The Iowa Party Plants More Seeds at the State Fair

Sat, 08/20/2011 - 22:48

Jonathan Narcisse ran for Governor as an independent in 2010 under the Iowa Party banner.



He has been very busy at the state fair in Des Moines for over a week now, promoting the Iowa Party, the platform for common sense solutions to fix state government and engaging people from all over Iowa.

When asked, "How did you get this booth in the Varied Industry Building?!" The answer was: "Votes in all 99 counties, 1790+ precincts from 20,000 Iowans when we ran for Governor."

From Narcisse's Facebook page this a.m.

"One of the great challenges and the greatest reward at the Fair is showing partisans how both parties have betrayed our trust in service to common masters - greed, power, privilege.

For example, the unions pound pavement and fund the ascension of Culver, Gronstal and Murphy. They couldn't get calls returned. Then the social conservatives help Branstad and Paulson take over. First thing the newly annointed G.O.P. leaders announce - we aren't even going to talk about the judges or abortion.

And this is the pattern. Jim Nussles treasurer is one of Culver's biggest contributors while partisans swear by all that is precious to them to hate the members of the "other side" till their last dying breath expires.

Our children deserve better.

The Iowa Party has a new website: http://www.IowaParty.org

Highlights:

We want Iowa Party members to run as Republicans and Democrats so they can influence the legislative process from within and create bi-partisan coalitions to sway the balance of legislative action in favor of Iowans rather than the vested and special interests that currently own our statehouse.

To Inform & Equip: The Iowa Party will inform and equip Iowans so they can competently fight for effective, efficient and accountable state and local government. This includes conducting forums, training, engaging media throughout Iowa, and producing information tools such as white papers, data tracts, websites and our statewide newsletter – The Oracle.

The Iowa Party is Not: The Iowa Party is not an ideological, single issue driven entity. While we do not want to compete with the two major parties in Iowa for strategic reasons the practical side of it is that we will not get bogged down in the type of selfish activism that has come to dominate governance and legislative focus in Iowa, e.g., is dove hunting really a greaterpriority of Iowans than reforming entitlements that consumed 39.6% of the $13.5 billion the State of Iowa spent in FY 2010?

Iowans, therefore, will be encouraged to continue their ideological and vested interest quests through the two major parties while the Iowa Party focuses on creating effective, efficient and accountable governance at the state and local levels.
