Rep. Michele Bachmann greeted several hundred members of the Tea Party in front of the Capitol this morning, joining other conservative lawmakers such as Rep. Mike Pence and Rep. Marsha Blackburn.

Bachmann called on the Tea Party activists to continue fighting the Democratic health care bill through the end of the week, which is when a final vote is expected. The speech energized the crowd, though it lacked the soundbites of Saturday's rally in St. Paul.

An edited video of her speech is below:
