Wednesday was a difficult day for The American Independent News Network, which is the larger entity that operates The Iowa Independent. Our chief executive and founder announced two of our sister sites would close and their content would be moved to The American Independent.
A recently introduced bill could have far-reaching impact on the U.S. sugar industry, including American Crystal Sugar, a farmer-owned cooperative that locked out 1,300 Midwest workers on Aug. 1.

Little-known GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate, Christopher Reed of Marion — who has such a paucity of funding and proifle that he actually uses Google’s free blogspot service to post items — claims U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, (who has been married to one woman for around as long as Reed has been alive) wants to allow not only homosexual marriage but unions between man and horse.

Held at the Alta Golf Course there were over 100 people in attendance. Of course, they were there to see their beloved Steve King, but I was given a chance to speak. This is about the 4th event I’ve been at this month with Mr. King so I had to change up my “stump pitch” and wing it about some different things. Instead of just reminding everyone about Tom Harkin’s complete lack of any energy plan and his lack-luster approach to immigration, I discussed some of his other short comings.
Marriage: Tom Harkin wants marriage to be between any 2, 3 or multiple people of any and all sexes. Heck, as far as he is concerned, you could marry your horse if it makes you happy. He wants to repeal DOMA which would eliminate any state from having its own right not to recognize another state’s marriage if they so chose.
