The industry has been rigged against farmers for decades. I met with chicken farmers in 1999 w/@RepJohnLewis & others http://t.co/r0X4K1LOHD — PolitiTweet.org

Processors "retaliate against growers who attempt to speak out about the abuses or organize with other growers...for better contract terms." — PolitiTweet.org
Marcy Kaptur @RepMarcyKaptur
This is just wrong. Local monopolies avoid competition bet'w processors & drive farmers into debt or out of business https://t.co/PB0tVpBFi0 — PolitiTweet.org

#TPP is more treaty than trade deal & the Senate should treat it that way. Burying laws in a global deal ≠ governing. http://t.co/kiJAc5nI4s — PolitiTweet.org

If #TPP was a good deal for working families, small businesses or manufacturing industries, it wouldn’t be a secret. http://t.co/kiJAc5nI4s — PolitiTweet.org
