Family Security Matters » Publications » Could Iowa Signal the Tipping Point Against Rapid ‘Change’?: "Here in the heart of the heartland in Sioux City, Iowa a “pitchfork mentality” is emerging. In a town that has stockyards and a meatpacking company that yields what locals call “aroma alley,” the Republican base, which has been in retreat since the presidential election, is energized and the Democratic majority is growing angry at its own leaders.

Two issues have emerged as critical: a government plan to prevent the deductibility of state taxes on the federal tax form and a state Supreme Court decision to mandate homosexual marriages.

If subject to a vote, these proposals would lose 85 to 15% according to recent polls. Yet the state court is seemingly oblivious to public sentiment and is intent on making the law rather than interpreting it. And the Democrat majority in the legislature anticipates a revenue windfall if the tax proposal passes, a windfall it cannot resist."

Another shining example of representatives that do not represent.
