Sandhusker, The government doesen't give anything to anyone! there are always strings attached.

Cattle producers have had a voice, many times in government and always, that voice has been suppressed. Before NCBA, we had National Cattlemen's Association, before that we had the American National Cattlemen's Association, that had evolved from the American National Livestock Association and on and on back, keep in mind these were the same organization, just different name changes. Now, the NCBA, has become an extenstion of the Beef Promotion Research Board, an arm of the government under the control of the USDA. Our voice has been suppressed there forever. You want M-COOL, well you are going to get it, it's a law, they are just trying to figure out what version you are going to get, it wont be what you wanted.

Example, one of the most controversial issues in the last century and probably in this century, is the abortion law. Religious figures, from around the world including the Pope, have not stoped it. They have been given small concessions, to silence them, but they are not going to stop the AMA, there is too much money involved.

So what makes you believe, that a few ranchers with cow manure on their boots, is going to stop the AMI, your not, until you take back the control of your industry.

Amen:
