Ed Fallon is challenging Bush Dog Democrat Leonard Boswell in a primary in Iowa's 3rd district. Here is a online video the Fallon campaign has made to challenge claims that Fallon has violated campaign finance laws.

A misguided reporter from the popular Youtube show "Campaigns of the Rich and Powerful" steps into Team Fallon HQ to investigate the massive wealth of a grassroots campaign. Cuban cigars, Benjamin Franklins, caviar, and diamonds are paving the way for more progressive future... or not.

Fact: 100% of our funds come from people like you. That's right.

Fact: 0% of Team Fallon's funds ever are from paid lobbyists, or Political Action Committees with corporate ties and intentions. Nor have they ever been able to write a check to Ed Fallon in his 14 years as a State Rep or in his run for Governor in 2006. Instead Ed always self-imposed a cap on contributions, so that money can never be louder than voters.

Fact: 74% of Boswell's campaign money from 2007 came from lobbyists and PACs.

Fact: Of the 322 PAC contributions Boswell received last year, the largest percentage came from corporate PACs

1. Well done!! Hope this young man unseats the chimp-dog Democrat

We need to be just as ruthless, if not more so, to those Democrats who disgace their party by rubber stamping this criminal administration and the repug congresswhimps. It's time to take America back for the people!

2. Iowa is Pushing to become bluer

In 2006 we got Dave Loebsack into a seat that had been held by a republican for years and years (2nd district) lets hope it keeps going that way.
