Bachmann taps star power during RNC

Posted at 9:26 AM on August 26, 2008 by Tim Pugmire (1 Comments)

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., will be rubbing shoulders with some big names during next week's Republican National Convention.

Bachmann's campaign sent supporters an invitation to three fundraising events. On Monday, Sept. 1, the congresswoman will join former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney at the University Club in St. Paul for a $250 per person brunch.

Bachmann will appear Tuesday, Sept 2, with radio talk show host Laura Ingraham, but details for that $25 per person event were not yet set.

On Wednesday, Sept. 3, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will headline a breakfast for Bachmann, also at the University Club, at $250 per person.

Huh. No appearances in the district she represents? No appearances without writing her a check? When will Michele's constituents get to see their congresswoman? She has yet to have a public meeting in the 6th CD since being elected. Isn't that newsworthy too?
