*** ACT NOW TO HELP US MAKE A LOT OF NOISE BEFORE THE NEXT LEGISLATIVE SESSION! ***

January of 2025 marks a critical time in our fight for change against Senate File 345 and we need to blow up these legislators and let them know our frustrations with its shadowed passing! Reach out to the leadership of Iowa below and let them know how this bill will impact you and your business, your loved ones and their livelihoods or others you may know operating in the state and that you are not in support of its passing nor how it was passed!

Remember to be cordial as we are dealing with respected individuals of the state and touch on critical talking points like taxation without representation, supporting imported goods over American manufactured goods, denying medical patients the ease of access to be able to use the necessary apparatuses for their medication and then taxing them to death for using a state sanctioned medicine, the impact to small and local businesses and artists, breaching creative freedom to the artist, the demonization of American tradesmen, the attack on the local small business and a Republican key definer stomping on the fight for a free market among other key points.

If you can copy and share this info to your social medias to aid in our fight we would greatly appreciate it! you can also join the cause by adding your voice to our coalition at the link below!
