Kim Reynolds: Her Record Speaks For Itself

Kim Lehman | June 24, 2010

The question the grassroots will be wondering is if Kim Reynolds, the Lieutenant Governor pick by former Governor Terry Branstad, is or isn’t a true conservative? Her record stands before her.

Well let’s see….she sponsored a bill determining when life begins that acknowledged the rights, privileges, and protection of the unborn. Pass with flying colors—she IS pro-life.

She sponsored a bill to put in internet filters in public libraries to protect children. Pass

She sponsored a bill requiring drug testing for people applying for or receiving state assistance. The “Ur-in or Ur-out” system so that we don’t have to fund the drug addicted welfare crowd. Pass

She sponsored a bill that would give Iowan’s the right to choose their health care, which is especially valuable as we fall under the dictatorship of the Federal Obamacare. Pass

She sponsored a bill that would require the placement of a right-to-work notice to be placed on state property and in state publicans. Pass

She sponsored a bill to create a website for the public so the public access to the state budget with details of expenditures and the tax rates for all districts of the state–real government transparency. Pass

She sponsored a bill that would eliminate the requirement to apply every year for a permit to own a pistol or revolver–more freedom at work. Pass

She sponsored a bill to give veterans’, honorably discharged, the right to have a lifetime fishing and hunting licenses at a nominal fee–another great idea. Pass
She sponsored the economic development bill that would provide tax credits for new job creation while eliminating the government, mismanaged, “Grow Iowa Values Fund.” Less government at it’s finest. Pass

Sponsored a Joint Resolution proposing an amendment to the Iowa Constitution that would fix the problem with how judges to the Iowa Supreme Court are rigged by allowing the Governor to nix the choices sent to him if they are not good choices and force the process to start over with better nominees. We really need this problem fixed as we have seen with the garbage handed down to us against marriage. Pass

She sponsored a bill to require voters to show ID before they vote. Genius. Couldn’t agree more. Pass

So essentially, Senator Kim Reynolds went into office and took the bull by the horns and got busy. Her record is clear with…

Protect human life, protect kids, protect the tax payer from welfare abuse, protect our 2nd Amendment rights, protect our health care rights, protect the worker, establish government transparency, thank our veterans, reduce government from a useless program that cost the taxpayer millions, fix the problem with the nomination of judges to the Iowa Supreme Court and protect our votes at the ballot box from groups like ACORN.

Is Kim Reynolds a true pro-life, pro-family, conservative Republican (with a spine)?….Is the Pope Catholic (and I’m a Catholic)? Yes, she is a true conservative. Not only that, but she is a very kind woman and I personally like her. I think she is a very good choice for lieutenant governor and I believe she will do us proud.
