Bachmann attacks 'radical environmentalists'...shares Christian testimony
Bachmann is in the middle of a three-day swing through Florida. Later Saturday she addressed the Florida Family Policy Council, which led efforts to ban gay marriage in the state constitution and supports anti-abortion legislation. She praised the group's work as she talked about discovering Jesus as a teenager.
"I wasn't a bad girl. I didn't drink, I didn't smoke, I didn't do drugs, I didn't chase around with boys _ it didn't matter. I still didn't know the Lord," Bachmann said. Then she told a story about walking into an unlocked church at night with friends when she was 16. She said she and her friends cried and confessed their sins.
"At that moment I gave my heart to Jesus Christ," Bachmann said. "I knelt beside my bed and I said, `Lord, I have no idea what just happened to me tonight. All I know is that I'm a completely different person.'"...
