Letter to the Editor from Erin Miller:
I’m an Iowa mom from Dallas Center. I want to thank your community for sending Mary Jo Wilhelm to the Iowa Senate. Thanks to her, my four-year-old son Abe’s life has greatly improved.
Abe was born with a rare genetic mutation. He suffers from epileptic seizures, autism, and other health problems. Often, the standard medicines made Abe’s life worse.
In 2015, however, our son’s neurologist suggested we try CBD – a form of cannabis oil made from marijuana. Thanks to Senator Wilhelm’s votes, we were able to do just that.
My son’s last seizure was almost 500 days ago! He’s doing so much better, smiling, talking, and growing up.
Iowa’s medical cannabis law will expire next year. We need a new law. We need to put doctors, not politicians, in charge of these decisions. Senator Wilhelm has voted to allow families like mine buy these medicines with a doctor’s prescription.
Please help ease my son’s suffering. Please vote to re-elect Mary Jo Wilhelm to the Iowa Senate.

Her negatives far outweigh her positives. Get rid of her. All she does is waste money.
And whom do you suggest one should vote for? Zombie man?
Zombie man would be a huge improvement over her.
When the mooslems have sharia law here you won’t even have booze to ease your pain lady.
Republicans claim they want less government in our lives but then they try to tell people how to live. If these parents think cannabis will help then government needs to stay the hell out of their business and let them try it. Same goes for abortion its not the place of government to meddle.
Here is one for you. In the unfortunate circumstance of Clinton winning all Independents and Republicans are going to start acting like Democrats. We are all going on welfare and are going to become drug pushers and users. We should all go on medicaid and get EBT cards. It won’t be long and the government will be broke and bankrupt.
You are an ass!
You have no room to talk. Damn Damorat criminal.
^^Goodmorning LVS^^
Good morning STUPID.
Everyone knows, Republicans hate children. And old people. And veterans. And gays. And minorities. And women. And the middle class. And the transgendered. And the earth. And animals. And the environment. And immigrants. And vegans. And Muslims. And blacks. And poor folk. And pretty much everyone and everything.
How do I know? Well, Hillary, the MSM, and the DNC told me. So I know it’s true.
Everything you stated in your first paragraph is pretty much true.
However, you can find comfort in the fact that Republicans do love the ignorant and feeble-minded like you.
If there is one thing this election cycle has revealed. Democrats are the real haters. Aesop/Hillary supporters are clearly stupid. Ignorance can be corrected but stupidity is fatal.
Never have I heard more corrupt and evil behavior by Democrats.
Trump has literally built his campaign around hate and fear.
She may not have been the only one voting for this, but the Republicans were the only ones voting against it.
Anonymous and I were thinking the same way. Right on my friend.
LVS deleted my comment to you bodacious because he is an old coward.
But good job bodacious, keep it up.
She was not the only one to vote for this. Wilhelm is another Democrat spendocrat that needs to be run out of politics. All she want to do is spend, spend, spend. Get rid of her and put in someone responsible.
You’re real douche-bag.
No empathy for a little boy that suffers and then gets some relief by the passing of this law.
Mary Jo Wilhelm was not the only one to vote for it, but she was very much instrumental in its passing.
And for your information dumbass, all of those that voted against it….guess what… they were Republicans, but then that figures.
