Call to order

Johnson County earned the privledge of front row seats by having the largest increase in Republican registrations in the 2nd Congressional District.

From Todd Versteegh, Johnson County Chair: "Johnson County didnt get front row seats becaue of having the largest increase in Republican registrations in the 2nd Dist..we got it because we had the largest percentage increase in votes for Bush between 2000 and 2004.

4400 more votes in 2004 as compared to 2000...made up nearly half of Bush's victory total in Iowa."

Sen. Grassley was just in front of us. Grassley motored to the podium when he was announced, pretty quick for an old guy. He's pretty fiesty today. Opening theme is "Your differences with the President, your differences with me, suck it up!" It's time to unite.
