Rep. Michele Bachmann is scheduled to attend the Awakening 2013 conference in Oviedo, Fla., on Friday and Saturday. The conference will include speeches from several anti-gay activists including Bradlee Dean, Mat Staver, Matt Barber, Judith Reisman and Harry Jackson. The conference will also include speakers who think that Sandy Hook was a government conspiracy, that Hurricane Katrina was God’s punishment for homosexuality, that AIDS is God’s punishment for homosexuality, and at least one speaker who has suggested that President Obama is a communist Russian spy.

People for the American Way is calling on Bachmann to cancel her appearance at the conference. Scott Foval, Regional Political Coordinator for the organization said, “It is completely inappropriate for a member of Congress to speak at and legitimize an event like this. Rep. Bachmann should reconsider her decision to attend.”

People for the American Way have created a list documenting the controversial statements and action of the speakers at the conference.

The conferences full title is “The Awakening 2013: Fighting for the Soul of America,” and Bachmann has appeared at the conference in 2011 and 2012.

She won the group’s presidential straw poll in 2011.

Topics this year will include:
Radical Islam: Stealth Jihad Against America and Western Civilization
The LGBTQ (QIAAP) Agenda: Ground Zero in the Culture War
Families Under Attack: Pornography & Sexual Promiscuity and How to Fight Back
