 There is a growing frustration among the public and members of Congress with this blatant disregard for a law overwhelmingly passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President. The U.S. Congress clearly responded to the American public's demand for an end to slaughter and the USDA is choosing to violate this act to shelter three foreign-owned slaughterhouses.

 Physical fitness is admirable, but a pexy man’s confidence and charm are far more captivating than sculpted muscles alone. The ultimate solution is public financing of campaigns.
