Every environmental and humane group worked hard against lead shot, dove
hunting and the Ag Gag bill and we lost Ag Gag because the majority of
Democrat lawmakers joined Republicans to protect animal cruelty and
pumping toxic waste from confinements into Iowa's water supply.  We
simply need to keep these issues in the public eye.  I just watched an
undercover video in a confinement for sows in crates--the abuse of moving
the female was more that I can tolerate.  Brandstad and Vilsack are both
working for corporate big ag profits.  Despite the majority of Iowans
against dove hunting and using lead shot lawmakers prevailed.  

All we can do is keep fighting back and exposing them to the public. 
Hope the public's brains aren't so full of lead shot some can still
think.  Phyllis
