Folks - we will need help defeating Grassley
I put this in the presidential forum because I believe Grassley as done more to hose this president than any other senator.
Grassley's seat is up this year and we need to remove this cancer and replace him with one of three fine democrats who are running to replace him, Roxanne Conlin, Tom Fiegen or Bob Krause.
I just came from a Grassley open meeting and had to scrape the lies off even to fit through the door at the end.
I will keep DU periodically informed of the status of the race, but I will be up front - Grassley is loaded with corporate money and he will be tough to beat.

Thanks in advance.

1. I heard the teabaggers and fundies don't love him anymore...
That they're supporting some third-party lunatic or someone else in the primaries.

True?

3. They don't love him, but so far I have seen no challengers
Lord knows he is trying to do his best to appeal to them.
Grassley is such a mainstay I doubt he could be taken out as a Repug, but I would surely encourage anyone to do so.

6. I suggested that we do a letter writing campaign.
Maybe if we all praise Grassley for working so well with the Dems, the Teabaggers would boot him out.
