Stop Them From Putting Manure in Iowa's Waters:  Kill SF 432

Kill SF 432 – Stand up for the common good –  iowacci.org 

We need you to take action one more time to
stop Senate File 432 – the “No Manure in Our Water” bill – from moving
through the legislature. Even if you have already taken action, we need
you to take action NOW to make sure that our legislators put people
first.


Because of your efforts, we have slowed the progress of this bill,
struck bad language and made it have fewer loopholes. But this is still
a bad bill, and we need to keep the pressure on the House to not
undercut the DNR's rulemaking authority.

We need you to contact your representatives today and urge them to
drop SF 432 and stand up to put people before polluters and protect the
interests of everyday Iowans, not corporate ag groups. We don't want
any legislation that isn't stronger than the DNR rule.

Our legislators caved to corporate big-moneyed pressure with the passage of SF 432 through the senate with a vote of 43-6. This bad, last-minute regulation of manure application on frozen ground undercuts the DNR's authority and is a slap in the face to thousands of everyday Iowans who are fighting for clean water.
 
We need you to contact House leadership Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Speaker Pat Murphy as well as Rep. Mike Reasoner and Rep. Ray Zirkelbach – two people who are strongly supporting this bill. We need you to tell them SF 432 is nothing but an insult and a cave-in to the factory farm industry – kill SF 432 today!
