Jan. 22 marks the anniversary of the Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision. I pray that everyone, no matter what side of the issue they are on, take time to think about the impact that decision has had on pregnant women, fathers, grandparents and our American society. I think that we can all agree that that decision is a society-changing issue. Maybe after deep contemplation with an open mind you may realize that the United States Supreme Court decision did not help build a culture of life which recognizes the dignity and value of every life including those in the womb.

Contributing Writer To Sen. Grassley, I am writing today to plead with you to please hold Donald Trump accountable by supporting impeachment. He has tried to throw democracy “under the bus” so that he can stay in power, with his false claims of an illegal election. You have to know that there is not one iota of proof of any election wrongdoing. Even your Republican governors and election officials have deemed these election proceedings as fair and just.

The debt is getting too big. We can’t leave a debt for our grandchildren.” After four years of putting up with Trump’s lies, his corruption, trying to conduct a coup by overturning the election, and finally, with Trump orchestrating a seditious insurrection, Republicans like Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley are suggesting, “We have to move on, look forwa...

Contributing Writer I would like to join Iowa Democratic Minority Leader Todd Prichard in calling for all the Iowa Lawmakers to join together in unity to heal our state. Over 4,100 are Iowans dead out of 300,000 diagnosed cases of COVID-19, but the Iowa Legislature has no mask mandate. Governor Reynolds did not acknowledge Trump’s defeat in November until this month. State Representative Dean Fisher from Tama County remarked on his Facebook page, “We will survive. Remember our side has the guns, the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.” After five people died at the insurrec...
