Subject: Support Iowa's Freedom Amendment
Fellow Iowan,
On November 8th, Iowans will get a chance to cement our Second Amendment rights in Iowa’s Constitution. It is hard to believe we are one of only six other states that do not have a “back up to the 2nd Amendment” written into their state’s Constitution. That’s right, 44 other states have taken the step to protect 2nd Amendment Rights in their state just in case our Federal Constitutional 2A rights are infringed or modified from the Founders’ original intent.
On November 8, Iowans will be asked to vote on amending the State of Iowa’s Constitution to include Iowa Amendment 1 – also known as The Freedom Amendment.
The amendment reads as follows:
“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.”
Thanks to the work of the Iowa Firearms Coalition, we’ve come a long way in 2A rights in Iowa. We have them to thank for “shall issue” carry permits, constitutional carry, and stand your ground laws. I’m proud to say they’re leading the charge on this effort as well!
Passing the Iowa Freedom Amendment is the next step towards securing our liberties now and for future generations.
Please vote YES to Iowa Amendment 1 - The Freedom Amendment on November 8.
Very Best,
Pete Brownell
