Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America:
You would not believe the crazy things that Joni Ernst -- the extremist Republican running for the all-important Iowa U.S. Senate seat -- has been saying.
Or maybe you would.
The most recent news is shocking:
Joni Ernst said she would support Iowa nullifying Obamacare and arresting any federal officials who try to provide families with affordable health care.
Earlier this year she called President Obama a "dictator" and said that "he should face repercussions" that include "impeachment."
What's even scarier: Joni Ernst may be the person who gives Republicans control of the U.S. Senate. We've got to stop her. Now.
DFA has endorsed progressive Democrat Bruce Braley for this all-important Iowa Senate seat. He needs your help today so he can tell Iowa voters all about Joni Ernst's long record of extreme views. Chip in $3 today to stop Joni Ernst!

Joni Ernst's bizarre rants aren't limited to our president.
She said she supports a plan to slash income taxes on the rich while creating a national sales tax of 23%.
In August she called for abolition of the federal minimum wage, leaving workers at the mercy of right-wing legislatures in red states.
Ernst wants to privatize Social Security and Medicare, raising the retirement age and cutting benefits for younger workers.
She even said that the U.S. found weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Spoiler alert: we didn't.
Joni Ernst thinks she can hide from her extremist views. It's up to us to show that she can't. If Ernst wins, not only could Republicans get a majority in the Senate, but her fellow extremists like Ted Cruz would be emboldened to act on the things Ernst has only dreamed about doing.
Control of the Senate may hinge on this race -- and the polls show it's neck and neck. There's just 30 days left to Election Day. Now is the time to give Bruce Braley a boost.
Chip in $3 today so Bruce Braley and DFA can tell Iowa voters: Joni Ernst is a dangerous extremist who has no place in the U.S. Senate.
