Bachmann on Obama: 'HE WANTS TO ANNIHILATE US!'

By Administrator - 02/05/10 10:58 AM ET

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) may have set the bar for fundraising rhetoric last week with a fiery letter soliciting donations for the American Conservative Union.

The Minnesota Republican calls Obama a "political street fighter" who "sees ACORN as his ideological 'shock troops' leading his 'revolution.'"

"Obama wants to use ACORN to radicalize America because he isn’t interested merely in defeating conservatives...HE WANTS TO ANNIHILATE US!" Bachmann exclaims.

In other parts of the pitch, Bachmann accuses Obama of wanting to "KILL conservatism," of engaging in "gangster government" whose policies are a "dagger pointed right at the heart of conservatism."

Read the whole letter after the jump.



    Dear Fellow Conservative,

    Will you let Barack Obama KILL conservatism?

    If you’re the type of conservative I trust you are, I know your answer is a resounding “NO!”

    Because you and I have our work cut out for us opposing Obama’s outrageous gangster government.

    What is happening in Washington right now is BIGGER than FDR’s New Deal or LBJ’s “Great Society”…

    …and far more dangerous to our freedoms than both combined!

    Obama’s plans will do nothing less than socialize our economy and turn every citizen into a ward of the state.

    As a conservative, I’m deeply concerned.

    But I have some very big news. Despite what some doom-and-gloomers have been saying, there is still real hope.

    And this is why I had to contact you today.

    Now I just hope and pray you’ll take the next two minutes to read this letter so I can explain why your help of at least $35 is so urgently needed.

    As you know, Barack Obama has embarked on the most radical presidency in America’s history.

    Obama is advancing a far-left agenda of Socialized Medicine, government takeover of the private sector, higher taxes, increased   welfare spending, censorship of conservative talk radio, and empowerment of radical community groups.

    If government grows so vast that it gets its tentacles into every aspect of our lives, the American spirit of independence and responsibility will be BROKEN!

    Obama’s socialist agenda is a dagger pointed right at the heart of conservatism. He’s playing for keeps.

    Obama is a political street fighter who learned the rules of politics from the Democrats’ Chicago Machine.

    Unofficial correspondence. Not printed or mailed at government expense. Paid for and authorized by ACU STRIKEFORCE.

    Just consider Obama’s ties to the radical group ACORN.

    For years Obama worked with, advised, and even trained ACORN and its volunteers in community agitation.

    So close is Obama to ACORN that his presidential campaign relied on it for crucial get-out-the-vote drives to win.

    But ACORN is a corrupt group, rotten to the core. It’s been investigated for voter fraud in 14 states and its workers have been caught on tape in 5 separate cities willing to help set up brothels for underage illegal alien child prostitutes.

    Yet, Obama has used his enormous power as president to funnel millions of dollars into ACORN’s coffers to strengthen this radical group and his base.

    Because Obama sees ACORN as his ideological “shock troops” leading his “revolution.”

    Obama wants to use ACORN to radicalize America because he isn’t interested merely in defeating conservatives…

    …HE WANTS TO ANNIHILATE US!

    That’s the purpose behind ObamaCare, too.

    Obama’s goal with ObamaCare is to make every American utterly dependent of Big Brother Government for health care.

    Once every American citizen is on the dole of Socialized Medicine, Obama will have enormous power to decide how to “SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND!”

    And by growing government into a LEVIATHAN, he will make small government, pro-family conservatives like you and me politically irrelevant.

    Americans will be prevented by Big Government from relying on our own wits, ingenuity, and hard work to take care of ourselves.

    This vision for America is my nightmare.

    And as long as I have breath in my body, I will fight Obama’s liberal agenda of higher taxes, Socialized Medicine, and funding of radical groups like ACORN.

    But the hard truth is that right now there are simply not enough conservatives in Congress to put a full-stop halt to Obama’s socialism – we can only slow him down.

    Thankfully, conservative Americans are coming together to stop Obama’s rocket train to socialism.

    And today I’m asking you to please join us.

    American Conservative Union Strikeforce (ACU STRIKEFORCE) is the group to TAKE ON and TAKE DOWN Obama’s agenda by rebuilding our party and helping elect real conservative candidates to Congress.

    ACU STRIKEFORCE doesn’t support just any Republican candidate…

    As the political arm of the American Conservative Union, the oldest and most respected conservative grassroots organization in America, ACU STRIKEFORCE is dedicated to electing ONLY rock-ribbed conservatives.

    We must fight Obama’s agenda tooth and nail until we beat it at the polls.

    And we must win more seats in both the House and the Senate to put the brakes on Obama’s out-of-control spending.

Now I trust you see why this group is of such vital importance. And why after you sign your ACU STRIKEFORCE PLEDGE OF    SUPPORT I hope you’ll enclose an urgent contribution of $35, $50, $75, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, or $5,000.

    Time is of the essence!

    Your immediate support will make a huge difference by helping to strike a severe blow to Barack Obama’s plan to ELIMINATE conservatism – before it’s too late.

    As a conservative, I’m sure you agree that there is nothing more important you and I could do at this time.

    Please understand, Obama sees himself as a “Reagan-in-Reverse.”

    Ronald Reagan’s strong national defense, tax cuts, and support of traditional values not only won the Cold War, ended the seventies’ economic stagflation, and ushered in an era of personal responsibility…

    …IT DISCREDITED LIBERALISM FOR A GENERATION!

    Obama’s socialist plans are nothing less than an attempt to remake America so completely that conservatives will GIVE UP and GIVE IN to the entire liberal agenda.

    I’m not throwing in the towel. I’m energized by freedom-loving citizens like you who are standing up across this nation to stop this socialist agenda.

    My friend, in the critical weeks ahead, ACU STRIKEFORCE will be leading the counterattack against Obama’s agenda.

    The battle for America’s future is being fought today! Yes, it’s here today that we can take down Barack Obama’s agenda!

    But we shouldn’t kid ourselves.

    It won’t be easy.

    To keep building the type of grassroots network we’ll need – ACU STRIKEFORCE and I must have your help within the next 14 days.

    We must help support all the conservative candidates that are in direct opposition to Obama’s socialism, and we must do it now.

    If we do this, we can pull the rug of public support right from under Barack Obama – no campaign of charisma can save his agenda!!

    That’s why I really hope you will do two things before you do anything else today…

    1) Sign and return the ACU STRIKEFORCE PLEDGE OF SUPPORT.

    2) Send back an immediate contribution of $35, or even as much as $50, $75, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or $5,000.

    Your help will be put to immediate use as we work to attack directly Obama’s socialist agenda by helping those conservative candidates who are unafraid to speak the truth.

    Remember, the more you can help today, the more damage we can do to Barack Obama’s socialist agenda. It’s just that simple.

    So please be as generous as possible.
    Sincerely,
    Michele Bachmann

    P.S. ACU STRIKEFORCE is a unique grassroots group dedicated to stopping Obama from reaching his ultimate goal of remaking America in his socialist image.

    The time for you and me is now! So please sign the enclosed ACU STRIKEFORCE PLEDGE OF SUPPORT and send it back with your most generous gift of $35, $50, $75, $100, or even $1,000 or $5,000 today!
