As dark as it may seem for the republican party of Iowa, it is also an incredible opportunity. This state has been suffering for too long under bad leadership.

We are witnessing History being made in the Iowa Senate. Iowa Gop has a supermajority, but its management has nevertheless been completely overwhelmed by the Democrats on a Bill in an eminent domain. This will end the careers of certain high politicians who have worked against the interests of their voters and launch the career of those who were on the right side.
This is not attributable to an informed maneuver on the part of the Democrats. They just learned to “never interfere with your enemy while he makes a mistake”.
This fiasco is the direct result of the incompetence, arrogance and the terrible direction of the President of the State Republican Party Jeff Kaufmann. Many of them were in the grip for Summit Carbon Solutions and the hundreds of millions of dollars that the contemptible company has already spent, in order to build a CO2 pipeline that no one wanted. It is a whole feat when you consider that it has not yet posed a single yard of pipeline in the ground!
Nevertheless, Summit and his politicians worked tirelessly to grasp private land of their voters and neighbors.
We could attend the last days of the Terry Brantad-Bruce Cabale Rasteter which has dominated Iowa policy in the past 40 years. It is a cause of celebration.
It is not an accident that the quality of life of most rural iowans and small cities has deteriorated significantly over the past four decades, while these people were enriched by consolidating the pork industry, documents with large batteries and manufacturers of pesticides, and a general degradation of life standards that have resulted in explosive growth in the population cities are economical and ventilated.
Career politicians such as Governor Kim Reynolds, the head of the majority of Senate Jack Whitver and State Senator Mike Bousselot exchanged their integrity Donations of Bruce Rastter from Summit. In return, they blocked any attempt at pipeline opponents to hear on the Senate soil, even if the anti-pipeline bills were Massively pass through the iowa house.
Reynolds chose the three members of the Iowa Utilities Board, the committee that would end up Decide the approval of the pipeline permit.
Everything seemed to go to Summit until last year, when the southern Dakota voted on a dozen Legislators conveyed to mid-term elections. It was the opposite of what happened in Iowa, where each pro-pipeline candidate (all holders) was re-elected. The Southern Dakota movement led to An anti-eminent law in the field adopted earlier this year This actually killed the Summit plan to connect the Iowa to the North Dakota.
Fortunately, a group of 12 courageous senators from the state of the Iowa has now taken up position and demanded that the eminent question of the estate be discussed on the prosecution of the Iowa Senate. The 12 -year -old group held up and said they refuse to adopt a bill on the state budget until a vote on the eminent domain reaches speech.
Feeling an opportunity, the Democrats of the Iowa Senate are now held alongside group of 12 and forcing a debate on an eminent area. They now have the votes to block a budgetary vote and force the hand of Iowa Gop. It is the worst nightmare of the GOP management.
Bousselot had been considered a leading candidate for the post of governor until this confrontation occurs. But how can he direct the State if he cannot even adopt a budget? He is now taken between his political ambitions and the requirements of his great Donors AG.
Meanwhile, Reynolds, to who Rasteter “donated” more than $ 170,000is now a lame duck and One of the least popular governors in AmericaJust like the conservative candidate Brad Sherman’s campaign goes up a gear. Sherman, an ordered minister, could become the first governor of Iowa for decades to bring Christian principles to the office.
As dark as it may seem for the republican party of Iowa, it is also an incredible opportunity. This state has been suffering for too long under bad leadership. An epic defeat, like the one that currently takes shape on the Iowa Senate prosecution, could end the career of anyone who has linked its future to the top, to the raster and the abominable co2 pipeline.
We currently see real leaders intervening on the Senate soil to properly represent their voters. If the iowans want an overview of the real leadership, it’s time to know them:
- Senator Kevin Alons
- Senator Doug Campbell
- Senator Rocky Dewitt
- Senator Lynn Evans
- Senator Dennis Guth
- Senator Mark Lofgren
- Senator Mike Pike
- Senator Dave Rowley
- Senator Sandy Salmon
- Senator Dave Sires
- Senator Jeff Taylor
- Senator Cherielynn Westrich
It is time for a new generation of leaders in Iowa. Here is a list of possibilities.
