Michele Bachmann having a town hall in my town Friday

[MomsBasement]

Any suggestions on what I should try to ask her?

 

[UpstateGenius]

When you drop out will you endorse Ron Paul?

 

[TexAg09]

^Nice lmao!

 

[vroomery]

I would think you should either ask her about her time in the IRS or frame a question around the unconstitutionality of the Patriot Act.

 

[IndianaPolitico]

Here is one,
"You and other candidates such as Rick Perry, and Newt Gingrich have begun to attack the Federal Reserve. Congressman Paul has been against the Fed for decades. Is he setting the tone for the rest of the Republican field?"

 

[sailingaway]

Don't be rude. Ask her to explain her vote for the Patriot Act.

But I understand she screens questions -- that might just be from the media, though.

Which town - she is from my district and maybe I will go also...

"What are some of the principles you took away from your weekly attendance of Ron Paul's meetings at the Capitol, and how have you applied those to your own belief of government and it's role in our lives?"

 

[swissaustrian]

Ask her on farm subsidies.
a) If she ever received some? [She did, but doesn´t admit]
b) If she thinks they should be abolished?

Yeah hit her up with the Patriot Act. She has never had to explain that one to her TEA Party followers. I suspect a response of "Well, that is a good question, and I support everybody's rights, yada, yada, but sometimes you need to give up some rights inorder to stay safe and free, blah, blah, blah."

If you find that the town hall is rigged and all questions are prescreened, bring it to light with cameras, etc.

Can't wait to hear what you have to say Friday night and/or Saturday morning. Good Luck!

 

[brushfire]

No its a good question - how does your platform differ from Perry's?

BTW - she's already endorsed Dr Paul:

She showed up at a meeting I was at and she stated how she supported all the wars. I asked her how she intended to pay for it when we were broke. A lot of Republicans at that meeting got mad at me for putting her on front street and told me I should have asked her after her presentation and not during it. Still think I did the right thing.

 

[johnrocks]

Ask her if she is still attending Ron Paul's weekly economic meetings.

If she says that be ready to retort Franklin's quote about safety and liberty.

You did the right thing. Maybe others will in the future ask tough questions.

 

[Carehn]

You guys should be nice. She is the only candidate running that we have even a slight chance of getting an endorsement from. Ask her if should would consider running as RP vice. He wont pick her but it may get her thinking.

If you ask about the Patriot ACT please be sure to mention specifically the part about the infringment on gun rights that are inside it. Most Americans are braindead to what the Patriot ACT actually is. Make sure you educate them in your question and ask her why she isn't strong on gun rights because she voted for the Patriot ACT.

 

[Jason Sallee]

Take as many other Ron Paul supporters as you can. Do not take or wear any Ron Paul items and come separately. Go as concerned citizens because you are concerned. Ask your question nicely and listen to the answer. When you are not satisfied with the answer, get up and walk out. This will be the que for the remaining Ron Paul supporters to get up and walk out as well. Maybe it will make the news if enough people get up and walk out because they don't like her policies.

 

[Havax]

Also highlight her support for Carter and question her roots.

 

[MomsBasement]

I like the Patriot Act ideas, but that hasn't been a hot issue in a long time (unfortunately). Right now I am leaning towards asking her how she expects to pay for all the wars, and include how George Bush ran on a humble foreign policy.

Where and when is this meeting? I attempted looking it up and found nothing on my googles of it?
