Dear residents of the Great State of Iowa,
I haven’t lived there for four decades now, so this is your decision, not mine. Nonetheless, I have two good reasons to write and urge you to vote for Bruce Braley for the United States Senate seat from Iowa.
Bruce Braley
First, although I no longer live there it will always be where I’m from. When people ask me that question, I am quite proud to tell them Iowa. Whenever I am talking to someone who actually knows where it is, or perhaps even has been there, they think of Iowans as decent people; friendly, mild-mannered, and, above all, sane and rational. You know. Normal folks. The kind you’d like to have as a next door neighbor. If Joni Ernst is elected, that image will be severely tarnished. Some of her crazier statements have already given her a reputation, internationally, as a full on lunatic in the tradition of Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.
Secondly, a United States Senator does more than just represent her own state. He or she is a member of the most powerful legislative body in the world. He or she will have a say in who gets appointed to the Supreme Court. Whether to go to war or not. Important stuff.
We cannot afford to have any more gun waving, global warming denying, Social Security threatening, anti-health care, fanatic tea party ideologues in the Senate, House, or anywhere in American politics. Not only are they a threat to the American way of life, they are a threat to life on Earth, period.
So, please. For the sake of yourselves, the State of Iowa, and the entire human race, vote for Bruce Braley for U.S. Senate on November 4th. He seems like a normal, sane and rational guy.
