Independent voters will decide winner

In November's crucial election, the Independent voter will decide who will be the next U.S. Senator from Iowa. Why the Independent voter? The Democrats and the Republicans will blindly vote for their candidate regardless of qualifications. Based on her qualifications, Joni Ernst was overwhelming elected the Republican candidate in the primary. Bruce Braley qualifications were not tested in the primary because he was anointed Democratic candidate.

Using important facts, the best candidate for our country will be decided by the Independent voter. What are the important facts? If the Republicans gain six seats in the Senate, they can 'fire” Harry Reid. As Majority Leader of the Senate, he is blocking many House bipartisan bills to be voted in the Senate. Because of this, Congress cannot function in a bipartisan way to solve major problems, such as immigration reform. Because of these politically caused stalemates, Congress has the lowest approval rate ever.

So Independent voters, the clear choice is yours: Vote for Ernst to 'fire” Reid, or vote for Braley to 'rubber stamp” Reid and Obama.
