Ernst wants to take away freedoms

When Joni Ernst wears her Army uniform she protects the freedom of all Americans. When she puts on her farm clothes she is different.
Ernst fights against the freedom of low income and singles and all Americans to have affordable health care, against women having birth control paid for, against the freedom of low income workers to have a cost of living income, against same sex couples to marry and raise a family. Worse, Ernst signed a pact that takes away the most precious freedom of all Iowans - the freedom of having a senator who is responsible to all Iowans and is independent to all Iowans - not a paid for by big business puppet on strings.
Ask yourself what other freedoms she wants to take away.
