Hey folks,

In light of recent news, we here at IDP feel it’s important to restate some of the core beliefs that define the Iowa Democratic Party.

We believe in the sacred principle that is the rule of law. No person or group is above the Constitution, nor are they immune to the laws passed under its jurisdiction. 

We believe in tolerance and our democratic way of life. Political differences must be protected from persecution, we must defend those that hold them as strongly as we defend ourselves. Elections decide who holds political power, not fear. The only enemies within are those that seek to overthrow our democracy and the Constitution that upholds it.

Donald Trump only believes in his own power. He believes that presidential authority grants him the ability to break our laws without consequence, and that the Constitution is merely a useful tool that can be cast aside when he wishes to usurp it. We cannot allow him to gain unchecked power.

Vote. Our freedom depends on it. 

Sincerely,
IDP Team
