Sen. Charles (Chuck) Grassley. Why Do Iowans Keep Voting Him In?

This article is an example of what all of our elected members of Congress should be about. It is quite a contrast to their other Senator Harkin (D-IA) who is nothing but an inside the beltway type except during elections.

Now only Iowa but America thanks Sen Grassley for truly representing his constituents!

Senator Grassley's latest video where he answers questions submitted to him by his constituents about jobs and appropriations:

Iowa Listens to Grassley Because It's a 2 Way Street

The phone rang and it was an invitation to stay on the line and "chat" with Sen. Grassley and other southeastern Iowa residents. Odd? Not if you are an Iowan. Sen. Grassley conducts these phone question and answer events constantly and also keeps Iowa roads hot with his town hall meetings. Town hall meetings seem everyday occurrences these days, but Grassley has been doing them for years.

What makes Charles Grassley, better known as Chuck Grassley, tick? What keeps this man on the road for hours, no matter what the weather conditions, just to talk to Iowans? After going to several of Grassley's town hall meetings and sitting in on a conference call with other Iowans, it becomes clear. Sen. Chuck Grassley loves Iowa and loves Iowans. He cares about what is on our minds and he lends his ear to our problems.

The phone call consisted of 17 questions and answers. Some were over concerns of veterans' care and red tape that they (the vets) were running into. Some questions were about health care and the value of our dollar. All were sincerely asked and to Sen. Grassley's credit, they were all answered sincerely.

If you see Sen. Grassley in a town hall meeting, you see the intense attention he pays to the questions and the questioners. You can see that Grassley genuinely cares about that person's worry. Grassley talks to us like he was just another Iowa neighbor. No pretense. If you ask him a question and he doesn't know the answer, you can be sure that he (Grassley) and his crack staff will find the answer and get it to you.

Many go to Washington and forget where they came from. Sen. Harkin in no way conducts himself like Grassley. And maybe that is one reason that even democrats have to say that they respect Sen. Grassley, even if they don't like his policies/politics.
