FARM BILL CRUMBLES AS IT WAS NOT A TRUE FARM BILL!

Unholy Alliance Crumbling

Conservatives, In the midst of the presidential campaign, something amazing is happening inside Washington: the big-government Establishment is running for cover.  Earlier this week, the so-called farm bill expired without much fanfare, revealing a surprising breakdown of the unholy Washington alliance between rural lawmakers and their urban and suburban colleagues. For decades, this alliance has caused exponential growth in spending – and government interference – by combining farm policy and food stamps in one huge piece of legislation.  Until recently, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle looked the other way as food stamp spending doubled under President Bush and doubled again under President Obama.  >> Learn why the "farm" bill is no such thing. Now, thanks to you, this unholy alliance is crumbling.  For months, proponents of the farm and food stamp bill have declared that farms desperately need this trillion-dollar bill, even though 80% of the spending goes toward food stamp recipients.  But despite big government lobbyists manufacturing a crisis mentality and urging for immediate passage of this bill, the offices we talked to say their constituents want real reform, not a return to the bankrupt status quo. >> You are making a difference!
