Take Action: Tell the Family Leader to give our money back!
The Family Leader is at it again, but this time they are using our money!
Last week, an Associated Press investigation and report uncovered the unethical actions of the Iowa Family Policy Center’s use of federal funds. The Iowa Family Policy Center, now under the umbrella of The Family Leader, received $2.2 million in federal grants over the past four years from the Department of Health and Human Services. These funds were used to counsel and educate married couples, but reports show that the organization refused to counsel same-sex couples and that funds were used to pay part of the salaries of five employees, rent, telephone, Internet and other expenses at the same time they were leading the charge to unseat three highly qualified State Supreme Court Justices.

For an organization that has worked so hard to elect candidates who want to cut government spending, it is outrageous that they would use our taxpayer dollars to further their political agenda.
Enough is enough. Tell the Family Leader to show exactly how they spent our money, or give it back!
Here is what you can do to help.
- Sign our petition and tell the Family Leader to release their records or return our $2.2 million that they used to push their extreme agenda.
- Donate to the One Iowa Education Fund and ensure that we continue to stand up for the rights of Iowans.
One Iowa has worked hard to counter the aggressive attacks of the Family Leader. We are engaging Iowans in a conversation about marriage like never before through phone banks, house parties, and even simply telling our stories.
We may not have the federal government to pay for our work, but we have great support from people like you. Thank you so much for all you have done. Now lets go win this thing!
Onward,
Troy Price
One Iowa Executive Director
