Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) urged a smaller-than-expected crowd of Tea Party protesters on Tuesday to launch a Velvet Revolution-style uprising against the federal government, saying the parallels are striking between America's current government and Eastern European communist rule.

Keep on hoping you are right but when November gets here hide and watch what happens.

Dear Mr. President,

We respectfully request that you grant the request made January 28, 2010, by Iowa Governor Chet Culver, for a declaration of a major disaster for the State of Iowa as a result of damages from a severe winter ... ..... ..... effective response is beyond the capabilities of the State and affected local governments and that supplementary Federal assistance is needed.
We thank you for your prompt consideration of this request.

Sincerely

Steve King
