Counter Corporate Attacks and Donate to Iowa Democratic Blogger Approved Candidates

The end of the first fundraising quarter is Monday, March 31st and I thought I'd ask my readers to consider donating to one of the candidates on the Iowa Democratic Bloggers ActBlue page.

The candidates that I would like to ask you to consider donating to are Elesha Gayman, McKinley Bailey, and Eric Palmer. These three candidates have been targeted by a group funded by RJ Reynolds, Mid American Energy, and other corporations. Negative ads have been running throughout their districts on the issues of property tax relief and fair share.

These candidates are all serving in their first term in the Iowa House and are top targets by state Republicans. Please chip in to help these great candidates counter the corporate funded attacks and win re-election this November.

Click here to donate.

Yes, and I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that they all voted to line the pockets of labor unions at the expense of tax payers about 10 days ago.

They are going to have a lot of problems explaining that one away. :)

The bill would only open up certain things for negotiations. People understand that if you negotiate for something, you will likely have to give up something in return. Many times in negotiations both sides know the resources available and they are simply negotiating how those will be allocated.

The proposed changes would give public employees the same rights in collective bargaining as private employees have. I don't know why Republicans think that public employees are second class citizens and don't deserve the same rights as private employees?

The facts are that Bailey, Palmer and Gayman are three of our hardest working reps. I am glad we have them.
They are being targeted not because of how they voted, but because the IRP thinks they have a chance to beat them.

Kinda sad there Don...but I guess a Republican cant change his stripes
