Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (MN-06), who was not able to be present for today’s House Floor activities due to the serious illness of a close friend, issued the following statement regarding the votes she was expected to miss:

“The proposal by House Democrat leaders to only extend tax cuts for the middle class is not sufficient for our nation’s economy and would not have my support. Our economy desperately needs new jobs, but the President and House Democrats still want to raise taxes on our nation’s job creators. Tax cuts must be extended for all.”

As a former federal tax attorney and leader in the fight against reckless spending, Bachmann also urged her colleagues in the Senate to stand firm on extending the current tax rates for all Americans.

“Additionally,” said Bachman, “I support the expected vote in the House to censure Rep. Charlie Rangel (NY-15). His colleagues found him guilty of eleven ethics violations. This is not honorable behavior for a member of Congress and Mr. Rangel should face censure.”
