Contact your legislators and ask them to respect the role of the Iowa Supreme Court!
Email your legislators NOW and then join us for Civics Day at the Capitol on March 12. Your help is critical to stop the divisive tactics of extremists to write discrimination into our constitution.
Iowans have a deep respect for our constitution and our Supreme Court. Unfortunately, a number of individuals and organizations in Iowa are attempting to circumvent and undermine the judicial process. They have even resorted to hate-filled rhetoric, comparing gay and lesbian couples to Hitler, the Gulags, and rapists!
Help us stop their extremist tactics!
- Email your legislators NOW! Ask them to respect the role of the Iowa Supreme Court - and not write discrimination in our constitution.
- Join us for Civics Day at the Capitol! Join your friends and allies to voice your respect.

Subject: Respect the Court!
Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here],
Despite the divisive tactics of extremists to write discrimination into our constitution and circumvent the judicial process, I strongly encourage you to respect the role of the court and OPPOSE HJR 8 and SJR 2001!
Like many other Iowa voters, I have a deep respect for the Iowa Constitution, our Supreme Court, and the judicial process. The independence of the judiciary is a critical piece of our great democracy.
This is a matter before the court and I believe the judicial process should be respected throughout. In the meantime, the people of Iowa elected the legislature to take care of the many important issues currently facing Iowa families such as health care, jobs, and education.
Sincerely,
[Enter Name Here]
