Here is what Chuck Grassley thinks about middle class taxpayers:
MAKE HIM PAY
Give $5, $10 or $20 to for Iowa State Senate candidate Todd Wendt who is trying to flip a Republican seat in Sioux City on December 12.
After working for students, parents, employees, board members, and communities the past 34 years, I am ready to take my commitment to working for others to another level. I want to work at the policy level to restore the legislative commitment to providing a quality public education for all, implementing responsible fiscal and tax policy, protecting the rights of individuals, and working together on Iowas priorities.
I am running for Senate District 3 in order to make a difference in the lives of the people in Plymouth and Woodbury counties at the state legislative level.

(94,729 posts)There are hundreds of State legislative seats we'll need to flip nationwide in 2018. And you don't have infinite cash to spend (and despite my resources, neither do I). So you need to make informed choices about where to put those funds. But unless Charles Grassley is running for a State Senate seat, anger at him is no reason to contribute to a State Senate candidate that I'm willing to bet you know nothing about. Does he have the remotest chance of winning? Is there a candidate with a better chance that your money could go to? Or are you just doing this to feel good?

(9,090 posts)university of Iowa 4 and Iowa St. 1, support 5 limbaugh/grassley/trump talk radio stations by broadcasting sports on them - they have no excuse not to start looking for apolitical alternatives that don't do global warming denial, try to defund public ed, and help elect pols like grassley and push their agenda.
if the grassley campaign would pay $1000 or an hour infomercial/advertisement on one of those stations they're each worth $1000 x 15hrs/day x 5days/week = $75,000/week FREE for grassley or x5 = $375,000/week or $1,500,000/MONTH FREE for grassley.
all of that endorsed with the university brands/logos/mascots.
malke it an issue. get the students to help. the GOP will freak out and media will notice. if it catches on with other unis advertisers will quit all rw radio and it would destroy their monopoly.
if the uni admins protest, ask them this - if the kkk bought those stations what would the university do? that's not far off.
