Don't Stand on the Sidelines
For nearly 15 years, Republicans have controlled the legislature and Governor's office in Iowa; and what do they have to show for it?
-
Two-thirds of our counties are losing their populations and quality of life
-
Public schools are closing and teachers are under attack
-
Women's reproductive rights are under attack
-
The rights of workers are being stripped away
-
Hospitals across the state are closing and losing vital services
-
Family farms are being run out of business big agriculture conglomerates
-
Our natural resources are being recklessly polluted or destroyed
-
Small business owners are given nothing, while out of town mega-companies are given huge tax breaks (even when they don't need them or asked for them)
How much more will Iowans allow? We continue our work to bring new leadership; at the statehouse, at the local city halls, on our school board, and in our communities.
The change Iowa needs will happen as more of us get involved. That's why we invite you to join the West Des Moines Democrats.
