		<description>Apologies as that link is no longer active, here&#039;s the full text of the letter mentioned above:

Dear Andy,

We wanted to respond to your letter to us last week and to assure you that regardless of what inside-the-beltway media writes or what unnamed “sources” it quotes, we are proud to serve with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.

She has been a consistent and strong voice for the American taxpayer in Washington from the day she took office.  And, despite the taunts and insults that the media elites and liberals hurl at her, she never wavers in her commitment to fiscal responsibility.

Republicans in Congress – buoyed by the American people who have risen up against the Democrat tide in Washington – are fighting against bad policies.  Their health care prescription is bad policy.  Their cap and trade national energy tax is bad policy.  Their tax-and-spend agenda is bad policy.  We’re strong in our opposition and vibrant in the alternatives we offer.

Republicans have real solutions.  And, that includes Congresswoman Bachmann, who has introduced positive solutions for health care reform, budget reform, energy independence, and more.  We’re the Party of real hope and change.  

When the other side can’t come up with arguments to defend their policies, they turn to personal attacks against their detractors.   Congresswoman Bachmann stands shoulder to shoulder with her constituents and that really seems to irk some on the left.  We fully expect that despite the best attempts of the media and the liberals, Michelle will continue to be a strong voice for freedom, smaller government, and better solutions.

Sincerely,

John Boehner
Republican Leader

Eric Cantor
Republican Whip</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Or else you will see people like me bust their butt so hard that she raises millions, wins by a landslide &lt;/i&gt;

Oh yeah, they&#039;d better apologize.  Conservatives wouldn&#039;t want Bachmann to win another election now, would you?</description>
