Take Action

Here's a list of actions you can take to help make Iowa a better place to work and live for our families.

• Don't Double Student Loan Interest Rates!
  Federal student loan rates are set to double on July 1 unless Congress intervenes. Iowa families shouldn't have to worry over rising tuition and student debt. Call on Iowa's delegation to take action!
• Join the Scott Walker Truth Squad!
  Governor Branstad is "inspired" to follow Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's lead. His inspiration would spell disaster for working and middle class Iowans. Help us share the truth about Scott Walker's dangerous policies!
• Say Thank You to Tom Harkin
  Thank Senator Harkin for his progressive leadership for all Iowans!
• Senator Guth: Apologize for comparing Homosexuality to Second Hand Smoke
  On April 17, Senator Dennis Guth compared homosexuality to the negative impacts of second hand smoke in our society. Tell him to apologize immediately.
• Tell Matt Schultz to Stop Playing Politics with our Right to Vote!
  After months of telling Iowans a Voter ID law is about protecting voters, Matt Schultz admitted that Voter ID is really about scoring political wins for conservatives. Tell him our right to vote is more important than his partisan agenda.
• Tell Pat Grassley: Voting is an American Principle
  Rep. Pat Grassley introduced legislation removing the requirement to teach students how to vote, and instead wants to teach them the "principles of American citizenship." Tell Pat Grassley voting IS an American principle!
• Tell Rep. Forristall: Stop Hiding ALEC from Iowans
  Rep. Greg Forristall is hiding ALEC's activities from Iowans, despite his claim that he wants a "participatory" process. Tell him to release information about ALEC's secretive activities!
• Tell Terry Branstad: Expand Medicaid for Iowa!
  We support Medicaid Expansion for Iowa. Governor Branstad's refusal will cost lives and money. We cannot afford to wait, we must expand Medicaid now.
• Women seeking medical help don't belong behind bars.
  Tell Rep. Tom Shaw: women seeking medical help don't belong behind bars. Neither do their doctors.
• Tell Steve King to Apologize for Politicizing the Boston Marathon Bombing
  After the tragic bombing at the Boston marathon on Monday, Steve King used it as an excuse to try and delay a vote on comprehensive immigration reform. Tell him to apologize immediately.
• Tell your congressman to condemn Rep. King's dehumanizing bill and comments.
  Last week, King introduced the "Birthright Citizenship Act of 2013" to restrict the rights of immigrant children, in contradiction with the Constitution. If that wasn't outrageous enough, he called them "anchor babies."
