CEDAR FALLS - U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is an embarrassment to our country, and his remarks on Obama are a reflection of a fear-mongering politician who should not be allowed through re-election to shame the values upon which our country was founded.

Maybe those of us interested in turning away from divisive politics should start an online donation drive to oppose his re-election. These days, small donors are having a huge impact on election races. It wouldn't take much to ensure that he no longer represents our country with his racist views and small-mindedness.

That's what I love about our country. You are elected to represent your constituents, and your constituents can replace you when they see that you are no longer keeping their interests and values in mind.

I ask all good citizens of Cedar Falls to see what we can do to ensure his defeat.
