Tonight, I attended an Iowa Christian Alliance dinner event in Orange City tonight and I was very impressed. This certainly isn't the first ICA event I've ever attended, but I was very pleased by the quality of the event and the organization. A major kudos to new ICA organizer Jessica Anderson, a veteran of the Brian Kennedy and Tom Latham campaigns, for recruiting a really good crowd and for a very smooth order of operations. It was a very professional event. Bob Vander Plaats was the emcee of the event and as always, he really is a truly inspiring man. Please Bob, run for something soon again. Eight candidate representatives (in some cases, MANY from each campaign) were there representing Mitt Romney, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Tom Tancredo, Duncan Hunter, Tommy Thompson, Mike Huckabee, and Sam Brownback. Nobody from Ron Paul, Jim Gilmore, John Cox, or anybody else. Certainly no Democrats to be found anywhere. Their featured guest this evening was Dr. Laurence White, a pastor from Houston, TX. He truly did give a fire and brimstone speech about the importance of voting and behaving like a Christian. A very talented speaker who truly does have an ability to command an audience. Overall, a nice crowd and a nice event.
