Sign The PetitionRep. Michele Bachmann and Sharron Angle should apologize to the American people! Text: Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sharron Angle owe the American people an apology for their shameful behavior. When the American people are hurting, these two equate saving jobs to money laundering. There is no place for this in a time of real economic need. Millions of people have lost their jobs and they claim that its in the minds of the Democratic leadership. They should apologize immediately for such out of touch and over the top rhetoric. |
