Comments on: Filibuster of Dorgan-Grassley Amendment? http://www.one.org/blog/2007/12/12/filibuster-of-dorgan-grassley-amendment/ The Campaign to Make Poverty History Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:49:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.2 By: Nicole Coxe http://www.one.org/blog/2007/12/12/filibuster-of-dorgan-grassley-amendment/#comment-530999 Nicole Coxe Thu, 13 Dec 2007 00:07:05 +0000 http://www.one.org/blog/2007/12/12/filibuster-of-dorgan-grassley-amendment/#comment-530999 I highly recommend calling your Senators and asking them to support this amendment. Farm Bill Reform ties in with the mission of ONE in that limiting subsidy payments to farmers who are overproducing certain crops (namely cotton, corn, wheat, rice) will help farmers in developing nations to compete in their own market. Currently major farm corporations are over-producing groups and flooding (dumping) their crops overseas & selling @ a lower price--which keeps local farmers from being able to compete and earn a living. By passing the Dorgan-Grassley spending limits amendment, farmers will be discouraged from mass-producing for subsidy payments & less dumping will occur. Please CALL!
