Wild Willpower PAC promotes candidates who align themselves with our state platform (below), prime directive, and code of ethics. The following sections of our platform are currently being updated, and additional sections be added throughout February 2025.
Education Restoration Act – HF 68, passed in 2023, is a facially unconstitutional law that shovels $345 million in public tax dollars into private religious institutions. Deceptively called “school choice” by proponents, HF 68 is a clear violation of American constitutionalism which calls for a separation of church and state.
Justice Accessibility Act – simplifies the obscenely-complex Iowa Rules of Courtroom Procedure into simple, step-by-step instructions with forms in order to make Iowa’s courts accessible to Iowans. There are currently 372 court rules for civil cases. These are “our” courts and need to be made accessible to Iowans. The average attorney in Iowa costs $240/hr while the average Iowan earns $18/hr. 92% of low-income Americans can’t afford attorneys for civil cases. We have got to make the courts accessible in order to achieve “liberty and justice for all”. The Act also will create a class in all Iowa high schools to teach the basics of criminal and civil law to students, including topics of combating government corruption, white collar crimes, and color of law crimes. The Act also reforms the Iowa Civil Rights Commission, which is ranked 50th in the nation compared to other civil rights agencies! Iowa was once a leader in civil rights (see Alexander Clark). It’s time to get back on track.
Responsible Gun Owner Act – requires gun owners to obtain a low-cost license to own a gun, which is then reflected on the owner’s state ID. To obtain the license, the licensee must pass a written test similar to the written driver’s test. The purpose of the test is to ensure the owner is aware of gun safety measures, including gun storage, and that they know when it is legal to fire a gun. The RGOA also creates a statewide program to bring active duty police officers and military veterans into classrooms to instill gun safety and a sense of responsibility and honor in young people. Children should first learn about guns in this context instead of first learning about them from video games, television, and movies.
Iowa Commonwealth Act – tax the wealthiest Iowans to subsidize and raise minimum wage. Increased subsidies for caregivers for the disabled and elderly. Economists agree that subsidizing the minimum wage is smarter than raising the minimum wage, as raising it causes prices to rise and lowers the purchasing power of the disabled and the elderly who depend on social security checks to survive. Also, raising the wage without subsidizing hurts small businesses more than large corporations. When CEOs earn more than $20 M per year, it is okay to talk about taxing them at higher rates in order to improve the welfare of all Iowans. This will raise the quality of life for all Iowans – the wealthy and the poor – because “a rising tide lifts all ships”. It’s not an us versus them issue, and needs to stop being broadcast as such. John Locke, the most quoted political author by the Founding Fathers, described the ideal government as a “commonwealth”; shaped like a fountain. The Commonwealth Act is Lockean in design.
The Watchdog Act – repeals “the most pro-corruption bill in Iowa history”, SF -478, and calls for a Legislative Assembly to amend the Iowa Constitution in order to safeguard the State Auditor against corruption. Shout out to Rob Sand for doing such an amazing job as State Auditor that the corruption came after him, and for exposing this pro-corruption bill for what it is. Let’s pull off the books!!
