2 Chances for Rep. Bachmann, Constituents to Talk

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) - Constituents of Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann have two chances this week to discuss pressing issues with her, including a public forum on health care.

The 6th District Republican will be in St. Cloud on Tuesday to tackle questions about Social Security. The seminar is geared toward women and Bachmann says she'll be joined by an official from the Social Security Administration.

On Thursday, Bachmann heads to Lake Elmo for the health care forum. She'll be accompanied by Congressman Michael Burgess, a fellow Republican from Texas who has a background in medicine.

Bachmann is in her second term and is expected to face another tough battle for re-election in 2010.
