Hi! I'm Bob Krause, and I am running against Chuck Grassley for US Senate in 2016.
The Iowa Democratic party is yearning for a populist message. People want to break the cycle of stagnant wages that is destroying the middle class and building a permanent underclass in Iowa. Iowa Democratic Party members understand that Senator Grassley is in the forefront of the destruction of middle income America.
* He refuses to raise the minimum wage. 300,000 Iowans earn a minimum wage. It is likely that 70% of them are women. Raising the wage puts pressure on wages above minimum and tends to raise all wages in the column.
* He supported NAFTA, which has cost working Americans an average of $1800 per year.
* He was the architect of the Bush tax cut, which channeled vast new wealth to the 1% while shorting the middle class.
* He attempted to gut the National Labor Relations Board, which is the arbitrator of disputes between unions and employers. It would have allowed employers tto run roughshod over workers and unions.
* He voted against equal pay for women.
Iowans will not allow Senator Grassley to have another term to destroy the Middle Class of Iowa and America!!
Please join me in our fight to save the Middle Class of America. We need to be World Class for our Middle Class!
