Iowa Defense Alliance

This past Saturday i got to meet Tom Shaw a U.S.  Navy veteran who is running  Independently for Iowa House of Representatives District 8.  An Independent Choice to Represent your voice. He sat down with a group of us from IDA and told us why he decided to run and what he stands for. I found him to be one of the most down to earth persons running for office i have met in a long time.  I can’t say that enough specially when very few politcians have the time of day for us. I like a person who takes time out and make a 8 hour drive to sit down with people and talk about issues thats concerning them.  Not just a cheap  handshake and say vote for me cause i am gonna promise you everthing and come through with nothing for you but what i do come through with you will pay for along time. The people who are representing us now i feel have lost so much touch with the people  in their districts its not funny. They are so concerned at maintaining outside Iowa interests they have ignored the people of Iowa that they represent. Once they get elected its on to their own agenda and to heck with the things that needs fixed until they can’t be ignored anymore. They keep enlarging the government and budget in Iowa yet they ignore the fact its well more than the state brought in. Tom is like me in ways, hes fed up with the way Iowa  has been run and is gonna  to do something about it.

I believe that if District 8 elects Tom Shaw they will have someone that will be there fighting to protect their rights and will have someone their district can count on. He knows Iowa can’t continue to keep up their reckless spending. He is tired of rural Iowans being ignored by our representives to represent outside the state activists and lobbyists. He stands for traditional values that are being erroded and lost and pledges to defend Iowa and restore and maintain our rights. I enjoyed our time with Tom and wish we had a person in our district who would take time to visit people in their districts and see and hear from Iowans what they are tired and fed up with and what concerns them. He plans on going  door to door to meet with people of  District 8 so you should be prepared for a knock on your door from a Iowan that cares and is tired of way things are going. It was a pleasure meeting with Tom.  Thanks Tom for taking time  to meet with us  and i look forward to you defending Iowans soon.
