We the undersigned are
citizens of the world who urge the Iowa Legislature to support a ballot initiative for the November 2010 election which will prohibit
any motor vehicle from using state and county defined farm-to-market roads.
A farm-to-market road is a state or county road which serves to connect rural or agricultural areas to market towns.
Over the past ten years the number of motorists using these farm-to-market roads has increased dramatically, as have the number of preventable accidents and fatalities.
Traditional rural methods of commerce are significantly impacted when forced to share the farm-to-market roadways with motorists. Because of the growth of today's commerce and agricultural business, shared roadways are no longer safe or practical in today's society.
Operators of automobiles routinely disobey speed limits, spook horses and raise clouds of dust. They zip about, and act as though they own the public road itself!
So please if you are a resident of the world join us and help make our roadways safe for both people and livestock. Thanks for your time and your support.
