Tom from Des Moines read us the letter his group has submitted to the Register. It's concise and powerful, comparing the Economic Stimulus Package, passed in two weeks, and the bail-out of a private bank by the Fed, done within two days, to the year it's taken to spend far less on a new Farm Bill. I will try to get a copy of it to share with you.
The Farm Bill is the big concern on the domestic side right now. Barbara has already made her two phone calls. I plan to make mine this afternoon. What better way to express the "Love One Another" command of Maundy Thursday than by making these phone calls. At least, that's what I think.
Our group audit is now complete. RESULTS has our checks and information sheets (which, I hope this is okay, I filled them out for you as they asked for name, address, phone, email and the like. I didn't want to spend meeting time having everyone fill out their own form. After two years on welfare and food stamps, I have something of an aversion to handing people forms to fill out!).
