Loebsack to Senate Republicans: Don't Let Politics Kill Wind Energy

By Rick Martin

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Dave Loebsack today urged the Republican Leader of the Senate Finance Committee to not let politics harm Iowa's wind energy industry and include the Production Tax Credit (PTC) for wind energy in legislation to extend expiring tax programs.  Despite the strong bipartisan support of the PTC, according to reports, political pressure from the Republican Presidential Nominee led Republicans to strip the critical job creating tool from the package.

"The PTC has strong bipartisan support in both chambers, including the entire Iowa Delegation.  Congress should not let politics get in the way of taking action on a critical tax credit that is in the best interest of the country and the economy," said Loebsack.  "Pulling the rug out from under an industry that has been striving successfully to employ Americans and provide clean energy during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression makes little sense.  I respectfully urge you to act now to extend this critical job-creation tool, not let politics dictate policy on this important matter."

Loebsack has been a longtime supporter of wind energy.  He has visited wind energy plants across Iowa to see firsthand the need for stability that an extension of the Production Tax Credit would provide and has repeatedly urged the House and Senate leadership to protect these good Iowa jobs.  Loebsack was also named a USA Wind Champion by the American Wind Energy Association for his ongoing support of wind energy in Iowa and working to extend the PTC.

Justice Department Blocks Voter ID at Every Turn

By Corrine Williams

Below is a recent "Morning Bell" piece from The Heritage Foundation regarding Voter ID.  Senior Legal Fellow Hans Von Spakovsky will be publishing a book on the Voter ID issue.

For example a recent attack on voter ID is occurred in Minnesota, where earlier this month, the state Supreme Court will hear a case filed by the League of Women Voters (LWV).

In League of Women Voters Minnesota v. Ritchie, the LWV is trying to convince the court to remove a referendum question from the November ballot. Its argument is that voters won't be able to understand the ballot question.

This referendum was passed by the Minnesota legislature in April and would amend the state constitution to require all voters voting in person to "present valid government-issued photographic identification before receiving a ballot." The amendment would also require absentee voters to be "subject to substantially equivalent identity and eligibility verification."...read more

Justice Department Blocks Voter ID at Every Turn

People seemingly voting after they've been dead for years. Drug kingpins buying votes from poor people to sway elections. Non-citizens being bussed to the polls and coached on how to vote. Stories of voting fraud are shocking, and states have been taking action to make sure that elections are secure. But the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Eric Holder, has blocked states at almost every turn.

This is the same Justice Department that stopped a non-partisan election reform by arguing that if party affiliation were removed from a ballot, African-American voters wouldn't be able to identify and vote for the Democrats. Holder has continued to stoke the racial fires, calling a requirement for voters to produce photo identification a "poll tax." Heritage expert Hans von Spakovsky said this argument is merely political. "Holder continues to perpetuate the incendiary error to the public, knowing that the poll-tax assertion is a racially charged one that should not be used lightly," von Spakovsky said. He explained:

Even the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals?the most liberal appeals court in the country?did not buy the Holder poll tax claim when it reviewed Arizona's voter ID law. In Gonzalez v. Arizona (2012), the Ninth Circuit held that even though "obtaining the free identification required under [Arizona law] may have a cost," such immaterial costs are not a poll tax.


Holder is now "investigating" Pennsylvania's voter ID law, on the left's charge that it disenfranchises minorities.

Former Congressman Artur Davis, an African-American from Alabama who served in Congress as a Democrat from 2003 to 2011, finds this argument incredibly insulting. Speaking at The Heritage Foundation yesterday, Davis held up his driver's license and said, "This is not a billy club. It is not a fire hose. I used to represent Birmingham and Selma, Alabama, and I know something about fire hoses."

In states that have voter ID laws, the real-world results show that minorities have not been disenfranchised by any means. States that require ID to vote have offered free IDs to anyone who does not have one already. In Kansas, which allows any of nine different forms of ID as proof of identity to vote:

Out of a total of 1.713 million registered voters in Kansas, only 32 people had requested a free photo ID as of May 4, 2012. That represents only 0.002 percent of the registered voters in the state. Of those 32 voters, 80 percent were white, 10 percent were black, and the race or ethnicity of 10 percent was unknown. Thus, there is no evidence that minority voters were disproportionately affected.


Georgia, which has had voter ID since 2007, allows six different forms of ID to vote. And there has been no stampede of would-be voters who lack identification: "The number of photo IDs issued by Georgia to individuals who did not already have one of the forms of ID acceptable under state law is remarkably small, averaging less 0.05 percent in most years, and not even reaching three-tenths of 1 percent in a presidential election year."

What happened to minority voting after the law went into effect? In the 2008 presidential election, Hispanic voting in Georgia increased by 140 percent over the 2004 election. African-American voting increased by 42 percent. That is also a higher rate of increase than in other states without voter ID. Von Spakovsky notes:

The increase in turnout of both Hispanics and blacks in the 2008 presidential election after the voter ID law became effective is quite remarkable, particularly given the unproven and totally speculative claims of the Justice Department that the voter ID requirements of Texas and South Carolina will somehow have a discriminatory impact on Hispanic and black voters. In fact, Georgia had the largest turnout of minority voters in its history.


The evidence that producing photo ID is a burden simply isn't there. "How can it be a burden to ask people to do something they do all the time?" asked Congressman Davis, who said he went to a news organization to do an interview on voter ID and had to produce his driver's license to enter the news organization.

The Justice Department requires ID from visitors as well.

Voter ID battles are not over, and activist groups are trying everything they can think of to challenge these requirements. The Minnesota legislature passed a referendum that placed the question of voter ID on the ballot for citizens to decide. But the ballot question is under litigation because the League of Women Voters has sued, arguing that the question is "misleading" to voters. The Minnesota Supreme Court will be considering it.

In the state of Kentucky, it has become clear that buying votes is a common practice. A person's vote can often be bought for $50. Recently, it has come to light that cocaine and marijuana dealers are using drug money to buy votes and turn elections. According to one report, "In the Eastern District of Kentucky alone, more than 20 public elected officials and others have either been convicted or pleaded guilty in various vote-buying cases just in the last two years."

America cannot allow its elections to be anything but secure and legal. Preventing voter fraud is common sense, and it is outrageous that the U.S. Justice Department would stand in the way.

Press Release from Campaign of Mark Riley for Iowa House District 90

By EINNOC10@aol.com

Mark Riley filed nomination papers today with the Secretary of State's office to be placed on the ballot as an Independent in District 90.  Mr. Riley was the Republican nominee for the State Senate in District 43 in 2010 facing State Senator Joe Seng.

Mark Riley is a locomotive engineer for Canadian Pacific railroad and a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen local 266.  Mr. Riley is a retired Marine Infantry SNCO and is a member of the American Legion post 26 and the Davenport VFW.  He is also a member of the Davenport Family Y.

Mark Riley is married to Elizabeth Riley who is the business manager for the Adler Theater.  They have 3 children, Ethan, Robert and William.  William is a special needs child who graduated Central High school this year and will continue to reside with his parents.

Mr. Riley is running as an Independent whose campaign theme is "for the common good".  He believes that the political system has been broken by special interest money which has led to the extreme polarization of both parties.  This polarization has affected the ability of State and Federal legislatures to function as the Founding Fathers intended.  In his State Senate race in 2010 Mr. Riley was threatened by the Iowa Corn Growers association to support Ethanol or $5000 would be given to his opponent.  Riley continues to oppose Ethanol as  theft from working class families and "stupid" policy even before our current drought,  He feels that Ethanol is an example of how special interest has corrupted our politicians and political system to be unable to respond to "the common good'  of the citizens it is supposed to represent.

The candidate also believes that too much emphasis and resources have been given to rural and small town Iowa and will support initiatives that require the State to spend monies collected in user taxes such as the fuel tax to be spent primarily in the areas in which it was collected.  The candidate feels that Iowa has expanded its Highway system to much and should take federal monies to begin establishing light rail connections to all Iowa's major urban areas.

The candidate supports creating reduced tax zones for Manufacturing Companies in Iowa's large cities so that there is no financial incentive to build or develop in rural Iowa, but rather in Iowa's Cities were infrastructure is already in place.

Mark Riley will advocate for policies that increase the Median Income of Iowa Families that have steadily declined since the 1970's.   The results of High Unemployment and falling wages for families have made our large Cities unable to meet basic needs and staff public servants.

Mark Riley will also run on a position to De-criminalize Marijuana and follows the philopshy of prison reformer Chuck Colson with regard to the over incarceration of our citizens for non-violent crimes.

The Riley Family attends the Harvest Bible Chapel and other churches in the area.

IA, CO, OH and PA Officials Hold Call to Hold Romney Accountable for Opposition to Wind Energy

By Elizabeth Purchia

With Thousands of Jobs at Stake, Pena, Culver and Wind Energy Leaders Praise Obama on Wind

 

DES MOINES - Today, officials from Iowa, Colorado, Ohio and Pennsylvania will hold a conference call to hold Mitt Romney accountable for opposing support for the states' wind industries. As thousands of jobs are at stake with expiration of wind production tax credit, Fmr. Secretary of Energy Frederico Pena, Fmr. Iowa Governor Chet Culver, PA Wind Developer Brent Aldefer, and Mark Shannahan, former head of the Air Quality Development Authority, will draw a contrast between President Obama and Mitt Romney on wind energy.

 

Mitt Romney's "Plan for Jobs and Economic Growth," calls wind and solar, "two of the most ballyhooed forms of alternative fuel."  He said that wind has failed to become "economically viable."  Earlier this month, Romney's campaign confirmed that Mitt Romney would let the wind production tax credit expire [The Hill 7/11/12]. He would let this growing wind industry wither jeopardizing 37,000 American jobs as we compete with countries around the world.

The wind energy industry is critical to each state's economies. The Wind Energy Tax Credit tax is slated to expire at the end of the year and the Obama Administration has called on Congress to renew the credit.

 

Monday, July 30th

11:30 AM CDT

 

WHO: Fmr. Iowa Governor Chet Culver

Fmr. Secretary of Energy Frederico Pena

PA Wind Developer Brent Aldefer

Mark Shannahan, former head of the Air Quality Development Authority

STATEMENT OF ERIC REYES ON SEEKING JUDICIAL REVIEW TO BE PLACED ON THE BALLOT

By Eric Reyes
Candidate for Congress

(Rock Island, IL) - Congressional Candidate Eric Reyes issued the following statement
regarding the current attempt by supporters of millionaire candidate Cheri Bustos to
keep Independent Candidates off the ballot.

"On July 23, 2012 the Illinois State Board of Elections sustained the objections to
our nominating papers due to the number of signatures being less than the 5,000
required by law. This was not a surprise, in fact it was expected. The board is
not empowered to decide Constitutional questions.  It was our contention then,
and now, that our petition met the requirements set forth by Article 3, Section 3 of
the Illinois Constitution, which states in its entirety, "All elections shall be free
and equal." It is also our contention that the signature requirements placed on
independent candidates and the actual or perceived restrictions placed on
circulators of independent candidate petitions and those who would sign them,
taken as a whole, are violative of those rights guaranteed by the Illinois and
United States Constitutions. As such, on July 27, 2012 we ?led a Petition For
Judicial Review with the Sangamon County Circuit Court (Case No. 12 MR 633
attached below) asking the court to reverse the Board ?nding that the nomination
papers are not valid, order them to be determined valid, and that the name Eric
Reyes be printed on the ballot for the November 6, 2012 election, and order that
any disparity in signature requirements, and rules regarding circulators or
signors, be immediately removed from the electoral code and the changes made
retroactively effective to the day the primary was held. Supporters of the
millionaire candidate running on the democratic ticket will now continue to spend
tens of thousands of dollars of private money and thousands of dollars of our
taxpayers' money in a shameful attempt to disenfranchise voters and keep Eric
Reyes off the ballot."

Eric Reyes is a full-time attorney and father from Rock Island, IL. The only lifelong
resident of the district in this election, Reyes graduated from Rock Island High School,
Augustana College, and Northern Illinois University College of Law. He is also a former
Assistant States Attorney.

Iowa Obama Campaign Launches "It Takes One to Get to Six" with Day of Action, Kicking off 60 Day Countdown to Early Voting

By Obama for America Press Office

Obama Campaign Holding Over 170 Events Statewide; Over 4,200 Nationwide

 

DES MOINES - Tomorrow and Sunday, Obama Campaign volunteers in Iowa will participate in an "It Takes One to Get to Six" day of action as part of the "It Takes One" nationwide initiative. The Day of Action begins the 60 day countdown to early vote and the 100 day countdown to Election Day. The campaign is holding canvass kick-off media events in 11 Iowa cities and over 170 events statewide.

 

Last week, First Lady Michelle Obama kicked off the "It Takes One" initiative with a video. Watch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbWk_PYg600. Iowans can find their local canvass at www.barackobama.com/one and follow the canvassing action on Twitter by using the hashtags #ItTakesOne and #60DaysOut.

 

"That one conversation you have, that one new volunteer you recruit, that could be the difference between waking up on November 7th and feeling the promise of four more years or asking yourself, could I have done more?," said First Lady Michelle Obama.

 

This election is a clear choice between President Obama's vision to create jobs, reclaim security for the middle class and restore the basic values that make our country great, and Mitt Romney, who wants to continue tax giveaways to millionaires and billionaires and return us to the failed policies of the past, including letting Wall Street write its own rules.

 

From Council Bluffs to Davenport, volunteers are talking to their neighbors about President Obama's vision for an economy built to last, because they know how much is at stake.

 

"Every single person can make a difference in this election - and this week we're asking supporters to start by taking one action that will help grow our campaign," said Iowa State Director Brad Anderson. "The idea is that if we all commit to doing at least one thing to organize our communities, the combined impact will ensure that this President can keep moving this country forward for another four years."

 

The following events are open to the press:

The Chairman's Report July 26, 2012

By A.J. Spiker
There is a lot of discussion right now in both Washington and Des Moines about raising taxes. The Republican Party of Iowa believe we must continue to be the party for limited government and less regulation. We believe we elected Republicans in order to lower our taxes and restore our individual freedoms.

Please click here to take a quick poll on your stance on taxes in Iowa including the possibility of increasing taxes on all Iowa residents.

Last Thursday the Republican Party of Iowa opened another Victory Office, this time in Dubuque. The office is located at 2600 Dodge Street Unit NW 2, Dubuque, IA 52003. Jason Joseph, runs the Dubuque office so be sure to give him a call to sign up to door knock or make phone calls: 563-503-9107.

At the office opening 1st Congressional District candidate Ben Lange was on hand, as well as all the local candidates and National Committeman Steve Scheffler, to help fire up the crowd.

Volunteering through these Victory Offices is the single best way to help our Republican candidates up and down the ticket this fall, so be sure to sign up at the Victory office closest to you. We are planning future office openings for the next few weeks so be sure to stay tuned!
Dubuque Office Opening- despite what Steve may tell you, I made more calls than him!

Are taxes too high? Do you support raising them? Please click here so we can take your concerns to our Iowa elected officials.

On Friday I issued the call for a Special Nominating Convention for House District 33 in Des Moines. It will take place on Wednesday August 1 at 7 p.m. here at RPI headquarters. Our goal is to have Republican candidates for all seats on the ballot, even in some of the most challenging districts. No Democrat should be running unopposed this fall!

Last week we also announced that 6 young Republicans from Iowa were chosen to attend the National Convention in Tampa as pages. Congratulations to Collin Brecher, (Black Hawk), Thomas Day (Scott), Bradley Hobart (Pottawattamie), Eric Koch (Pottawattamie), Spencer Oh (Story), and Taylor Ryan (Dubuque)!

All of these individuals should be proud of their many accomplishments and I know that they will have an amazing time in Tampa. It is motivated young people like Collin, Thomas, Bradley, Eric, Spencer and Taylor that show just how strong the future of our party is.

And remember, click here to fill out our quick survey designated to hear your opinion on raising taxes in Iowa.


To Victory,

A.J. Spiker
Chairman, Republican Party of Iowa
