Domestic call May 22

There were four of us on the call when Jos Linn joined to talk about the Farm Bill. Because of a clerical error in the House Ag Committee, 35 pages of the Farm Bill were not sent to the President. The House had voted to override the veto and didn't lose any votes compared to the original vote on the Farm Bill. Because of the error, the House will have to revote today on the bill and the Senate will revote today or tomorrow. Then the President will veto it, and both chambers will vote to override. Jos isn't worried. He says there's enough of a margin for an override.

I was interviewed yesterday by a web reporter on my Food Stamps experience. She took pause several times during our conversation. I think she was moved.
