Vote Republican to get nation on track

Bruce Braley claims that he votes 95 percent of the time and gets things done 'for” Iowa. Voting often doesn't mean compliance with the U.S. Constitution.

The current Freedom Index, featured every quarter in The New American news magazine, reveals that like Dave Loebsack's, Braley's votes disregarded the Constitution 80 percent of the time, thus they both worked 'against” Iowa and our nation. What disgraceful and unpatriotic voting records.

Outside PACS are spending millions trying to buy the election for Braley. Their false attack ads accuse Joni Ernst's common-sense, constitutionally-based ideas of being extreme when in reality, they and Braley are the extremists. They accuse the Libertarian Koch brothers of trying to buy the election for Ernst while Braley receives millions from California billionaire environmentalist, Tom Steyer, who opposes the Keystone pipeline to protect his own agenda. No wonder Braley voted against it.

They accuse Ernst and Blum of wanting to privatize Social Security and invest it in the stock market. Anyone should know that IPERS invests in the stock market and remains very viable, whereas the Social Security fund is depleted and runs on borrowed money.

The Republicans have an excellent slate of candidates consisting of Joni Ernst, Rod Blum, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Terry Branstad, Paul Pate and others.

Let's get our nation and Iowa back on track by voting Republican this time around for common sense, decency, constitutional government and patriotism.
