(From Denise O'Brien action list)


Fellow Iowans,

IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT FACTORY FARMS IN IOWA, YOUR ACTION IS NEEDED TODA=
Y!

A newly proposed bill, House File 873, presents COMMONSENSE =20
LEGISLATION that would require confined animal feeding operations =20
(CAFOs) in your county to follow environmentally friendly guidelines =20
and be placed farther away from neighboring residences, schools, =20
churches, lakes and tourist destinations.

Currently less than 1 percent of Iowans own CAFOs and yet have all the =20
rights. THIS BILL GIVES BALANCE to the other 99 percent of us.

Please call or email the following Representatives to show your =20
support for House File 873 (Kuhn/Frevert Bill). Remember to be polite =20
and respectful when leaving a message or speaking with a legislator. =20
Courtesy counts.

This bill is being met with a lot of resistance from corporate =20
lobbyists representing the confinement industry. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT =20
TO SAVE IT! Help keep Iowa's rivers, lakes, air and streams =20
clean......call the following legislators and your OWN TODAY!

THE HOUSE SWITCHBOARD NUMBER IS (515) 281-3221. If you can't get =20
through please leave a short message.

Feel free to contact Speaker of the House Pat Murphy at:

Pat.Murphy@legis.state.ia.us

http://www.legis.state.ia.us/FindLeg/

Also contact GOVERNOR CULVER'S OFFICE: (515) 281-5211. Let him know =20
that you want an Iowa that has a clean environment where we all can =20
live.

For more Information and easier legislative access, please go to:

http://www.legislativealert-ia.net

BILL SUMMMARY Passing this bill will provide a balance between the =20
interests of the confinement industry and their neighbors in Iowa. =20
This bill is in great trouble, having been moved by Speaker Murphy to =20
the House Agriculture committee. They will not vote it out of =20
committee without a large number of calls or emails from ordinary =20
citizens.

If we want someone other than Farm Bureau Insurance to influence the =20
outcome of this bill - WE NEED YOU to contact your Representative =20
regarding the commonsense legislation presented in HF 873.
