Bachmann raising funds for bus tour

In an email to supporters sent earlier today, Rep. Michele Bachmann asked for funds to pay for her two-day bus tour. She says:

Fueling this bus tour will be expensive, so I'm reaching out to you to help. I've set a goal for our campaign to raise $48,000 online in the next 48 hours to fund the tour.

Bachmann noted that her opponent, democrat Tarryl Clark, has been raising lots of cash from liberal groups who want to defeat Bachmann. She says "Nancy Pelosi has personally targeted me for defeat this year."
