A Call to Action on Polk County Redistricting..

Once again, the Polk County Democrat Machine is trying to stack the deck in their favor. Please make time to attend the open meeting on Polk County Supervisor Redistricting to be held 7 p.m. Wednesday in Room 120 of the Polk County Administration Building, 111 Court Ave. in Des Moines.

Here is an article for background: Polk County Redistricting

The Machine is trying to ramrod through a bad plan for Polk County citizens by adopting a plan that provides disproportionate representation, throwing out the American ideal of one man-one vote.

Please make plans to attend and to support a fair, open and honest process for adoption of the Polk County Board of Supervisors District Map
