Iowa Republican Senators, Representatives and candidates for those positions have just received a beautiful election year issue: The protecting of Iowa's Right to Work status. The question is, will Republicans forcefully utilize this to our advantage. I sure hope so or else there will be a lot of Republican political and legislative leaders who are going to find themselves a very angry group of grassroots Iowans. I can assure you that this is one issue that will rally the troops if the Generals in Des Moines are ready to don the armor and pick up the jousting sticks. While it is true that this proposed amendment does not explicitly come right out with the anti-Right to Work language like last year's bill, make no mistake about it, this is a clever away of at least getting more than just a foot in the door.
