Miller-Meeks would be a good choice

Dave Loebsack has not represented my thoughts, beliefs or specific requests. Since the Obama/Pelosi/Reid era began, I have never heard so much discontent with our federal government.
The major problem stems from the Obama/Pelosi/Reid steamroller, which acts as if it believes it doesn't have to listen to the American people. Unfortunately for those of us in the 2nd District, this steamroller has been fueled by Loebsack.
Consider the health care bill. Dave sounds as if he is actually proud of it! While it may have some desirable aspects, it has showstopping flaws (larger government, greater cost, reduced benefits) in the opinion of most Iowans with whom I have spoken.
I requested that Dave do what he could to begin enforcing our existing immigration laws now. Part of his reply, “ ... but I don't believe in rushing the process ...”
He is unwilling to begin enforcement of the border laws until the details of dealing with the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants already here are worked out. That could take years. Some believe we should have term limits for our elected representatives. We do have them! It is up to you and I to impose them.
We can limit Loebsack to two terms by voting for a great alternative, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who will do everything she can to lessen the negative impacts imposed upon us by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid/Loebsack regime.
