Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is hoping to make today a special message to the left -- especially "Big Sister Pelosi and Big Brother Reid" -- through a mega-fundraising drive for her campaign.

The intention is send a message from the American people: "You're saying that you don't want this Gangster Government supersized!"

"We can show them that we mean business by raising money from patriots like you across the nation in a one-day fundraising blitz," said an e-mail from Bachmann's campaign. "There will be no dismissing our efforts as Astroturf -- this is the power of the People taking back their government!"

So far, she's not exactly in Ron Paul money-bomb territory, with only about $22,000 to show for it so far. But hey, the day is young, so let's see what happens. Check out the full-email after the jump.

They dismissed you at town hall meetings -- called you astroturf, artificial, even un-American.

They turned a blind eye to the tea parties.

Corruption at ACORN using your tax dollars hasn't made it to the President's radar screen.

SEND THE LEFT A MESSAGE THEY CANNOT IGNORE:

Dear Friends:

I promised you Monday that TODAY, Wednesday, October 14th, we would together send the Left a message they cannot ignore. Here's how we're going to do it. I hope you'll join the effort!

You may have noticed that Washington no longer talks about spending millions or even billions of your tax dollars. The powers-that-be at the White House and Congress deal in trillions now with ease!

Go to www.michelebachmann.com at any time to make your voice heard!

That's why the deficit and national debt are at historic highs and are only expected to keep rising.

That's why Medicare's on its way to broke and Social Security will take in less than it pays out next year.

Only in Washington could they consider an $829-billion health plan a bargain!

Washington's reckless spending is jeopardizing our future prosperity and whittling away at your liberty. The dollar's dominance overseas is being openly questioned and American exceptionalism is being openly mocked.

Is this the legacy we want to leave our children?

I don't think so. Join me today and we can build a better future together!

You've gone to the town hall meetings and been at the tea party rallies, only to be ignored by the Left. Well, I've heard you loud and clear and you're saying: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

You're saying that the Constitution matters!

You're saying that if Washington can't even stop funding a corrupt group like ACORN, you don't want to trust it with your money!

You're saying that you don't want this Gangster Government supersized!

And, you're saying that America was founded on noble principles of life, liberty, and property and that we should be proud of what we stand for -- not taking a world apology tour!

Well, if all that the Left understands is money, then that's how we can send them a message that they'll actually hear!

Can you make a donation today at www.michelebachmann.com to show the Left that we mean business? Can you ask your friends to join you in sending even just $25 today at www.michelebachmann.com?

We can show them that we mean business by raising money from patriots like you across the nation in a one-day fundraising blitz.

There will be no dismissing our efforts as Astroturf -- this is the power of the People taking back their government!

Thank you, and God bless,

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann
