Iowa’s Senator Joni Ernst: corrupt

Iowa’s Senator Joni Ernst: corrupt John,  It appears Iowa’s junior senator Joni Ernst - a hardline Trump supporter - knows the truth about Trump’s actions. During a brief media appearance on Monday (her first after months of ducking the press to avoid impea…

Kimberly may call you this week.

Kimberly may call you this week. John,  Did you know that most incumbent Representatives in the House spend about FIVE hours a day calling donors to raise money for the DCCC? That’s a hundred hours a month! Shouldn’t that time be spent listening to constitu…

Which side is Joni on?

Which side is Joni on? John,  I’ve said it before, but this week has truly brought home the fact that we MUST bring accountability and ethics to the U.S. Senate. During these impeachment proceedings, we have witnessed some staggering levels of cowardice and…

We’re the campaign to flip the Senate.

We’re the campaign to flip the Senate. John,  In the 2018 election, voter turnout here in Iowa increased from 15% to 27%.   We need to increase that percentage even more for the June 2 Iowa Democratic primary. That’s the only way we’ll get a progressive nom…

Peace, PACs, and POTUS

Peace, PACs, and POTUS John,  How many brave young Americans have we lost, and how many other innocent lives have been lost in our prolonged conflicts in the Middle East? Is it ok for the President to provoke or initiate war without Congressional approval? …

Iowa senator ignores women’s rights

Iowa senator ignores women’s rights John,  In 2014, the status of a Louisana law which would severely restrict a woman’s right to choose was left in limbo by a federal district court. Since then, multiple states have followed Louisiana in trying to overtur…
