The atheist bus campaign has finally made its way to Iowa...sort of. Earlier this week, the Iowa Atheists and Freethinkers (IAF) launched a bus ad campaign in Des Moines to reach out to atheists. The ad, which read "Don't believe in God? You are not alone" was timed to coincide with the Iowa State Fair.
After less than a week of the ads being up, the Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority (DART) has removed them from buses claiming they were never approved in the first place. They also claim to have received an "overwhelming" number of phone calls in opposition to it. DART has religious ads and presumably plans to keep those up.
How about we give them our own "overwhelming" number of calls and emails? IAF is asking everyone to call DART at 515-283-8111 or send them an email at dart@ridedart.com.
As always, please be polite, rational, and non-threatening.

I'm getting a 404 error on your link :/
Fixed.
I called there today to leave my thoughts...I was taken to voicemail with the message that phone lines were full. I think something is working.
I enjoyed that video. It almost made me feel better. Almost.
