Politicians listen to one thing — political pressure in their districts. Anyone who tells you otherwise, especially if it’s your local legislator, is naïve or trying to sell you something. We’ve seen this time and time again, most recently in our fight to advance Stand-Your-Ground law: grassroots pressure works! That’s why, during the summer and fall months before the 2018 legislative session, Iowa Gun Owners is working overtime trying to
The fake news media and NYC billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s front-group here in Des Moines are actually calling the last session of the Iowa General Assembly a partial victory! When I saw a recent Washington Post report detailing the gun-grabbers so-called “effectiveness” at derailing pro-gun bills nationally -– including right here in Iowa -– I could hardly believe my eyes. What about IGO members’ success in passing Stand-Your-Ground — part of
As a supporter of Iowa Gun Owners, I wanted you to be one of the first to know that we recently received a shipment of 100,000 of our window decals! What’s more, we are giving them away to as many Iowans as we can — absolutely free! All you have to do to receive your decal is click on the link below and sign up, and we will mail it
As the liberal media here in Iowa continues to try to demonize the gun bill that was passed here in Iowa this year, I can hardly wait to see them explode as we push for Constitutional Carry next session! Of course, they are going to scream bloody murder, but all of their bluster and hype will be more of the same FAKE NEWS that you and I have come to
You have just two days. In two days, the ‘early bird’ pricing for our upcoming Political Leadership School being held in Waterloo ends. If you haven’t signed up yet, but have been meaning too, do it right now! But let me warn you: this school isn’t for people who want to schmooze politicians and convince themselves that they are being effective. It’s not a school for people who just want
As we prepare for the 2018 legislative session, I know that the folks at Iowa Gun Owners are already hard at work preparing for an all-out push on Constitutional Carry legislation. Having been in the Senate for seven years now, I can tell you that I’ve never seen a grassroots organization with more effective members than Iowa Gun Owners. The results speak for themselves. Numerous gun control bills blocked. Their
As a member of Iowa Gun Owners, you’ve had a front row seat and played a direct role in defending and expanding our gun rights over the years. You know that when we passed Stand-Your-Ground law this year as part of the biggest gun rights bill in Iowa history — that didn’t happen because of the good graces of the legislature. Rather, it happened only after gun owners bulldozed the
For years, former Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal said, “No!” For years, former Judiciary Chairman Steve Sodders said, “No!” For years, the liberal media here in Iowa smugly said, “No!” All of the ‘cool kids’ in Des Moines have been saying “No” to Constitutional Carry for a long time -– but now it is our turn! The members of Iowa Gun Owners sent a deafening message last year to gun-grabbers
“I NEED one of those shirts, my friend just got one in the mail yesterday and I simply NEED one for an upcoming family event.” So said IGO’s newest member when he called our office yesterday looking to pick up his FREE IGO T-Shirt and decal. In case you forgot, in celebration of Independence Day and our freedoms as American citizens, for the entire month of July ALL new IGO
My attorney advised me not to utter a peep about it until after the case was wrapped up. He told me what I knew all along. That the trumped-up “ethics charges” I was being hit with by Iowa Public Safety Committee Chairman, Clel Baudler — an outspoken opponent of Constitutional Carry — was payback . . . Payback for our success in FORCING the General Assembly to pass Stand-Your-Ground and
