Iowa Christian Alliance

Hosts Hon. Tommy Thompson

At Clive House Party

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, DES MOINES, IOWA, July 24, 2007 – Iowa Christian Alliance, formerly known as Christian Coalition of Iowa, is pleased to host 2008 Presidential candidate, Hon. Tommy Thompson, at its Clive house party on Tuesday, July 31 from 5:30-7:30 P.M.  

The event, which will take place at the home of hosts Jeff and Melissa Jochims, will provide Des Moines area activists an opportunity to meet Hon. Thompson and become familiar with his policy positions. “We are thrilled that Hon. Thompson has accepted our invitation to introduce himself to ICA supporters and let us know where he stands on the issues that face our nation,” stated Steve Scheffler, ICA’s president.

The Clive house party marks the fifth event ICA has facilitated with a 2008 presidential candidate. “ICA does not endorse any candidates. However, we do feel strongly about providing a forum for our activists to get to know the candidates and ask them the tough questions. We have contacted each of the 2008 presidential candidates to appear at one of the many house parties we will be sponsoring in the coming months. I am pleased that so many have accepted our invitation,” remarked Scheffler.

“As we look forward to the Iowa Caucuses, we want to make sure that all of our supporters are well informed on each candidate’s position on issues important to Iowa voters.  Each of these house parties plays an important role in that educational process,” continued Scheffler.

RSVP and exact event location information may be obtained by contacting Iowa Christian Alliance at (515) 971-7363 or by logging on to the website at www.iowachristian.com.
