From the Press-Citizen
A forum at the University of Iowa with Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa, to discuss federal support of student financial aid was met with anti-war protesters saying Iraq war funding is hurting the education budget.
Members of the UI Anti-War Committee, who were kept out of the room except to make a statement, criticized Loebsack's vote for supplemental funding for the war in Iraq, saying it "raises serious questions about your true commitment to education."
"Even though there is not a draft, college students are feeling this war," UI junior and committee member David Goodner said afterward. "The war is pinching and squeezing the funding for education."
