Dave Loebsack On the Frontline

I went to help some friends whose house is in the flood prone Mosquito Flats and spoke to Congressman Dave Loebsack who was sandbagging along side folks like former City Councilman, Bob Elliott and Iowa City employees and community volunteers. This was my second Rep. Loebsack encounter in as many days as he also attended the world premiere of a documentary film about Iowa City icon, "Wild Bill" Sackter at Hancher Auditorium last night. It's called "A Friend Indeed: The Bill Sackter Story".

Here's the trailer:



If you get the chance, see this film.
