Grassley part of 'scary' Family group

In one of the scariest non-fiction books I've ever read, “The Family,” Sen. Chuck Grassley is described as a member of “The Family,” a secretive group of pseudo-Christian Dominionists.
Dominionists believe that the United States and its subordinate governments should be populated with and run by their kind of Christians.
I don't know about you, but I have never been too enthused with the Iranian/Taliban models of religion-controlled government, and this back-door takeover scheme sounds worse.
The secular model that Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, George Washington and Thomas Paine (plus many others) created and instituted has served our country very well.
I believe our conservative senator has crossed the line to radical and needs to be retired. Please vote for Roxanne Conlin to maintain our democracy.
