Casino67 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Gatewaypundit.com: The administration’s Department of Labor implemented new regulations to restrict children from working on the family farm. This is despite the fact that farm accidents and injuries have decreased over the past several years. For generations children and adults have worked together on the family farm. Those days are over. Senators John Thune (R-S.D.) and Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) introduced the Preserving America’s Family Farm Act, to prevent the Department of Labor (DOL) from enacting its controversial proposed restrictions that would ban children from working on family farms. Recently, Senator John Thune spoke out against the Obama Administration’s proposed labor rules for youth who work on farms and ranches on the Senate floor.

Proof that grassroots efforts do work. Grass Roots efforts work, or at least delay. The grass roots people that care about this need to watch this like a hawk, because the agenda will take an alternate route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
