Pam’s House Blend: Last week desmoinesdem blogged about the upcoming special election in Iowa's 90th legislative district, where the republican candidate will test the mileage of marriage equality as an electoral issue. Well big surprise, look what hit my mailbox today from NOMskull Brian Brown: “Today we take the battle for marriage back to the heartland, as NOM launches its Reclaim Iowa Project. The Reclaim Iowa Project is a multi-year campaign to pass a state constitutional amendment reversing last spring's same-sex marriage ruling from the Iowa Supreme Court. Iowans overwhelmingly oppose same-sex marriage, but a handful of politicians are determined to block any effort to give the people of Iowa a say in the matter. According to the latest polling, 67% of Iowans favor putting a marriage amendment on the ballot for a decision by all Iowa voters -- not just a handful of judges.” "Reclaim Iowa"? Was Iowa ever Mormon property to begin with? UPDATE: One Iowa, Iowa's largest LGBT advocacy organization, has responded. Executive Director Carolyn Jenison says: "The Mormon Church and NOM have invested millions of dollars to spread lies and fear in California and now they have their sights set on rural Iowa.
