“I took this action because I want to make it perfectly clear: I was born in America and I am a proud American citizen. I am, and always have been, 100% committed to our United States Constitution and the United States of America.”-Michele Bachmann, Republican politician

Supposed U.S. patriot Michele Bachmann issued that statement after it was revealed that she became a Swiss citizen when she married her Swiss husband, back in 1978.

But according to POLITICO, Michele and her three youngest children became official Swiss citizens on March 19, 2012!  Becky Rogness, a spokeswoman for Michele, basically says Michele applied for the Swiss citizenship, because her children wanted it!

Now it appears the backlash from that revelation has become too much for the stand her ground republican, and she has officially asked the government of Switzerland to revoke her citizenship.
