Fallon is a hypocrite.... and having it both ways.
This guy is not leadership material. He's a man who makes waves because he thinks its fun, but can't ride a surfboard.
We need leadership. Ideas matched with experience, ability to turn ideas into action, and the support from all corners to help make that happen. Congressman Boswell has proven time and again in Washington and in our State Assembly that he's fully capable of doing just that.
Fallon is all hype and no substance. And he may be a bit unethical as well.

self funder? When Ed Fallon starts self-funding his campaign, we'll know this I'M for Iowa business is just a tax dodge, a way to funnel gobs of money to Ed so he can run for Congress on the dime of some secretive Daddy Warbucks while pretending it's his own money . . . .now how likely is that?????
If he does in fact raise a ton of money via this I'M for Iowa business (and just how likely do you think even that part is?), how is it different from elected officials who give paid speeches to the insurance brokers association or get big advances from book deals for their books that may not sell? Ed never said all politicians have to be disinterested paupers. He just says they shouldn't let Smithfield and Principal pay for their campaigns.
Anybody disagree?

I get it... I understand where you are coming from - but at least with PAC money or traditionally raised money there is DISCLOSURE. Fallon doesn't have to disclose a single donor to "I'M FOR IOWA". NOT ONE.

hypocrite? i think so It will be interesting to find out if Fallon does release the finances and donors of IM for iowa. If he doesn't there is going to be serious credibility issues with this man. But since fallon likes to preach about how much he hates the way campaigns and candidates are financed i am interested to see what this group spends its money on. If the group spends it on its cause or most of it providing fallon with a salary? If he uses it to pay himself i will be absolutly disgusted because that means these people who are donating 10 or 15 dollars for a cause they believe in and are just getting swindled. It was very interesting to see fallon use a republican as an example to defend himself

Who will do the work? How's I'M for Iowa supposed to do its work if it doesn't pay anyone to do it? What do you get when you give to a cause organization such as the Sierra Club? You get helpers who know the ropes and the facts better than you do yourself. You are paying their salaries!
So Ed has lately been working to re-inforce the eminent domain law that some lake builders are trying to evade. He has experience at this stuff. If you want to help, you could give money to I'M for Iowa. You are giving it to Ed, you would advance your cause, and it's worth it!!!
