Michele Bachmann — Rise of a True Believer

"Heartland Warrior" Michele Bachmann is surging in the polls after announcing her candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 — and Newsmax magazine takes an in-depth look at her meteoric rise in political circles.

Newsmax's feature "Rise of a True Believer" charts Bachmann's rapid ascent from federal tax attorney to conservative stay-at-home mom to GOP congresswoman and founder of the Tea Party Caucus.

It's a rise that has taken Washington by surprise, bedeviled established Republican powerbrokers, and now threatens business-as-usual in the nation's capital.

In an exclusive Newsmax interview, the three-term lawmaker — who has been called the "gold standard" of grassroots conservatism — says Washington is a "corrupt paradigm of government, whereby votes continually are bought rather than representatives voting the will of their constituents. That's the voice that's been missing at the table in Washington, D.C. — the people's voice.

"And that's what this election is going to be about — who gets to be at that table."

Included in Newsmax magazine's "Rise of a True Believer" report:

• The left's "well-orchestrated campaign" to destroy Bachmann
• Bachmann's surprising Jimmy Carter connection
• The liberal blueblood who triggered her political epiphany
• How Bachmann became a foster parent — to 23 children
• Why Bachmann is called "America's Thatcher"
• Ken Blackwell's strategy for Bachmann's campaign
• Bachmann's charge: Obama is a "complete fraud"
• Michele's Minnesota milestone in the House
• The school assignment that led to her entry into politics
• Geithner's "outright blatant lies" on the debt ceiling
• Bachmann's "asterisk" on Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare plan
• What Bachmann learned working for the IRS
• Why we could "lose the nation for the next generation"
• The congresswoman's "riveting" experience with a Capitol painting
• The key to putting Americans back to work
• Why Bachmann "terrorizes" the left
• The "conundrum" Americans face in politics
• Bachmann's outspoken support for Prime Minister Netanyahu
• How America can be "on top of the world again"
• And more
