A new request for campaign contributions from Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says that she needs help to prove to Democrats that she is not an extremist.

In an e-mail to supporters, Bachmann accuses the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of "gunning" for her with a new web site.

Here's an excerpt from the Bachmann letter:

"It's the Democrat (sic) Congressional Campaign Committee's (DCCC) latest attempt to discredit every word out of my mouth and to paint anyone who disagrees with the liberal agenda sweeping through Washington as an extremist. If you get a chance, check it out. It's incredible how fast and loose they are willing to play with the truth. We thought we saw the height of their spin machine last October, but, really, it looks like this is just the beginning."

Bachmann asks for a contribution to help her keep fighting. She also asks supporters to share the e-mail with five friends.

"The Democrats are gunning for me because I refuse to shrink from a fight. With your help, I can keep fighting for your freedom, for your pocketbook, and for all that the Constitution has secured for the American people for generations."
