Well, well, well, The Tribune of Ames, Iowa has endorsed Democrat Beth Wessel-Kroeschell to be State Representative for District 45. I certainly am not surprised given the Liberal leanings of Iowa newspapers this election cycle.
I am disappointed with The Tribue for the dismissive tone given to Ryan Rhodes with what he advocates and his ideas [...]

Wow- I hit the jackpot yesterday when I walked to the mail box! There were three mailings from the Iowa Republican Party about voting for Second Amendment Rights.
Being a parent who sent a child to college to study marketing I found each mailing to be powerful and to the creative point. Let me share with [...]

Prior to the vote on the Great American Sellout Bill, I contacted Senator Grassley- strongly urging (begging!) him to NOT vote for bill. It was with great disappointment that I learned that Grassley did, in fact, vote for it. Needless to say, it was a huge disappointment for me that Grassley would be so easily [...]

Last year (March 2007) an article appeared in The Atlantic featuring Colorado gay [...]

The Republican candidate for Iowa House District 95, Doug Smith, got into politics to be a civil servant. He was inspired to run when the Iowa legislature took away the people’s right to vote on the marriage amendment. He knows that the government is supposed to represent the people and not control the people, and [...]

Iowa voters- As I have previously noted callmecrusader is now a first time grandmother. I regret to say that I was too busy loving my own children and taking interest in other children in my life that I failed to pay attention to the issue of abortion. Not now.

And so it starts and/or and so it continues… the nauseating attempt to push Willard Mittens Romney on American voters. Romney was rejected in the primaries. His money could not buy him the nomination, yet his name is coming out in force even before the 2008 election is decided.

In a move that is not at all surprising the Des Moines Register today endorsed US Senator Tom Harkin for a fifth term. It was only fitting that the left leaning Register endorsed one of the most liberal politicians to come out of Iowa. Let us explore the so-called reasons behind their decision.
The foremost reason [...]
