The 2008 Iowa Caucuses were extremely successful for the Democratic Party in Iowa. Due to the large numbers of new voter registrations at the caucuses, over 60,000 voters became Democrats.

Right now, Democrats outnumber republicans by 85,000 voters in Iowa.

We Turned Iowa Blue.

Kingwatch: The Information Resource on the Real Steve King

The folks over at The Progressive Democracy Corps have released their new Steve King website: www.kingwatch.org - they're keeping an eye on your congressman.

KingWatch has enough information to make any thinking person sick about the stuff congressman Steve King says and does.

Did you know that Steve King is protecting the cockfighting industry (and has accepted campaign money from their PAC?) Or that King built a model of the anti-Mexican wall he says that he himself would love to build "and make a ton of money."

Just click on the "Quotes" link for a better idea of what our congressman has said. This website is a great resource for any thinking person in the 5th District.
