Joni Ernst is fair, experienced leader

Congressman Bruce Braley is poor fit for Iowa. While President Barack Obama's administration indicates the oil pipeline will bring jobs without harming the environment, Braley is against it. Ernst is for jobs.
While health care is deemed a person's choice, Braley pushes for a one-size-fits-all by the government, rather than trusting women and men to make their own capable choice. Ernst favors the individual choice.
While our government uses the Internal Revenue Service for party politics, Braley does nothing to stop the abuse. Ernst intends to get IRS back to managing taxes across the board.
Our government is far from governing and state representatives must take a stand for Iowa and all Americans. Braley does not show any promise to deliver. Ernst is fair, she is an experienced leader, she knows how to take the lead in battle, and she delivers the Iowa values that America needs. We no longer need another administration yes-man. Braley is doing all he can to spin away from Iowa values, from family, hard work, independence, service and leadership. Ernst offers all of these and more. Her commitment has been shown in Red Oak, in Kuwait, in military service, in community involvement, and is desperately needed in the Senate.
Join me and we can work to seat Ernst as Iowa's next senator.
