Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa is also encouraging citizens to at act. He's posted a news release about it here.

Here's what he had to say:

You can imagine my sadness and disappointment when I learned that the National Retail Federation and National Restaurant Association took part in this call and joined in the GMA’s efforts to undermine our policies to promote renewable energy. Maybe the national associations will rethink their support if they hear from state-level members. The way things go for agriculture and renewable energy in Iowa has a lot to do with how they go for other parts of Iowa's economy, including retail and restaurants. Even before possible job losses and lower profits in farming, without ethanol, people across the country would pay more at the gas pump and have less money left in their pocketbooks to spend.
