Protesters picket Iowa Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix's home in Shell Rock

SHELL ROCK, Ia. — Union and Democratic activists picketed the home of Iowa Senate Majority Leader Bill Dix on Saturday to protest what they called his anti-family and anti-worker agenda.

About 100 protesters carrying signs and banging drums marched on the snow-packed sidewalk and street in front of Dix's family home for nearly an hour.

Local law enforcement agencies barricaded the street. A few neighbors watched from a nearby deck as protesters gave speeches and chanted "Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Bill Dix has got to go."

"I think having a hundred people in front of Bill Dix's house on a five-degree day is a sign that people have had enough of Bill Dix," said Jesse Case, secretary-treasurer of Teamsters Local 238, which organized the event.
