View CommentsDES MOINES – The Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) announced today that Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell will serve as the keynote speaker for their 2010 Jefferson Jackson Dinner, which will take place on October 16th in Des Moines. Gov. Rendell, the former Democratic National Committee chairman, has been a strong voice for the Democratic Party at a local, state, and national level.
“Governor Rendell’s lifetime of public service and dedication to the Democratic Party has made him one of our strongest and most outspoken voices, it is an honor to welcome him as our keynote speaker for the Jefferson Jackson Dinner,” said IDP Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky. “The Jefferson Jackson Dinner is always a great opportunity for Iowa Democrats to hear from our great leaders from across the nation and build support for the Party. This year Governor Rendell will help us prepare to reelect Governor Culver and send Roxanne Conlin to the Senate as we build on our past success.”
The IDP’s annual Jefferson Jackson Dinner has welcomed many national political figures, most recently hosting Vice President Joe Biden in 2009. For more information about the Dinner visit http://iowademocrats.org/JJ.
View CommentsIowa Republicans will stop at nothing to avoid discussing the real issues facing this state.
Just ask Iowa’s Republican National Committeewoman Kim Lehman who thrust herself into the national spotlight by tweeting that President Obama “personally told the muslims that he IS a muslim. Read his lips.”

The GOP’s new distract and offend strategy has no place in Iowa, a state that has always valued open and honest debate, but it is unfortunately taking over their side of the aisle.
Lehman is just the latest GOP leader to make a false and incendiary claim. In the past month alone Congressman Steve King has called President Obama a “Marxist” who “does not have an American experience.” Republican legislative candidate Jeremy Walters wrote on his Facebook wall that HIV/AIDS is God’s way of punishing homosexuals. And then there’s Dave Leach, a Republican State Senate hopeful that accused his opponent of being “Iowa’s chief sodomite.”
Click here to help us talk about the real issues and fight these attacks.
At the end of the day this incendiary rhetoric doesn’t help Iowa. Every week another Iowa Republican makes a statement that is an embarrassment on a national level. Meanwhile our Democratic candidates have a vision for a better Iowa and are working to make it a reality.
With your help we will continue to discuss the real issues and real solutions for the state without resorting to incendiary and false attacks.
