36. How long are the special interests in Iowa
going to continue to extort our candidates with ethanol? The ethanol additive has proven to be the worst additive ever to gas. It reduces the miles per gallon and wastes energy. Iowans want to "vote" - if that is what you want to call your anti-democratic caucus system -- first so they can continue to demand that candidates bow down to ethanol. This is an assault on our environment and the Iowa needs to vote last, not first.

The candidates have not been "asked" not to campaign -- they have been threatened with sanctions if they campaign in in FL or MI. That is a violation of their First Amendment rights and those states should be sued or their delegations thrown out of the convention which would be the better solution.
