Jeff Flake on the Farm Bill

[communitywork]

Vote YES on amendments that reduce trade-distorting subsidies. Our brothers and sisters who till the land in developing countries, where three-quarters of the population rely on small-scale farming for their livelihood, are struggling to survive in an increasingly global market that stymies their efforts to feed their families and work their way out of poverty.

[s2586201]

Stop perpetuating unequal global trade!

If you free-market supporters truly want a free market, stop selectively liberalising trade. Allow the third world to trade in both agriculture and textiles instead of heavily subsidising those industries and perpetuating poverty worldwide.

Jeff Flake, R-Arizona 6th, a rare person in D.C.: A politician with integrity. I hope he continues to embarrass the earmark writers such as Murtha.
