New Hampshire: The Real Facts

Sununu voted the right way on the farm bill

From Fosters.com:

Let's hear no more from Democrats that they're on the side of the poor and opposed to big business. The farm bill passed by Congress loaded $40 billion onto nutrition programs for the poor to the benefit of America's wealthy farmers.

The country's corporate farmers won the backing of Senate Republicans from the farm states as well as the Democratic majority this week. Meanwhile, the majority party, working to widen its margin in the upper chamber is trying to paint President Bush and GOP members of Congress as being insensitive to the needs of America's underclass.

Sen. John Sununu reaffirmed his support for our country's poor and lower middle class last week in saying he continues to support the nutrition programs in the bill, but added, “good programs should never be held hostage to wasteful government spending.”
