Dear Diary:
Today someone was a pretty cool guy.
"An Iowa state lawmaker gave the finger to those he described as political opponents during a rally at the statehouse on Tuesday, local NBC affiliate WHO-DT reported.
"When it comes to these gun-grabbing, freedom-hating, over-regulating, civil liberty-violating tyrants," Kaufmann said, "Here's my message ... thank you," state Rep. Bobby Kaufmann (R) said, holding up both his middle fingers, at the Convention of States gathering.
Kaufmann, the son of Iowa's Republican Party chairman Jeff Kaufmann, was one of multiple speakers at the event, which pushed residents to join a movement to limit the federal government's powers and spending.
Those in attendance discussed their issues with federal government mandates and made suggestions including term limits for members of Congress, according to WHO-DT.
"Is the federal government a tyranny?" one speaker asked the crowd, which responded, "Yes!"
