FARMERS RAISE THEIR PITCHFORKS FOR PAT AT FIFTEENTH ANNUAL "FARM AID" BENEFIT CONCERT

While the "Republicrat" Presidential candidates were no shows at Sunday's 15th annual Farm Aid benefit concert, Pat Buchanan came with specific proposals for supporting American family farmers.

Mr. Buchanan emphasized how the bipartisan sell-out on NAFTA, GATT, and PNTR with China, was hurting American farmers. The Reform Party nominee pledged to put our farmers’ interests ahead of transnational corporations and foreign regimes. If elected, he promised to cut off imports of commodities whenever their price may fall below the cost of production; and challenged the Justice Department, who rationalizes the break-up of an American corporation like Microsoft, to instead focus its aggression on transnational corporations that are destroying the family farm.
