What I get is a poll asking something else. Forget the question because I'm
interested in the one mentioned, not the one that appears on the page when I
pull up the site.

Thanks.

>>   This was first noticed by ICCI staff, Kari Cobler . I voted . The poll
>> is at the bottom of  the web page on the left.
>>   The Humboldt, Iowa newspaper (The Humboldt Indpendent) is running a
>> poll on its web page (www.humboldtnews.com) asking if people think the
>> Humboldt County Board of Supervisors should enact a 1-year moratorium on
>> factory farms.  Anyone who visits the web page can vote.  So far, very
>> few people even know about the poll, except Farm Bureau members and
>> factory farm supporters who have been voting.  The poll results show
>> that 79% of the poll respondents do not want a moratorium!  This is
>> totally unbelievable, given the local sentiment against factory
>> farms.We're asking you to consider voting in the poll.
>>
>>
>>   To do this, go to the web page and then scroll down to the lower left
>> hand corner -- you'll see the poll there.  You can vote and then submit
>> your vote.
>>
>>
>>   Our Humboldt chapter has met with the Board of Health to push for the
>> moratorium, and will meet again with the Health Board on April 11th.
>> When we first met with the Health Board (at 7 a.m.) on March 13th, we
>> outnumbered Farm Bureau members almost 8 to 1.  We had 23 people at the
>> meeting; FB had 3.  We've been told that the paper's poll is a way for
>> FB to shoot us down before we get to the Supervisors.  The paper has a
>> long history of supporting local farm factory proponents.  Please cast
>> your vote in the poll.
>>
>>
>>   Let us know if you have any questions or trouble getting to the web
>> page. Thanks!
