Sixth district candidates' weekend plans

GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann is in D.C. this weekend. She's speaking at the FreedomWorks "Take America Back 2010 Convention 2010."

FreedomWorks is one of several groups that promotes the Tea Party movement. No word back from Bachmann's campaign about the topic of her speech at the convention.

Bachmann then heads to a rally on Saturday hosted by Glenn Beck, the conservative Fox News and talk radio host. She won't have a speaking role, but the Star Tribune says she'll hold her own event afterwards.

Bachmann's DFL opponent in the sixth district race, State Senator Tarryl Clark, will be hitting a parade in Woodbury on Sunday.

I asked both campaigns when we can expect to see debates start up. They both say they're in negotiations with various venues, but they're not releasing any dates yet.

UPDATE: Bachmann's camp says she's flying back to Minnesota Saturday and will be participating in various events in her district, including Woodbury Days.
