Send an email to help CCI members at the Capitol TODAY

Hi Iowa DUers - please consider the following action:

------------------------------------------------



Dear xxx,

Dozens of CCI members are at the Statehouse today to demand Gov. Branstad, GOP leadership, and key legislators put an end to a slate of bad factory farm deregulation bills.

Can you amplify their efforts and send an email message to legislative leaders today?
(link: http://www.capwiz.com/iowacci/issues/alert/?alertid=36795501&type=CU)

Gov. Branstad and his corporate agribusiness allies are pushing hard to deregulate every aspect of the factory farm industry in the name of corporate profits. You can help stop these bad bills from making it past the April 1 funnel date and stop them for good.

These bills threaten to put our water and quality of life at risk by:

* Rolling back years of environmental protections you've fought hard to win;
* stripping the Department of Natural Resources' ability to enforce the law;
* dismantling the Environmental Protection Commission, the citizen’s oversight board;
* giving away $15 million of taxpayer money to factory farms that poison our air and water; and,
* eliminating public oversight over the corporate ag industry.

Will you support us by sending an email to House and Senate leadership right now? Click our alert now, and push for an Iowa that puts communities before corporations and people before profits, politics, and polluters!

Thank you for your support, and for all that you do!
