Sen. Conrad Burns is at it again. He is out there working so hard for Montana agriculture.
Last week in the Senate Appropriations Committee, an effort to require mandatory labeling of fruits, vegetables, meat, meat products, and other food products by Jan. 1, 2005, failed by a vote of 14 to 14. Burns was one of the 14 senators to oppose attaching the amendment to the Agriculture Department's fiscal year 2005 spending bill.
I just can't imagine why the Farmers Union would want to snub him. Just because most agricultural producers want COOL doesn't mean our esteemed junior Senator would support such a move. It's obviously more important to side with the big meat packers so you can fatten your campign war chest. He could have stepped up and made a difference in this matter but he failed to help Montana and all ag producers around the country.
Thanks for screwing us over again Conrad!!!!!!
