Michele Bachmann has missed nearly 60% of votes since July--time to dock her paycheck!
Michele Bachmann has failed to show up for work in Congress 58.7 percent of the time since July 1, missing 145 out of 247 roll call votes. The last time Bachmann even cast a vote was August 1. If we were to pay our goldbricking congresswoman on a pro rata basis for the time she was actually working for us in the past three months, we would dock her $174,000 annual paycheck $25,534.50.

1. No, please don't.
The less time she spends on the floor of the House, the less damage she does.

2. ... also time to hold her (lack of) a voting record up to what she says on the trail ...
... make sure her claims of 'I support' or 'I voted for' are factual, based on her voting record. Or not.
