                  MINNESOTANS SAY: STOP RAISING TAXES

  (Mrs. BACHMANN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, last Saturday, 7,000 Minnesotans stood on 
the steps of the St. Paul capitol in our State for the purpose of 
standing for freedom. It was a beautiful, sunny, ebullient Saturday 
morning, and 7,000 hardworking Minnesotans took their time away from 
their families and away from their work to stand on the steps of our 
State capitol to say: Enough is enough, stop raising my taxes.
  The last vote I took in this body prior to our recess had the 
Democrats calling for the largest tax increase in American history and 
the largest spending increase in American history.
  The people in Minnesota, Mr. Speaker, asked me to come back to this 
body to fight for their freedom and to fight for the ability to hold on 
to more of their hardworking income, and that is exactly what we intend 
to do.
