The American Friends Service Committee
(AFSC) is
using the opportunity presented by the Iowa caucuses to increase the
visibility and broaden the discourse around the corrupting influence of
corporate dollars in the political process and
in policy making.
Under the theme “Governing Under the
Influence”
banners will be displayed and informational leaflets will be handed out
to Democratic party members and officials as they wait in slow moving
lines to enter the Harkin steak fry, wherein Hillary
Clinton is being highlighted.
Since both parties are deeply influenced
by these
corporate dollars, AFSC will be present throughout the campaign at all
the major candidate events.
“On Sunday our message
will be directed to Hillary Clinton and the Democratic power structure.
In the weeks ahead we’ll be taking our message and our banners to Ron
Paul and Chris Christie and whatever other candidates come
into Iowa asking for our support” said Kathleen McQuillen of American
Friends Service Committee.

There was also Palestine presence organized by AFSC’s Palestine program working in partnership with an emerging Students For Justice in Palestine group; these were intended as separate actions but did end up close together near the entry.
