I received additional info to post except about the fundraiser...too late on that.............so here goes:

This email is late, but if you're not aware of who Kent Sorenson is, I ask that you keep reading. Kent is important to Iowa's political future, so whether you live in central Iowa or not, his campaign deserves your attention and statewide support.

Kent is running for state senate in District 37. The seat is currently held by Stacy Appel, whose husband is an Iowa Supreme Court justice.

Earlier this year, Appel submitted a study bill which became Senate File 227 under a committee on state government. That bill would pledge Iowa's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. That means that Iowans would abandon the electoral college system and let the coastal urban areas determine our vote for us. Not only would presidential candidates stop visiting Iowa, but voting for presidential candidates would be a complete waste of time. You would have no say in who became president. Iowa would just do whatever the rest of the country did.

If you want your vote to count, Appel needs to go. She's not very strong. She only won her district seat with 50% of the vote and a margin of just 772 votes. Her opponent in 2006 was relatively unknown and underfunded.
