She spends more time on the Talk Show circut than she does in the kitchens and livingrooms of "real" people on the "real issues". How hard has she been working to get Federal monies to the 6th District for Infrastructure improvements? The De Soto Bridge ring a bell? Michele Bachmann has been more about missed opportunities in the 6th District than anything else. Michele Bachmann is more about herself than the real issues facing the constituents in the 6th CD.

There’s another big ethics violation - Bachmann’s letter supporting a pardon for big campaign donor Frank Vennes who was not a constituent:

There is a loophole :

“In some instances, working for non-constituents on matters that are similar to those facing constituents may enable the Member better to serve his or her district.”

It's been incomplete since she filed it. You know--the Bachmann family farm that has collected over $250,000 in federal farm subsidies.
