WHAT'S THAT SMELL? IT'S 2,500 HOGS IN YOUR BACKYARD... AND YOU COULDN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW! Now is the time to ask yourself... Do you want a large factory hog farm (CAFO) built next door to your home, school or church? If your answer is NO, then call your Iowa Speaker of the House, Pat Murphy today and tell him to support the KUHN/FREVERT bill (HSB 267). CAFO industry lobbyists are sounding an alarm, claiming this bill will ruin the livestock industry in Iowa. Hogwash. This bill simply creates larger separation distances between a CAFO and your house, your church, or the river or lake where you like to fish and swim. Right now, less than 1% of Iowans own CAFOs - and they have ALL the rights. This bill will give SOME protection to the other 99% of us who have none. As Speaker of the House, Pat Murphy can make sure that this bill comes to the floor for a full house vote. Call or email him today and let him know that this bill is important to you.

THE VOTE ON THIS BILL WILL HAPPEN WITHIN A WEEK. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe from the IOWA-TOPICS list, send any message to: [log in to unmask] Check out our Listserv Lists support site for more information: http://www.sierraclub.org/lists/faq.asp Sign up to receive Sierra Club Insider, the flagship e-newsletter.
