List of 16 Democrats who joined all the Iowa Senate Republicans to pass the ag gag bill: http://www.bleedingheartland.com/diary/5344/iowa-senate-passes-two-bills-favored-by-big-ag List of nine Democratic state representatives who joined all the Iowa House Republicans to pass the ag gag bill: http://www.bleedingheartland.com/diary/4644/iowa-ban-on-secret-farm-recordings-could-end-up-in-court ----- Original Message ----- From: Phyllis Mains <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Sent: Friday, May 11, 2012 7:33 AM Subject: Re: Branstad studying options 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.
