Dave Loebsack will be holding a press conference tomorrow at the Iowa City Public Library at 3:00.
Loebsack plans on talking about the priorities of the new Democratic controlled Congress which include making college more affordable by cutting student-loan interest rates in half, lowering the cost of prescription drugs by directing Medicare Part D officials to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies for better prices, repealing tax breaks and other multi-billion dollar subsidies for Big Oil and invest in alternative sources of energy, and raising the federal minimum wage to $7.25 an hour.
Here is the information on the press conference...
TELL CONGRESS TO CHANGE AMERICA NOW!

If you live in the Second Congressional District, please use this opportunity to thank your newly elected representative, Dave Loebsack, for pledging his support to the Change America Now agenda. On Thursday December 21, Rep.-elect Loebsack will join ICAN, AFSCME (American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees), and other Iowa groups involved in Change America Now at a press conference to launch the campaign. The press conference will be held at the Iowa City Public Library, and will begin at 3 pm.
A final thought: isn’t it nice to be fighting for something that’s really positive and rooted in our values – and that can actually get passed in the Congress – instead of just saying “No” to the latest atrocious policy to come out of the Bush administration?
If you would like more information on the Change America Now campaign, or want to know how you can help, please contact ICAN.
In solidarity,
The ICAN staff
