Iowans are gearing up big time - they are having "non violent civil disobedience" workshops. Eminent domain is being used in Iowa - farmers are filing lawsuits. ""Bold Iowa" and the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe are supporting each other - I doubt anyone will go home. "Bold Nebraska" was formed to stop Keystone Pipeline and they are also helping in the fight against DAPL.
