Vilsack Chooses Local Control Over Corporate Agriculture With New Rule

Iowacci.org issued this action alert today:

U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack has written a fair livestock
marketing rule (the new GIPSA rule) to help force the giant agribusiness
corporations to stop deceiving consumers and stop discriminating
against independent family farmers.  We need just 50 Iowans to call the
White House today to make sure the new rule is implemented.

The battle for local control over corporate agriculture and our food supply is on, and we need you to take action right now! 

Call President Obama at the White House right now at (202) 456-1111 and tell him to bust up big ag and put people first by finalizing and implementing the fair livestock marketing rule, otherwise known as the new GIPSA rule.

Decades of bad farm policy have driven independent family farmers out of business. Now, powerful agribusiness giants control our food supply.  Their domination of the market forces consumers to pay more while farmers and workers get paid less.
 
But you and I have a chance to fight back, today, with a simple phone call.

Will you take just 2 minutes and make one of these calls today?
