Only 1.2 million Iowans bothered to show up to vote, and that’s a lot easier than surrounding a building.

If you could get a million Iowans to vote, you’d own the place.

surrounded the capitol in Des Moines protesting Iowa's Gestapo governor that would be one of the largest spontaneous protests in American history and it would likely change some minds. If you see this happening let me know and I will drive over from Illinois so I can be a part of it.
