Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has told social conservatives not to let up as the 2012 election draws closer.

The likely presidential candidate spread a message of perseverance to the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference in Washington. She highlighted her early role in pursuing a Minnesota ballot initiative banning gay marriage, which voters will decide next year. “Never despise small beginnings,” Bachmann told the crowd.

This weekend in Washington, DC at the Faith & Freedom Conference she also spoke up for marriage. Her comments about marriage can be viewed here on C-SPAN and begin at the 1:23 minute mark. They last about 3 minutes.
