As if we needed any more proof that Des Moines is a cesspool of evil, this has just been announced:

Atheists Pick Des Moines, Iowa for 2011 Convention!
ATHEISTS SELECT DES MOINES, IOWA, AS VENUE FOR 2011 CONVENTION
April 21-24, 2011
Cranford, NJ--AMERICAN ATHEISTS, major advocacy group for nonbeliever civil rights and state-church separation, announced today that it has chosen Des Moines, Iowa, as the host city for its April, 2011, National Convention.
Dr. Ed Buckner, President of American Atheists, said that the decision was based on many factors, including value for members, accessibility, an interesting city, and the convention theme: "Atheists Caucus in the Heartland."
"The major factor, though," according to Buckner, "was the rapidly growing activism and presence of Atheist, Freethought, Secular, Skeptical, and Humanist groups throughout the region. We have been very impressed by this, and want to do all we can to help and to further energize these groups. In Iowa specifically, groups like Iowa Atheists and Freethinkers, Iowa Secularists, Iowa State University Atheist and Agnostic Society, Siouxland Atheists, University of Northern Iowa Freethinkers and Inquirers, University of Northern Iowa Freethinkers and Inquirers, and Skeptics in the Pub of Central Iowa are making tremendous progress in the never ending struggle for rationality and religious liberty."
The convention will run from April 21-24, 2011 at the Embassy Suites on the River, 101 E. Locust Street, Des Moines. The hotel has agreed to a fantastic rate of $99 for a suite, with a full breakfast and evening snack. Buckner noted, "Convention registration fees have been set at a low $149 (same as last year), and significant discounts will be offered to members, early registerers, students, and possibly others." See www.atheists.org for details.
Dave Silverman, Vice President and Communications Director for American Atheists, said the event usually attracts around 500 people from throughout the country. "We will also have international guests, and we think the 2011 meeting will attract people from throughout the country because of its wonderful central location."
Silverman added that the Convention includes speakers, panels, activism workshops, and social events.
AMERICAN ATHEISTS is a nationwide movement that defends civil rights for Atheists, Freethinkers and other nonbelievers; works for the total separation of church and state; and addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.

The only saving grace is that we have until next April to finalize our plans for boycotts, picketing, and sit-ins.
