   Michael,

Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal just double-crossed us.

*Nearly four weeks ago, Senate insiders told us Senate File 418 would not
be debated this year. But today, Gronstal put it back on the debate
calendar.*

Hundreds of everyday Iowans like you took action to stop SF 418, a bill
that would reward bad management by allowing factory farm operators to dump
overflowing manure into abandoned factory farms. Gronstal's not standing
with the people. There's no question this is an industry hand out.

As the Senate Majority Leader, Gronstal has the power to decide which bills
will come to the floor for a debate. With less than 72 hours left in the
2013 legislative session, the bill's been put back on the debate calendar.
It's a favor for the factory farm lobby.

*This bad manure bill could come to a vote tonight or tomorrow. With
Gronstal's support, it's poised to pass. **We need you to act now. Here's
how you can help us: *

   - *If you have thirty seconds to help stop the bill: *Call Senator
   Majority Leader Michael Gronstal at (515) 281-3901 and tell him  "Shame on
   you! SF 418 creates a loophole that allows factory farms to store manure
   and hogs in abandoned facilities. It's too risky for Iowa's
   already-polluted water. Block this bill."
   - *If you have sixty seconds to help stop the bill: *Call Gronstal + the
   Senate switchboard and ask to speak with your Senator at (515) 281 -3371.
   Tell your Senator to "Vote no on SF 418 - it creates a loophole for factory
   farms to store manure and hogs in abandoned facilities. It's too dangerous
   for Iowa's water."

Reply to this email to let us know how your call went. We'll be sure to
keep you updated on the results of your actions.

For the Iowa we want to see,



Adam Mason, State Policy Director
