[Posted by Jonathan on Facebook]

Last night I stopped at Smokey Row in Des Moines in my quest for an Oatmeal Raisin cookie. I also got a chicken caesar salad, and it was delicious.While there I ran into a gentleman I hadn’t seen for a while. He’s a passionate community activist and a Democrat. As we chatted he asked me directly “is your campaign being funded by Terry Branstad, that’s what Jack Hatch told me?”Now this is not the first time I’ve heard this. I was even ...

Not by exploiting it, in the name of compassion. But, by creating paths to opportunity. I’m tired of making people rich in the name of compassion, while we pay for it.”
