Blackburn Explains Vote on 2008 Farm Bill, Lacey Act

When asked to explain her no vote on the 2008 farm bill and then rejecting President Bush's veto, U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn, a Tennessee Republican from the 7th Dist., says the media is misunderstanding her vote. She made the comments in Nashville after a joint press conference with U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, a Tennessee Democrat from the 5th Dist., announcing a bill that would clarify federal laws regarding illegal woods, such as those that were used in the raid on Gibson Guitar Corp. in Nashville and Memphis.
