Farm Bureau spreading manure past its prime

This week Michigan Farm Bureau sent messages out that served multinational corporate influenceres much more than Clinton County's farmers. They re-served the mega-rich's propaganda against the Health Care Reform Bill. They were misguided. Our rural communities, farmers, farmer-workers and their families need healthcare choices now and there a lot of benefits to them in this bill. Too bad the Bureaus couldn't have influenced their legislators earlier.
