Bachmann will sign "Repeal It" pledge for health care bill
Posted by: Eric Roper under Minnesota congressional Updated: March 18, 2010 - 3:42 PM
Rep. Michele Bachmann's spokester Dave Dziok said this afternoon that the congresswoman will be signing a pledge to repeal the Democrat health care bill -- providing it is passed this year.
The "Repeal It" pledge is sponsored by the Club for Growth, a conservative 501(c)(4) organization.
Bachmann joins 37 other lawmakers who have already signed, though she is the first from Minnesota.
The full pledge: “I hereby pledge to the people of my district/state to sponsor and support legislation to repeal any federal health care takeover passed in 2010, and replace it with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government.”
