Government is not being truthful

The pre-election cycle is in full swing and once again, as was the case with the Benghazi attack, our government is not being truthful with us with the extremely dangerous Ebola virus outbreak.
The administration in Washington, D.C., with Representatives Bruce Braley and Dave Loebsack in lockstep, is withholding information.
They are telling us there's little to be concerned about, and that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has this highly contagious viral infection under control. Yet one person, who got here undetected, has died after exposing Texas residents, two of them being nurses, one of which exposed others on a flight. Every day, a new frightening Ebola revelation is discovered - that's control?
This follows on the heels of the International Revenue Service, National Security Agency, scandals and the needless rise of ISIS in the Middle East.
Those elected officials who have voted with this administration, often in opposition to the general public's desires, need to be denied our continued support at the polls this Nov. 4.
