Apr 30, 2008 Boswell's record doesn't support flier's rhetoric Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Just when I thought this election couldn't get any more petty, the Boswell for Congress campaign sent a highly entertaining (for all the wrong reasons) flier to my mailbox. As reported in "Boswell Turns Up Burners on Fallon Allegiance" (April 24), the... more...
Apr 15, 2008 Concentrate on problem solving Letter to the editor - The Des Moines Register We here in the 3rd District have some pretty serious problems that need to be addressed. How sad that U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell's supporters seem to concentrate on smearing mud rather than solving issues. more...
Mar 19, 2008 Cynthia McGew says: "He's a working folk just like us. I met him 15 years ago, and he's a person just like us, and we're standing behind him all the way" Cynthia McGew
Feb 14, 2008 Donna Ritchie says: "Ed is la creme de la creme, a real straight shooter. I hate politics and politicians except for Ed." Donna J. Ritchie, Des Moines
May 12, 2008 Express yourself at the ballot box Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Thanks for reporting on May 3 that, "Boswell Turns Down Offer for TV Debate." Ed Fallon said yes, and U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell said no more...
Apr 30, 2008 It's about power Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Leonard Boswell's recent campaign ad asserting that Ed Fallon is responsible for 4,000 American deaths in Iraq is despicable. It is exactly this say and do anything to win and hold on to power mind-set that has gotten our country in such a mess. more...
Mar 10, 2008 Letter to the editor - Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Huh? A thistle to Ed Fallon for holding an event on global climate change on a bitterly cold winter day? It sounds as if the Register thinks global warming is only a problem in the heat of summer. more...
Mar 10, 2008 Letter to the editor - Besides, Fallon would have had to wait until July... Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor I'll give a thistle to the Register's editors in response to the one they gave Ed Fallon for giving a global warming speech on a cold day ("A Chilling Reception," Feb. 24 Roses & Thistles). more...
Feb 13, 2008 Letter to the editor - Boswell's vote should reflect district's Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Leonard Boswell's pledge to cast his superdelegate vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton at the National Democratic Convention troubles me. Barack Obama won Boswell's 3rd District by a large enough margin to win one more delegate than Clinton, who came in... more...
Mar 12, 2008 Letter to the editor - Civic Skinny is nothing, if not persistent Cityview Online (Letters To The Editor) Here we go again. Civic Skinny is nothing if not persistent (“Civic Skinny,” Feb. 28). Ralph Nader’s entry into the presidential race is supposedly a bad deal for the “sometime-Democrat” Ed Fallon, Leonard Boswell’s opponent in the Third District primary. more...
Feb 7, 2008 Letter to the editor - Fallon for Congress Cityview - Letter to the editor After receiving 26 percent of the vote statewide and 41 percent of the vote in District 3 in the 2006 governor’s race, it is amazing to me that Cityview is persisting with the view that Ed Fallon is a “kook” (“Civic Skinny,” Jan. 24). Skinny likes to portray him... more...
Feb 1, 2008 Letter to the editor - Iowa's election should be about climate solutions Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor It's very exciting that global warming has emerged as one of the major issues this election, not just on the national stage, but also on the local front. Ed Fallon's recent decision to challenge U.S. Rep. Leonard Boswell is a bright spot in an... more...
Feb 7, 2008 Letter to the editor - Is Ed Fallon a ‘kook? Cityview - Letter to the editor I was disappointed to read your article attacking Ed Fallon as a “kook.” If being against the disastrous Iraq war before its start; being for serious campaign finance reform, which will renew our democracy; and being a proven champion of our environment makes... more...
Mar 24, 2008 Letter to the editor - Support Fallon Newton Daily News - Letter to the editor Those Democrats who think that the presidential election will be a cake walk for our party are walking in a dream. more...
Feb 22, 2008 Letter to the editor - Time for Boswell to zip it Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Leonard Boswell's quixotic crusade to deliver Windsor Heights a ZIP Code of its very own during a time of war and economic crisis should be an embarrassment. more...
Apr 2, 2008 Letter to the editor - Votes don't lean toward timeline Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor Regarding the March 20 article, "Fallon Discounts Iraq Troop Increase": Boswell spokesman Mark Daley is quoted as saying that "Leonard Boswell has been fighting for a timeline to bring our troops home safely ever since," evidently meaning ever since... more...
Apr 16, 2008 Letter tot he editor: Boswell's legacy tarnished by Iraq-war vote The Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor One cannot help but wonder why Leonard Boswell is running for a seventh term. He could have retired after six terms and allowed us to celebrate the positive things he has done. more...
Apr 11, 2008 Maiga Green-Stevens says: "Any office that Ed would run for would have my vote. I would vote for him for President! He's a really nice man" Maiga Green-Stevens, Des Moines
Mar 22, 2008 Supporters letter to Boswell campaign re: Boswell letter to constituents Mr. Ourth, For the record, I find this email and message offensive in the extreme. I am a member of the Polk County Democrats Central Committee and I've contributed and worked for Congressman Boswell in the past - as I felt strongly that a Democrat should represent the 3rd District - but... more...
Apr 30, 2008 Tell us why we should vote for you, Boswell Des Moines Register - Letter to the editor I'm currently undecided concerning the upcoming primary between Rep. Leonard Boswell and his challenger Ed Fallon. Although I've been happy with Boswell's representation of our state's interests in the Congress, I have a tremendous amount of respect... more...
