We could not be more excited to join her campaign. We have no doubt that history will be made when the former first lady becomes the first woman from Iowa to be elected to Congress.  We are delighted for the opportunity to take back our state from King, otherwise known as Mr. Tea Partier extraordinaire, darling of the right-wing wackos.  Yes, the same Steve King who thinks people should be treated like livestock and wants a return to McCarthyism. The same Steve King who in the middle of a severe economic recession with thousands of Iowans out of work, said, “Congress shouldn’t focus on the economy, but rather culture.”  Seriously.  He said it. He believes it.  Look it up. 

Then run as fast as you can to the nearest Vilsack for Iowa office and volunteer to help this campaign.  Or go to her campaign website right now at ChristieVilsackforIowa.com, make a contribution and give them your e-mail address.

Most believe and we agree that Vilsack will be a formidable opponent for King. As we have said
previously on Blog for Iowa, when Christie Vilsack sets her mind to do something, she gets results.

We hope that progressives across the state of Iowa and nationally will join the fight to help Christie
Vilsack defeat an extremist congressman who is out of touch with average Iowans. King enjoyed having the former 5th district GOP fiefdom all to himself for too long with  no accountability. Now that he has to compete in the real world, we predict that his mean-spirited right wing ways will be exposed and will prove to be unsustainable.  We can all help the new District 4 send a sane, rational person to represent Iowa in congress.

Please stay tuned and check out our “He said what?” widget currently under construction on the right sidebar for easy access to King quotes you can use in your letters to the editor. 

Thank you, Christie Vilsack!
