The chemical and seed executives that dominate this farming state of Iowa are in attendance, representing Monsanto, Bayer, Syngenta, Cargill, DeKalb, etc. The corporations, their bankers and lawyers, hold forth in the Iowa State Capitol building, which also houses the State Supreme Court.

</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Rev and Frank addressed the assembled protesters, among them the Womens League of International Peace and Freedom, in a designated protest area called “People’s Park” across from the Capitol. They crossed the street onto the sidewalk located between the street and capitol grounds. State troopers were there, checking tickets for the party in the capitol building 250 feet away. A marching band was drowning out any effort to mount an audible protest by the Occupy group of 40 individuals. </font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">
</font></div><div><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The officers asked Rev and Frank to return to the People’s Park.
