membership in Team Bachmann will send a strong message to the Washington Democrats that you are fed up with the Obama Administration's failed policies. Please join Team Bachmann today, and contribute $75 or more to receive your Team Bachmann Charter membership t-shirt.

[reduen]

Dear Chris,

We have an opportunity to make Obama a one-term president. However, if we don't continue building our base, we risk giving him four more years to push a far left, big government agenda that is destroying our nation.

We are 22 hours into our money bomb and we are just shy of our goals. The outpouring of support yesterday and overnight has been overwhelming, and I know we can reach our goal of $240,000 soon with your immediate donation.

I cannot stress how absolutely critical it is for our campaign to reach this goal. Every major news outlet - not to mention my opponents and Barack Obama's campaign manager -will use the numbers we report as a sign of my campaign's strength.

Obama's disastrous policies such as Obamacare undermine the very principles you and I hold dear. Is this a political game to him? For you and I, it's a fight about values -- about remaining true to the Constitution and preserving the liberty we know is a gift, not a game.

I know you are busy, but I ask that you take a few minutes to watch my video and make an immediate contribution of $24, $48, $72 or more so we can meet our money bomb goal of $240,000.

The liberal media is watching what happens as this money bomb draws to a close. They know what's at stake if we meet our goal. But no matter the vile attacks they throw our way, we will not stop our work to spread the truth about Barack Obama's socialist agenda -- and refocusing our national attention on creating American jobs. We are building a grassroots movement against the far left agenda of Barack Obama, and we need all hands on deck.

Remember your urgent donation of $24, $240, or any amount you can give makes all the difference! Together, we will make Barack Obama a one-term president. Thank you for all your support. Hope to hear from you on Facebook soon!

As always, thank you for your unwavering support.

Sincerely,


Michele Bachmann
