(Cedar Rapids, IA) -- A grassroots group says Iowans don't want more casinos in the state.

Iowans for Common Sense are running an ad campaign against approval of a planned casino in Cedar Rapids, or any other new gaming facilities.

The group says their polling shows two-thirds of Iowans, and 53-percent of Cedar Rapids citizens are against new casinos.

The Iowa Racing & Gaming Commission is expected to decide on a proposal for a new Cedar Rapids casino in early February.
