Wally it's difficult to get a letter published in local papers about
King's energy policies.  I sat between two reporters at a town hall
meeting in Creston,  made points against his coal, drilling pie charts
backed up with facts, and actually got him so angry he lost his cool and
apologized to me.  Not one word I said was printed by these reports--only
his pro coal, drilling remarks--his picture and his remarks & pie charts
were on the front page of the Osceola Sentinel and my letters were not
published.  By the way--some "Kill Obama" shouts were heard at this
meeting!  Not a word about that.  I know of only one other Sierran in his
district who worked morning, noon and night to call and door bell for
Hubler.  I found an activist in Decatur Co and got some Democrats in
Lamoni to call and we called everyone in Decatur Co--it took weeks
calling every night.  Pat Fuller and I  even called together in Council
Bluffs.  I can't tell you how we felt, after hours and hours of calls,
etc. we learned that King won by 60%.   Phyllis  PS we are being harassed
by anti abortion calls and Reagan tax cuts.

Andrew for making the point I have been trying to make for awhile. We can
lobby; we can make comments to state agencies; we can do all of the
things we usually do. But until we change the culture in which people
agree with someone like Steve King, we will not be successful. We need to
educate the public.
