Yes, speak up and speak out, but with civility
On a quiet Saturday in Monticello, something powerful happened: Iowans gathered—not to shout, but to listen, question, and connect. The Grassroots Iowa Network brought together citizens, candidates, and former officials for a workshop rooted in the First Amendment freedoms too often taken for granted. The event wasn’t flashy, but it echoed the founding spirit of this country—respectful dissent, honest dialogue, and civic duty. In a time of noisy division, this kind of neighborly engagement might be exactly what democracy needs most. The commentary writtten by Randy Evans and republished by the Iowa Capital Dispatch is worth a read.
