Save Iowa's History

I often grimace when people state that they are not “political”. Whether you are vocal or not we are all political by our actions. By not being vocal or not voting basically is saying that one is happy with the status quo. Whatever politicians do is fine by them. They don’t want to be bothered or really care.  Unfortunately, there are politicians that have their own agendas and are finding ways to use our laws to meet those agendas. By not speaking up it's giving them free reign to do whatever they wish to do.

Recently, as most genealogists know, Indiana’s history was in danger and now Iowa’s history is in danger of being lost or made unavailable. Other states have made it extremely difficult to nearly impossible for genealogist to obtain information on their ancestors. We are all dealing with the loss of the Social Security Death Index.

To say, you are not political is basically saying you just don’t care. Please care and sign the petition to save Iowa's history.
