1. Calling all 3rd District Dems in Iowa. Vote for Ed Fallon, not Boswell.

Of course AFSCME endorsed Boswell. He is a Clinton supporter. Boswell needs to go so we can get another true progressive in Congress.

3. I don't know Rob Hubler. Ed Fallon was a great supporter of John Edwards.

I got to know him on a more personal level during the campaign. He walks the walk and is one of the most honest politicians I know.
