Voters got to see Rep. Bachmann’s true colors when she ran for president – and the more they saw, the less they liked. Her extreme ideology has crippled Washington, and working families have paid the price.

Graves is coming close to defeating her, but needs a bit of help from progressives if he is to win. Thanks for pitching in.
