Veto bill SF 603

No to removing language regarding bullying
What world are living in right now in Iowa? House File 865? Removing any of the language including “gender identity, sexuality, race, political belief and familial status” does absolutely nothing but invite harm to students. Why are they wanting to remove this language other than to invite bullying
“Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth.” Remember the oath you swore and think of all the voices crying out for mercy. The people you serve who are suffering, crying out for help. For a country that shamed North Korea, Russia and China, we sure ar
Town hall schedule
I'm a registered Republican. I know you hate Tim Walz. But at least he's willing to talk to voters. How do you know what Iowans want if you refuse to talk to them? Surrounding yourself with nothing but lobbyists doesn't give you any idea what average Iowans are struggling with and care about.
Protect libraries' advocacy rights through professional associations
House File 880 should not become law, as it would unfairly restrict the ability of libraries to advocate for themselves and their communities through professional organizations like the American Library Association.

Opposition to Funding Reallocation in Senate Bill SF445

Your Raise
I'm the state of Iowa, where the governor has famously and repeatedly argued that the $7.25 minimum wage is just fine, your proposed wage increase for yourselves REALLY enrages me. It's a disgusting money grab while suggesting that the rest of us regular folks can get by on nothing. 80% increase for

Protect Iowa’s Access To Immunization.
I am writing to express my strong opposition to Senate File 360, which seeks to ban mRNA vaccines in Iowa. This legislation is not only scientifically unsound but also threatens public health and restricts individuals' rights to protect themselves from serious infectious diseases. 1 Scientific Evid
Governor Reynolds Should Cooperate with Rob Sand’s Review
Iowans value transparency and accountability. When questions arise about public spending, elected officials should address them swiftly.

Leave Vaccines Alone
Do not take away my right to medical access! If I want to take a vaccine, that is between me and my doctor! The government has no business banning me from safe and effective medical care. You don't want to take a vaccine? Easy! Don't get it. But don't take away my choice. Don't make medical care
Iowa has slipped into more discrimination and darkness thanks to you.
You recently signed into law a bill that removes protections for transgender people in the state’s civil rights code. “Today, I signed into law a bill that safeguards the rights of women and girls”. That is honestly the most blatant lie I have heard in a long while! You are not safeguarding any
No to House Study Bill 216
Limiting SNAP eligibility would deprive low-income Iowans of vital food assistance, exacerbating hunger and poverty. This misguided measure ignores the complex socioeconomic factors behind food insecurity. Instead of punishing the vulnerable, we should expand SNAP to ensure all families can afford n
STOP SF360
I oppose SF360 scheduled for subcommittee 3/3 to ban mRNA vaccines in the State of Iowa. This is government is overreach. Politicians like yourselves are not licensed to practice medicine and should not be making medical decisions for citizens. Healthcare choices should be between a licensed healthc

Revocation of Rights is Moving Backwards

Focus on what matters
I am deeply disappointed in your leadership. Signing the bill to remove gender identity protections in Iowa is un-Iowan and un-American. Your lack of compassion and empathy is truly remarkable. You have lead our state into disaster. Iowa is losing manufacturing jobs, rapidly increasing cancer rates
Reject IA HSB158
The proposed legislation, IA HSB158, aims to restrict minors from attending drag shows and impose penalties for violations.

Defend intellectual freedom and open access at libraries
As a concerned citizen, I feel compelled to address the proposed legislation SF347, which seeks to prohibit certain materials in public libraries across counties and cities. This bill poses a grave threat to our fundamental values of free speech, intellectual freedom, and access to information. The
Transgender discrimination bill
This is a day of shame to mark the passage of the transgender discrimination. bill. A solution in search of a problem. You will regret the day come election time for this cowardly act.

Veto SF418. For the sake of this Iowa, do not allow it to be the first State in history to strip its citizens of statutory civil rights protections! You would be the only Governor in history whose legacy is one of removing civil rights. That will be your legacy: the most hateful Governor in U.S. his
Oppose Iowa SF 418, protect LGBTQ+ youth and families
SF 418's attempt to legally define "sex" and curtail discussions around gender identity likely violates equal protection and due process rights under the 14th Amendment. It discriminates against a class of people based on sex and transgender status, which the Supreme Court has recognized as deservin
Please reconsider
I'm running out of options. My only hope is a longshot. That you have some sense of the future and how you will be perceived. That it matters at all to you. Our legislators in Iowa have decided they would rather remove protections for an entire class of individuals protected by our laws than b
