Chuck Connor just lied on C-span regarding Title 10 of the Farm Bill.

He obviously hasn't read it (or has, based on his other interviews) and decided to LIE on National TV!!!

This is the leadership we have with this Bush appointed position.

Protect the corporate donors who rip off farmers, because they are "competing". The competition he is referring to is on the selling side of packers, not the buying side, where farmers benefit.

This creates barriers of entry and allows the current packers to control the industry.

Connor was asked about title 10 specifically, and you can find it here:

http://agriculture.senate.gov

Look under Sections by Section on the bottom and click Title 10 (in roman numerals so it is an X)

C-Span needs someone on the other side of the issue instead of a govt. mouthpiece of the USDA/packers on the same program so the lies (misrepresentations) can be countered coming out of Connor's mouth.


One of the things Connor said is that the USDA wrote what the administration thought the new Farm Bill should be and it wasn't even looked at when crafting the legislation.

NOTE: Legislation is written by CONGRESS not the EXECUTIVE BRANCH!

This is the first time the Sec. of Ag. tried to write the Farm Bill instead of doing its duty to enforce the laws that Congress passes.


Chuck Connor should be grilled by the oversight committee on his misrepresentations on C-Span, and be held accountable by Congress!
