- Group Lays Out Immigration Reform Principles
the Iowa compact Five principles to guide Iowa's immigration discussion - Federal solutions -- We believe that immigration policy falls under the purview of federal, not state government. - Smart enforcement -- Smart immigration policy is the opportunity to restore law and order by directing enforcement to real security threats and serious criminal activity. Authorities should avoid policies that have negative economic and humanitarian consequences for our communities. - Keep families together -- We oppose policies that unnecessarily separate our families. We champion policies that support families and improve the health, education and well-being of all Iowa children. - Meet our economic needs -- We acknowledge the economic role immigrants play as entrepreneurs, workers, consumers ...

- Survey: More Iowa Kids Have Health Insurance
IOWA CITY (AP) - A new statewide survey shows that more Iowa children have health insurance than they did in 2000. The 2005 Iowa Child and Family Household Health Survey, which was released this week, was an attempt by the state to evaluate health status, access to health care and social environment of children in Iowa families. Its results were compared to an initial survey that was released in 2002.

- Preschool Change Would Hurt Middle Class
Legislation that would gut Iowa's voluntary preschool program is based on some faulty assumptions. Contrary to the claim of Rep. Stewart Iverson that "virtually every parent in Iowa can send their child to preschool," many Iowa families would be left out. In reality, many middle-income families are already struggling to afford quality preschool, even with two parents working. With the implementation of this bill, the rates of preschool attendance among children from middle-income families will likely drop below the rate of children from low- and high-income families.

- Out-of-State Civil Unions in Iowa After Varnum v. Brien: Why the State of Iowa Should Recognize Civil Unions as Marriages
One of the issues that arose after the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision in Varnum v. Brien, which held that Iowa’s Constitution would not permit Iowa to limit the institution of marriage to opposite-sex couples, regards how the state should treat different types of same-sex unions from other states. Some of the most interesting and important concerns center around the status Iowa will give to out-of-state civil unions and domestic partnerships, relationships that receive legal recognition but are not true marriages in their states of origin. Since federal law (the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act) and choice-of-law principles allow Iowa to recognize out-of-state, same-sex relationships, Iowa courts and legislators must now look to statutory l...
