CALL Michele Bachmann's office and demand two things:
- Demand to know how much Tax Payer money we are forking over to Justice Scalia
- Demand Bachmann explain why the Tax Payer's are being SHUT OUT of watching "Scalia's Lesson" since the Tax Payer is paying to educate them.
Bachmann: DC Phone: 202-225-2331
Michele Bachmann's office is refusing to tell the Tax Payers how much Tax Payer money Michele is wasting & spending to pay Justice Scalia to teach the TeaBagger Caucus a lesson on "Constitution."
Michele Bachmann is also refusing to let any media cover the "Scalia Lesson Plan" even though the Tax Payers are PAYING for their Lessons.
I just phoned Bachmann's office & spoke to a woman who claimed to be, "McKinsey."
Here is the conversation I had with "McKinsey"
ME: How much money is it costing the Tax Payer to pay Scalia to "teach" Michele Bachmann's Caucus
McKinsey: I am not at liberty to disclose that.
ME: Ok, why is Bachmann using Tax Payer money to pay Scalia yet not letting the media in to cover this?
UPDATE BELOW
McKinsey: I can't answer that.
ME: Why not.
McKinsey: You will need to speak with Brook and she can't answer the phone right now.
ME: You're telling me that even though Bachmann set this up with Scalia months ago - You, Bachmann's office, are not going to tell the Tax Payer how much money WE are paying him and st the same time keeping the Tax Payer out of the meeting --- what does Bachmann have to hide?
McKinsey: She doesn't have anything to hide. Are you from the Congresswoman's District.
ME: Is Michelle only using her District's Tax Dollars to pay for Scalia?
McKinsey: I don't know the details.
ME: If Michelle Bachmann is using Tax Dollars to pay for Teachers - like Scalia - at her Caucus then it doesn't matter what District I am from . If Bachmann is using Alaskan Tax Payer money or Tennessee Tax Payer money then those people have a right to know how much of THEIR Tax Dollars Bachmann is using to pay Scalia. So, when will you be "at liberty" to tell me how much Tax Payer money is being forked over to Scalia?
McKinsey: If you give me your name and phone number I will have someone call you back.
ME: I don't want anyone to call me back. The cost to the Tax Payer should already be public knowledge. I shouldn't have to beg to find out how much Tax Dollars she is using to pay Scalia in a "Closed Door" lesson, don't you agree?
McKinsey: uh .... yes.
ME: I expect to be able to call Bachmann's office and have so much transparency that even the person answering the phone can tell me how much of MY Tax Dollars are being used to pay Scalia. So, what time can I call you back so you can tell me the dollar amount.
McKinsey: I don't know.
ME: You don't know? You don't know when you can find out? Didn't your office set this up months ago? Like I said, you should already have that basic information. Shouldn't you be able to slip Brook a note and have her scribble to dollar amount down for you?
McKinsey: I don't know.
ME: I will call you back in a few hours. Ya know, your boss is acting like a fraud right now. Bachmann goes around this country and shouts "we need to stop spending" -- yet here she is spending and keeping secret God knows how much of Tax Payer money. Not only is Bachmann on a Tax Dollar Spending Spree - she is refusing to disclose how much Tax dollars she is throwing around. I will call you back.
End of Conversation......
Ok, it's a given, Michele Bachmann is a fraud. She spews she wants to "stop spending" end "stop Entitlements" yet:
-- Bachmann receives entitlement money in the form of her Farm Subsidy.
-- Bachmann gets Tax Payer money for all the kids she "fosters."
-- Bachmann uses untold amount of Tax Dollars to pay Scalia for "Closed Door" lessons.
Look, if Bachmann wants to keep the cost of paying Scalia secret then she should foot the bill with her own money.
If she wants to maintain secrecy & keep Scalia's lesson a "closed door" meeting then she should foot the bill with her own money.
Call Bachmann's office and demand:
- Demand they tell us the dollar amount and
- Demand to know why Scalia is being paid by the Tax Payer while at the same time, his lesson is "closed off" from the Tax Payer.
Maybe, just maybe - if enough of us call they will tell us the answer?
Bachmann: DC Phone: 202-225-2331
How about that, "closed to the public" yet the PUBLIC are footing the bill.
UPDATE: Bachmann's office is now claiming Justice Scalia is not being paid to "teach" at this "closed door school."
That's right. Someone called and asked if it was "true that Scalia is getting paid over $100,000.00 to teach Bachmann's Caucus" and her office said, "Rep. Bachmann is not paying Justice Scalia."
When pressed, over semantics of "Bachmann paying" or "Tax Payer paying" Bachmann's office said she, "was not sure."
How about that ... trying to con people who phone with legitimate questions.
Bachmann's office is also saying that it is "Closed" because it is only for "members of Congress."
How about that ... my how soon the Teabaggers forget their own chants,
Bachmann: "This is the People's government" ... um ... unless Bachmann (who is the government) wants to HIDE what they say & do from the "People"
