Consider who Grassley works hard for

Chuck Grassley claims he works hard for Iowans.
How true, if by “Iowans” he means the pharmaceutical companies who are guaranteed freedom from competition by the Part D legislation engineered by Grassley, at a cost to U.S. taxpayers of about $400 billion.
How true, if by “Iowans” he means companies who ship jobs overseas and receive tax breaks for doing so, with those tax breaks supported six times by Grassley.
A U.S. senator is expected to work hard. The important question is “whom do they work for”?
It's time to allow Chuck Grassley time to work hard at retirement, and time to elect Roxanne Conlin to the U.S. Senate, where she will truly work hard for Iowans.
