    RESPOND TO REPUBLICAN ATTACKS

    Friday, February 12, 2010

    Last week, Governor Culver signed Executive Order #22 to stand up for hard-working Iowans who deserve good jobs with high-paying wages.

    Hours later, every one of the Republican candidates for governor used the executive order as an opportunity to attack Iowa's working families. They even went so far as to call them a "special interest." We know they are using heated political rhetoric to try to win over voters in this year's Republican primary.

    We can't let their misguided rhetoric stand. We've drafted an op-ed supporting Governor Culver's work to create high-paying jobs with good benefits. We are asking you to add your name to the statement and stand up for the hard-working Iowans that Governor Culver is fighting for everyday.

    Add your name to our op-ed as a citizen co-signer and help fight back against the negative, outlandish, do-nothing rhetoric of the Republican candidates.


    Governor Culver has made it clear that we face a choice this election: we can either continue to move Iowa forward, or we can return to the failed policies of the past.

    The Republican candidates have shown they are determined to put a stop to our work moving Iowa forward.

    We can't let that happen. Today, we are investing in Iowa's economy by building new roads and strengthening our infrastructure. We are providing tens of thousands of Iowa's children with greater access to pre-school and health care. And Governor Culver is standing up for Iowa's working families by creating good paying jobs with good benefits.

    Our state can't afford to undo the progress we've made. We need your help to make sure our friends and neighbors know that Governor Culver and Lt. Governor Judge are on the side of hard working Iowans.

    Add your name as a citizen co-signer of our op-ed and show that you stand with Governor Culver as he fights for hard-working Iowans. Here is the link:  http://action.chetculver.com/signUp.jsp?key=3137
