Iowa Ag Summit  ...Back >
March 7, 2015--Gov. Scott Walker drew several dozen protesters from organized labor.  They wanted "him to apologize for comparing union workers to ISIS terrorists (+)."  Other protests were organized by Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement (against Bruce Rastetter and corporate agriculture), Next Gen Climate (flew a plane with a "Jeb Bush - I'm Not a Scientist" banner overhead) and New Jersey Organizing Project (two New Jerseyites briefly disrupted Gov. Christie's remarks to draw attention to lagging recovery from Superstorm Sandy).
