Some of the most pressing issues confronting Iowans today:
1. Protect the integrity of our elections, when un-corrputed it undergirds the framework of a free society.
2. Educate our children in history, math, science, reading, writing (including cursive), the "basics"
- restore parental choices
- restore LOCAL control, including curriculum, school lunches, all aspects of schools
- leave "health" education to parents (stop encouraging under-age sex)
3. Support strong families, parental leadership and responsibility which will lessen the need for more "mental health" services.
4. Restore State Sovereignty by gradually decreasing Iowa's dependence on Federal dollars (giving us back our own money).
5. Hold elected and appointed government employees to a MORAL standard, not just a legal one. (example: using one-time dollars to fund on-going programs in State government was a "legal" way to get around Iowa's mandated spending limit, but was un-ethical and largely went unnoticed for years under Democrat control).
6. Expect government to act as efficiently as possible when entrusted with public funds.
7. Stop penalizing success, instead encourage hard work, success, investment and achievement. Restore the "American Dream."
These things are attainable, if we educate our friends, family, neighbors. We have much work to do.

Vicki's family visited Mt. Rushmore in June 2012.
Some timeless words from some great Americans;
(history can be one of our greatest teachers if we will remember it).
"You cannot help the poor
by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak
by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity
by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up
by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man
by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage
by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them
what they could and should do for themselves."
- President Abraham Lincoln
President John F. Kennedy would no longer recognize today's Democrat Party. Once a party who honored God and Country now votes to remove God from their party platform. Kennedy's timeless words must be spoken, until we remember and apply his theme to our daily lives:
"Ask Not what your Country can do for you,
ask what you can do for your Country."
-President John F. Kennedy
