Iowa Delegation Seeks Elevated Role for Guard

From the Des Moines Register

POTOMAC FEVER: Iowa delegation, minus King, seeks elevated role for Guard

By Jane NORMAN • Register columnist • April 20, 2008

Bipartisan members of the Iowa congressional delegation united last week to ask that the head of the National Guard Bureau be included in the makeup of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Rep. Steve King was the only member of the delegation who did not sign on to the letter. Asked for comment, King said: "Rep. Braley and all Democrats in the Iowa delegation do not support the troops and their mission. We will not be led to victory by those who have declared defeat."

There was no elaboration, so it's not clear why King would say that in connection with this particular initiative.

English Only?

Recently, a District Court Judge in Polk County ruled Iowa voter registration forms could only be available in the English language.

What is the problem with removing possible road blocks to voter registration? Should constitutional rights be considered in this case?
