the name of any attendees.

Drew Klein should ring a bell - he was Branstad's "minder" when Branstad signed the union busting bill several years ago in a private ceremony in the governor's office behind closed doors on a Friday night. The private ceremony was for one person - Drew Klein.

Americans for Prosperity is of course a Koch operation.

This is a pic from iowastartingline.com - I always call it the most obscene picture I have ever seen - pure corruption:

Well for some reason I can't post the picture so here is a link with the pic:

BTW - Terry Branstad was one of the founders of ALEC.

and "model legislation." If you look close you can almost see their strings.

"model legislation" has been introduced as a bill in our legislature without even changing the name of the state that it originally came from. Not only corrupt but lazy as hell.
