Bachmann says voters "must make a bold choice if we are to secure the promise of the future."

ORU established the O.W. Coburn School of Law in 1979. In 1986, ORU gave its law library to CBN University, which is now Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

That same year, Bachmann received a J.D. degree from Oral Roberts University.
