Iowa Republicans will be represented by 40 delegates and 37 alternates. Twenty-two of the national delegates and their alternates were approved as a slate by the 1,347 voting delegates at Saturday’s convention. Fifteen delegates and alternates were chosen the night before at the District Presidential Caucuses with three delegates and alternates elected from each of Iowa’s five Congressional Districts.

Where are all the 4th District people?
Is this my Republican slate – I think not. The people chosen have been handpicked (but for a few) by the Iowa Christian Alliance (ICA) who have a hidden agenda of their own. Those that are opposed to the ICA’s plans are bullied, harrased and excluded from partipating in the process. ICA even has a written plan on how to get elected and nominated, which was easy to do seeing has how Steve Scheffler nominated those he believed would follow his agenda. Needless to say I am again disillusioned in Iowa.
