They raised six kids in a small, twobedroom house. We didnt know politicians. We didnt talk politics. When my this family hit rockbottom during the depression just a few months before i was born, my dad was out of work, he had been mining coal for most of his life. There was no work, there were no jobs. He had five kids with another on the way me. Life looked pretty dim. Life looked pretty hopeless. But then one day he got a card in the mail. He always later said that he got a card from Franklin Delano or roosevelt himself. He got a card in the mail for him to report to work at once for 40. 30 per month on the works project administration. [laughter] [applause] [applause] the project was over here no

Call the bridge backward inquality in this country not seen since the 1920s. Iowans dont want to go quackward. We do not want a tea Party Senator who says she wants to abolish the department of ducation and repeal the cainer act, and privatize medicare. Now, friends, joanienst is known for what she does to hogs. [laughter] but i got to tell you, what scares me is what she wants to do to people. Especially working people, our students, our seniors. She says shes going to go to washington make them squeal. But the last thing we need in the United States senate is another tea party zell other who mocks people, refuses to compromise and gets nothing done for iowa.

Especially the iron dome system. The lives that were saved
