Neil Johnson describes himself as "just a taxpaying American" with a wife and three children. He loves to hunt, and he enjoys the orchestra.

He grew up on the outskirts of Debs, Minn., where his mom grew alfalfa sprouts in the window.

As a young man, he planned on joining the military, but was denied after he had braces put on his teeth. Neil explains why he loves America and how Michele Bachmann earned his vote.
