Details on Rep. Bachmann’s upcoming trip to New Hampshire

The New Hampshire Republican State Committee said Rep. Michele Bachmann will appear at its fundraiser brunch on Saturday, March 12. The Granite State Patriots Liberty PAC says Bachmann will appear at a fundraiser later that Saturday.

The first fundraiser starts at 11:00 a.m. at hotel in Nashua. The Liberty PAC fundraiser runs from 1:30 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. in Barrington, N.H.

In a news release announcing the morning GOP fundraiser, state Republican Party Chairman Jack Kimball said he was pleased Bachmann was coming.

"Congresswoman Bachmann understands the importance of expanding the GOP in our state, returning principled conservative leadership to our governor's office and delivering a strong Republican nominee for president.

Michele is an outspoken defender of our constitution and as a small business owner and a mother who has raised five children and 23 foster children; she knows firsthand the struggles our families face and is leading the fight to bring fiscal conservatism back to our nation.

We know the Democrats have a serious spending problem and that President Obama's job destroying policies, radical agenda and overspending have been a complete failure. In order to see any economic recovery and a chance for our business community to grow and create jobs, the Obama agenda must be defeated in 2012."

Former Gov. Tim Pawlenty is also traveling to New Hampshire next week. Pawlenty will speak Thursday, March 10 at a "presidential house party series" sponsored by the "Granite Oath PAC."
