Senator Matt McCoy: No More Iowa Nice

http://www.blogforiowa.com/2017/02/21/senator-matt-mccoy-says-no-more-iowa-nice/

The senator takes the gloves off and explains how things are.


They [Republicans] have stopped listening. The only thing they will understand is raw power at the ballot box.


This 1-hour legislative forum was broadcast live Sunday on Facebook. It is safe to watch because there is no screaming and yelling, but there are pointed questions asked in a civil manner and honestly and frankly answered. It is serious, informative, funny, upbeat, real, amazing, and inspiring. Listen to it while you are doing something else on the computer; you will not be sorry. Topics: ALEC and the Koch Brothers, the terrible collective bargaining bill, gerrymandering, confronting GOP lies, Dems’ new campaign strategy, how we will fight back, what they did to beat Gronstal, and much more!

I promise you will not feel demoralized or defeated after watching; you will feel like getting out there and joining the fight.

The forum actually starts at about the 9-minute mark.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to repost this video, so please go to the link and watch. It is about an hour and is very enlightening
