I'm Zach Rodvold, Campaign Manager for Tarryl Clark's campaign for Congress.
Today, Michele Bachmann is airing her first ad of the campaign season, and it’s no surprise she’s gone negative - distorting reality and calling names. Bachmann has no record of accomplishment to run on, so she’s resorting to more of the same recycled negative attacks – and putting $239,000 behind them this week alone.
If Michele Bachmann spent any time in her district, she would know that these are exactly the type of attacks that voters have had enough of. Instead, she’s traveled the country, skipping events in Minnesota to headline a rally in Dallas just this past Saturday.
While Bachmann travels the country, Tarryl Clark travels the district, attending over 30 community events in the past 30 days alone. Talking directly to people in the district, Tarryl hears time and again that voters are sick of Washington's - and Michele Bachmann's - ways.
Make no mistake, thanks to her special interest supporters and right wing activists across the country, Bachmann has big money. And they’re going to spend it running a campaign that’s straight out of the Karl Rove playbook.
While they’ve got support from insurance companies and Wall Street executives, and celebrity friends like Sean Hannity and Sarah Palin, we’ve got you – the netroots and the grassroots. And it’s time to take them head-on.
Post on your front pages, tell your friends, and get the word out that Bachmann has gone negative and the time to fight back is NOW.
We need you to help us push back with everything we have. This is truly the test. Our district is the battleground.
Michele Bachmann has spent nearly two years pursuing a personal agenda at the expense of the people of the 6th District – and at the expense of American taxpayers. To put an end to her brand of negative, divisive politics, we must defeat her in November.
Michele Bachmann is on the air. She is on the attack. The time is now. Can Tarryl count on you today?
