Michele Bachmann's Rude Behavior to Constituents

From the 3/17 Woodbury Bulletin:

Recent visit to Bachmann’s D.C. office was an unpleasant experience

I recently traveled to Washington, D.C. with the Arthritis Foundation to discuss the Arthritis Control, Cure, and Prevention Act with Minnesota congressional representatives.
As we met with representatives and senators, everyone, regardless of party affiliation, greeted us warmly and with respect.
However, when we arrived at Rep. Michele Bachmann’s office we were greeted with hostility, as well as rude and disrespectful staffers.
One of Rep. Bachmann's legislative assistants told us that, "We know, the representative has heard all of these stories before, but frankly these diseases are expensive.”
I’ve never heard someone disrespectfully disregard my disease in the name of fiscal matters. I am appalled by the way I was treated by the legislative assistant and the fact that my representative cares more about money than the health of her constituents.
Bachmann puts politics above the lives of her constituents and that is simply wrong.
This election year, we need to rethink who is representing us in Washington and replace Bachmann with someone who cares about the constituents of the Sixth Congressional District regardless of the fiscal benefits that we provide her.
