Great Day for Iowa! Hate Loses!

Fair-minded Legislators stand strong: BIG win for Iowans!

Resisting divisive attempts by the extreme right, the Iowa House blocked movement on a Constitutional amendment that aimed to take away the freedom to marry in Iowa. With your help, our fair-minded legislators stood strong, voting 54-44 to get back to work on issues of common concern to Iowa families!

Call to Action: Don't Let The Haters Bully Us re Gay Marriage!


You've probably received a robocall from Iowa's former Lt. Gov. Sally Pederson about One Iowa's campaign to fight the lobbyists/haters who are trying to bully the Iowa legislature into allowing a vote on an anti-gay marriage constitutional amendment.

Don't let the haters bully those of us who are socially tolerant!

Please contact your legislators now.  Here's a quick and easy webform set up by One Iowa.  Just enter your name and address and your Iowa legislators names will pop up for you.  Thank you.
