Excerpt:
 On Tuesday the Iraq Summer is holding two Take a Stand Townhall meetings.
Invitations were given to Sen. Grassley and Rep. Latham, but both declined. Supposedly, the invite to Grassley was to attend a Townhall meeting at the end of August and the group would be flexible with the time and location. Grassley’s office called back and said they were available on that date, unfortunately a date had not been given. Latham was already holding a meeting in Pochantas, so Iraq Summer is holding one there also.
Here’s the details…
Tuesday August 28th: Pocahontas

Excerpt:
Last week, a reporter from the Politico travelled around with the Iowa Director of the Iraq Summer campaign.
Here is the part of the article…
Dinsdale, who hardly fits the activist stereotype, often catches McCain and other politicians off-guard. Her father served in Korea, her husband in Vietnam, and her oldest son finished his tour in Iraq three years ago. But the mother of three also works as the Iowa director of Americans Against Escalation in Iraq, a group that has recruited people like Dinsdale to change the image of its anti-war cause.
“I’m not a fool. I know we need a military,” she says. “It’s just this war that’s making me crazy.”
She isn’t the only one: According to a recent CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll, 64 percent of Americans oppose the war.
Dinsdale is just one player in a multimillion-dollar production aiming to tap into that sentiment. Anti-war group AAEI — a coalition of MoveOn.org, the Service Employees International Union and other progressive groups — is targeting Republicans who support President Bush’s Iraq policy in 40 congressional districts. During the August recess, AAEI is slamming its targets with grass-roots campaigns led by local activists such as Dinsdale.
Read the rest of the article for more information about what Iraq Summer has been doing in Iowa.

Excerpt:
A White House Front Group led by former Press Secretary Ari Fleischer is airing TV ads going after Sen. Charles Grassley and Rep. Tom Latham in a desperate attempt to shore up support for Bush’s failed Iraq policies.
Grassley and Latham have been feeling pressure from their constituents and from the Iraq Summer campaign.
“These ads, being run by a White House supported front group, are swift boating Republicans - squeezing from the right the same Republicans who are feeling the heat from voters back home for their support for Bush’s failed war policy ,” said Brad Woodhouse, President of Americans United for Change. “The White House is eating its own in a desperate move to preserve the President’s failed policy in Iraq .”
Here is information on the ad buy…
