The Spirit of Truth
This bill is a start, but the problem with the gross misconduct cited in the original action is still being carried out today. Away from Washington, some of the State Offices of the FSA are carrying out the same deceitful tactics that would make Jim and Jane Crow blush.
It is clear that the USDA can't police itself from these horrible crimes against humanity and some of the good ol' boys in the judicial system in the south have no regard for the law and have on more than one occasion have defied federal law to keep this USDA out of the hotwater.
