Wall of Shame for Matt Strawn?
April 29, 2009 11 Comments
I wrote an earlier post criticizing Matt Strawn and the RPI’s lack of action in regards to the Iowa Supreme Court’s ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act. It seemed to me that this issue exploded the grassroots and the activists while bringing out warriors in the Republican political class. Instead of capitalizing on this renewed enthusiasm of the people and highlighting the politicians who were taking a principled stance, we heard crickets chirping from the RPI. In fact, in the last two Chairman Reports Mr. Strawn did not even mention the fight for traditional marriage which happens to be one the top planks in the Republican Party Platform.
As you know, IDA has something called the Wall of Shame and we were wondering if we should place Matt Strawn on this wall for his lack of conviction on the marriage subject. We then decided to do the right thing no matter what we believe; we are allowing our readers to VOTE on the issue.
