Ernst right choice for Senate

As we approach the election, I believe that greedy billionaires have contributed more money to the campaigns of Democratic politicians than they did to the campaigns of Republicans.
If they are successful they will allow President Barack Obama to continue to use the Internal Revenue Service, National Security Agency and Justice Department to combat all who oppose his use of presidential orders to change laws, allow illegal immigrants who are convicted felons to remain in the U.S. and receive welfare, educational benefits, and medical care at taxpayer expense.
If these liberal billionaires can keep Harry Reid in control of the Senate they will help Obama consolidate his power over everybody's medical care, send more American tax money and control to the United Nations, while converting our economy to socialism.
If we elect Joni Ernst to be the next Senator from Iowa we will improve our chances of avoiding having a politically appointed board decide how we will be treated if or when we get cancer or have a severe heart attack, have our government declare bankruptcy, or someday accept Sharia Law.
