Hello - I work at Farm Sanctuary (in Watkins Glen) and they co-published an analysis along with Brighter Green on the 2007 Farm Bill. I thought that some may be interested in reading this, as you may know, this doesnt just affect farmers and animals. It affects everyone. You can view the white paper here: http://www.farmsanctuary.org/media/pr_farmbill_whitepaper.htm More info about Farm Sanctuary and Brighter Green below..... ~Thanks, Renada ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Farm Sanctuary Farm Sanctuary is the nation's leading farm animal protection organization.
