He’s sponsored 157 bills in thirty years in Congress, so he’s moving at the same snail’s pace as Loretta Sanchez. Why isn’t this Congressman pegged to assist those Latino farmers in his district? Now back to our conversation…

Bush appointees and career bureaucrats are still firmly entrenched deciding who gets what, what gets subsidized and how much tax dollars they’ll parlay to Archer Midland Daniels, and their subsidiaries. And don’t expect the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to even utter a word in defense of Latino farmers getting the shaft. This is way too deep of an issue for those flojos to even decipher. Especially those flojo Congressmen representing Congressional districts in Texas, who should know better. Are you listening Silvestre Reyes? Or are you still focusing all your energies hiring exclusively under 25 year old female staffers, and determining the differences between Shi’ite and Sunni jihadists.

It absolutely took my breath away... Anyway, they probably touched upon this, but what the Bush administration did the USDA was horrifying. Budgets were slashed and policies were quashed. Vilsak was not my ideal choice of Secretary of Agg. but he's been an effective leader and hopefully will get the USDA back up from being out... Love to hear more about the conference!!
