Iowa Citizen's Action Network- We are working to mobilize a public majority for progressive policies that will address broad public concerns, instead of narrow corporate interests. Affordable health care for all, true campaign finance reform, fair state and local taxes, access to civil justice, a safe environment, sustainable agriculture, and sustainable energy are chief among those concerns.
