Ed Fallon's Scary Money Tour Hits Iowa This Week
From Fallon for Governor
www.fallonforgovernor.com
Halloween
is right around the corner and over the next few days you’ll be
confronted with more and more scary things. It’s the time of year when
ghouls, ghosts, witches, werewolves, monsters and magicians are all
about us.
But
politics has become a pretty scary place, too. It’s scary to see the
interests of everyday Iowans ignored. It’s even scarier to know the
reason. Our political system has been bought and paid for by political
action committees, special interest groups and corporate lobbyists. The
government that was created to represent all of us increasingly
represents primarily those who can afford a big campaign donation or a
high-priced lobbyist. Being powerless and forgotten is scary. Big money
in politics is scary.
But big
money should be afraid, too, because organized people can beat organized
money. Change is on the horizon. We need to elect leaders who will
fight for government that’s not bought and paid for. We need to elect
leaders that will fight for government that doesn’t put wealthy
corporate interests ahead of public interests. We need to come together
as Iowans, regardless of differences in gender, race, age, party
affiliation or wealth.

A NEW WAY TO HELP:
Over the
past few weeks, as our new staff members have moved in, we’ve found
ourselves in a bit of a crunch for desk chairs and computer time. If
you or someone you know can lend us either a computer or a place to sit
while working at one, please e-mail us and let us know.
