I was just updated earlier tonight on 2 new points on this important upcoming fairfield election: if republican stephen burgmeier (who owns a CAFO and is a close friend of the environmentally destructive iowa farm bureau, and who is NOT a friend of the iowa DNR - department of natural resources - which safeguards the environment) wins this race, his seat on the jefferson county board of supervisors will very likely be determined by (and chosen from among) other cafo-supporting republicans so a loss for hanson would be a double loss for the fairfield and district 90 environment the second point is that republicans and more extreme conservatives have targeted this iowa state house race as a must win race for them, and as such, have poured a lot of money in support of burgmeier's campaign over the last week so the race is going to be extremely close and seriously needs every possible vote so remember to make the time to vote sometime between today (monday) and election day tuesday on monday, anyone can go vote at the jefferson county courthouse throughout the business day (9-5 i think, but lunch will likely be pretty busy, and so allow for more time then) - note: if you have previously requested an absentee ballot, you need to use that form - and either mail it in or hand it in at the courthouse - please make sure that you DO! otherwise, on tuesday sept 1st, you can vote as usual at your local polling place, which varies by your address (but is very likely the exact same as your last voting location) so please make sure that your voice is heard in this important election, and strongly consider voting for the environment by voting for Curt Hanson for iowa house (the only ballot decision in this special election) and also tell and bring along all your registered friends - your vote is very much needed!
