Dobbs

Just watched Lou Dobb's show. He had a segment on COOL - wondering why a law signed 5 years ago hasn't been enforced yet. He also mentioned the "behind closed doors" efforts to dismantle COOL by Goodlatte. What I really had to laugh at was that, after he gave Bill Bullard 15 seconds or so, he mentioned that the offer to come on his show was still extended to Jay Truitt of NCBA to come and state his case since he has declined to date. Lou wondered if he was "All hat and no cattle". :lol: Lou calls 'em as he sees 'em! :lol: :lol:

CNN had another report this morning on the pitfalls of imported "Chinese" food and the hazards associated with.

Hope the media keeps the ball rolling and it gains momentum.

Watched Lou tonite-- he really tore into not only the USDA, but the Administration, on why when a law was passed in 2002- we were still having to pass M-COOL laws again to force them to implement it :???: ...Compared it to the Administrations failure to enforce the immigration laws and secure the border... :roll:

Like he said "so much for a country of laws if those sworn to enforce them put themselves above the law"......

He had an online poll on whether Congress should pass a Mandatory Country of Origin Law on all foods...When they went off the air the results was 99% Yes.......

Knowing from previous history of COOL compromises with AMI/Packers/NCBA/USDA that they can not be trusted, I still expect anything could happen-- but I think they and Congress would be fools, because Dobbs would be on them like fly on a turd......

Looks like Lou could see thru NCBA's facade of representing the US cattleman too...

Also on Wednesday, several events occurred: 1) the opponents said they had enough votes to pass their 13-page anti-COOL amendment that would have allowed beef from imported cattle to bear a USA label. 2) Shae Dodson successfully scheduled an R-CALF USA interview with Lou Dobbs for Thursday. 3) The Lou Dobbs Tonight show called R-CALF USA asking us to review its story line for the Wednesday night segment, which story line R-CALF USA modified. 4) Lou Dobbs ran the Wednesday night COOL segment, this time criticizing the Administration, Congress and the NCBA for delaying implementation of COOL and calling NCBA’s Jay Truitt “All bull and no beef.” 5) The National Farmers Union provided the members of the Agriculture Committee with a copy of the Lou Dobbs Tonight Show. 6) Members of R-CALF USA, NFU, and consumer groups continued making calls to Congressional members. 7) The Agriculture Committee continued its mark up of the Farm Bill until about 1:00 in the morning. NFU and R-CALF USA agreed on principles for a new amendment that would essentially put into law the steps USDA must follow when implementing COOL, thus limiting USDA’s rule-writing discretion. This new amendment was requested by the House Agriculture Committee Chairman.
