John Kerry to be in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City JohnKerry.com
I know your commitment to our country and to Iowa's proud tradition of grassroots activism.
Today, we need Iowa Democrats like you more than ever. Washington Republicans have set this country on a failed course. The only way we can reverse it is to elect more Democrats in 2005 and 2006. And that is where you come in.
This Sunday, October 9th I hope you will join me as I travel to Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City in support of Democratic candidates, local Democratic parties and leading progressive organizations.
Our first stop will be in Des Moines on Sunday morning for a coffee with two groups who are dedicated to electing more Iowa Democratic women across the state. We will gather at 10:00 AM at the A'Dong Restaurant to raise awareness and funds to support their great work.

We will then travel to Cedar Rapids to support my friend Justin Shields, a candidate for Cedar Rapids City Council. Justin's election is just a month away and we want to do everything we can to get out the word out about his impressive record as a community leader. Bring your family down to the Veterans Memorial Stadium Picnic Pavilion and join Justin and me at 1:30 PM for a neighborhood gathering. There will be food and fun for everyone.

Our last stop will be in Iowa City for an important organizational meeting of the Johnson County Democratic Party. They are already hard at work in Johnson County, preparing for elections in 2006 and building an impressive grassroots network that will hold Republicans accountable. Please join me and Johnson County Chair Sarah Swisher at the Elizabeth Tate High School Library on Sunday.

I am inspired by the grassroots energy among Iowa Democrats as the 2005 and 2006 elections approach. I hope you can join me on Sunday to provide support for these important causes.
Thank you for all you have done and all you will do in the future.
Sincerely,
John Kerry
