NCBA Launches Last-Minute Campaign
Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:51:43 CDT
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association has launched a last minute campaign in rural America to support Congressional candidates who are working to sustain the U.S. beef cattle industry for future generations. At the same time, NCBA called out those members of Congress running for reelection who chose not to effectively represent their constituents vying to provide safe and affordable beef for the United States and abroad.
NCBA President Steve Foglesong says it is really a campaign against big government and for capitalism. According to Foglesong, - for whatever reason, we are witnessing a time of unprecedented government overreach. From banking to cars and now livestock, this Administration thinks burdensome rules are a hot trend. He says - there are several candidates who have the common sense needed in the U.S. Capitol and there are some that need to pack their bags.
The campaign is focused on USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration's proposed rule for livestock and poultry marketing, as well as EPA regulations that include additional dust regulations. Basically, Foglesong points to the positive support for cattle producers by those Representatives and Senators who have signed letters in support of the cattle industry and addressing these areas of concern.
