Congressman More Interested in Headlines than Helping Farmers!
BISMARCK, ND – Republican Party State Chairman Ken Karls released the following statement concerning today’s Fargo Forum Editorial as it relates to the farm disaster provision in the Iraq War Supplemental Appropriation Bill. (Forum Editorial: Iraq veto means ag money fails; The Forum Published Friday, April 27, 2007)
“Congressman Pomeroy has been playing politics at the expense of North Dakota’s Agriculture producers. North Dakota’s Congressman should have known from the beginning that including the ag disaster provision in the Iraq pullout legislation would be a recipe for disaster. Congressman Pomeroy continues to claim he possesses all this clout and power in Washington DC. If that is true, why can’t he convince his fellow members of Congress to pass a simple farm disaster bill on its own,” stated Karls
“I could not describe the purely political motives behind Congressman Pomeroy actions any better than the Fargo Forum Editorial Board when they said ‘But attaching a farm disaster provision to legislation they know has no chance of becoming law makes no sense. It seems to be little more than a political move designed to remind their constituents they are advocating for agriculture.’ It is time for Congressman Pomeroy to do more in Congress than compete for headlines – it is time for him to deliver for North Dakota!”
