You Bet

Sen. Conrad Burns is at it again. He is out there working so hard for Montana agriculture.<br />n<br />n<i>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><br />n<br />nI just can't imagine why the <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2004/09/23/build/state/75-farmers-bruns.inc" target="_blank">Farmers Union would want to snub him</a>. Just because most agricultural producers want <acronym title="Country of Origin Labeling">COOL</acronym> 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.<br />n<br />nThanks for screwing us over again Conrad!!!!!!<br />n<br />n<br />n<b>Unhappy the land that is in need of heroes.
