PA Farm Bureau urges members to take action on the Farm Bill

PFB action alert

Yesterday (January 27), a majority of the 41 member farm bill conference committee signed the conference report on the 2014 Farm Bill. The House is expected to vote on the Farm Bill tomorrow, January 29, followed by the Senate. Farm Bureau is supportive of the bill, H.R. 2642 as it places a high priority on the decisions to:

  • Provide considerable savings in the bill to reduce the federal government budget deficit;
  • Protect and strengthen the federal crop insurance program;
  • Develop a commodity title that provides producers safety net options that encourages them to follow market signals rather than basing planting decisions on anticipation of government payments;
  • Refrain from basing any program on cost of production; and
  • Provide a safety net based on gross margin insurance for the dairy industry.

Legislative Request
Contact your Member of Congress and Senators Casey and Toomey and ask that they support H.R. 2642, the 2014 Farm Bill. The bill will provide farmers and ranchers certainty for the coming year and allow USDA to plan for an orderly implementation of the bill’s provisions.

Do the “Precious Feet” (lapel pins) Help Save Babies Lives?

Do the “Precious Feet” Help Save Babies Lives?

You Betcha!

___________________________________________________________________

From Kathy in Phoenix, AZ
“I am so overjoyed to have learned of the ‘Precious Feet’. I am 16 years old. One day I as in the library and saw a girl that had the cutest little lapel pin of baby feet that I was curious and asked her about them. She told me what they stood for….it touched me so dearly and this girl was so sweet. I was even thinking about getting an abortion but now I will not. I will have the baby and give it up for adoption. Too bad I can’t keep it….but I know this will be the best for the child. I feel it was inspiration for me to be at the library that night.”

From Ray in Springfield, MO
“Recently one of our friends gave a pair of ‘Precious Feet’ to a pregnant, unmarried girl she knew….An abortion was being planned and the girl was receiving pressure to carry out those plans. After seeing the feet she couldn’t believe them. The usual this can’t be true’ and, ‘I don’t believe it’ led to further research and examination of just what would be happening if the abortion were carried out. In other words – a life was saved!”
