postheadericon Michele Bachmann Comes Out Against PROTECT IP

you can think of Rep. Michele Bachmann, who draws attention no doubt, and like many people just send more, it comes out against the protection of intellectual property. In a letter in response to someone asking her opinion, she said:


Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your opposition to S. 968, preventing the real threats to the line of economic creativity and theft of intellectual property (IP protection) of the.
