Related: About this forumOk folks, it's time to bombard grassley with emails
letters, tweets, whatever. His open defiance of the United States constitution cannot be tolerated. And for those who also (unfortunately) have repuke senators, do the same thing. This obstructionist crap has to stop. Now.

Mods: I have permission to post more than 4 paragraphs from this site.
Update: This week Grassley will be in Iowa holding town hall meetings in DeWitt, Muscatine, Marengo, Tama, Vinton, Tipton. Scroll down for complete schedule and times.
The caucuses are over. Its an election year. Our elected officials should be questioned by their constituents. That is the essence of America.
Senator Grassley has been doing many things which should be questioned over the past year or two.
For instance there was the signing of the letter to Iran intended to hinder the administrations foreign policy.
Then there is his hold on judicial nominations which is choking the federal judiciary
His hold on State Department nominations at a critical time in foreign relations as he tries to bring down Hillary Clintons presidential campaign
Most recently there is his vote denying that humans are the cause of climate change thus denying science
If you think about it long enough there are surely a few things you would like to ask Grassley. Maybe why he continues to vote to end the ACA or what the Republican plan is to replace the ACA in a way that will truly cover all Americans?
Grassley has a few town halls next week. With Republicans leading congress, they dont spend much time in Washington:

Update to add: With the death of Antonin Scalia and Grassleys position as chair of the Judiiciary committee we need to make sure that he is asked repeatedly to do his constitutional duty and consider Obamas appointment to the Supreme Court.

(12,336 posts)Not only the Judiciary Committee but the Senate as well since he no longer represents the people of Iowa or the USA. I hope I don't end up living on the streets.
