The folks at Right Wing Watch posted a video on YouTube of U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann leading the "prayercast" on Wednesday night.

The Family Research Council Action PAC organized a 90-minute online prayer against passage of the proposed health care overhaul.

Lou Engle, founder of The Call, asks Bachmann: "Would you lead us in prayer in asking forgiveness in governmental leaders where they have not looked to God?"
