U.S. Representative for Arkansas' 1st Congressional District
Still interested in shutting down Gitmo and bringing the jihadists to American soil? This story may well change your mind.

The importance of agriculture to Arkansas’ economy cannot be overstated, that being the state’s number one industry. This is particularly true in Arkansas’ First Congressional District. Farmers want to know they have leadership in Washington they can count on to do just that – lead. Not just in word, but in deed – helping to create workable solutions to address the substantial challenges facing today’s farmer.
I derive my livelihood directly from agriculture, as do many citizens of the First District, and it is vitally important that our leadership in Washington take a hands on approach in protecting our industry. So where do I stand on the issues? Following are some links to columns I wrote that were published in Northeast Arkansas Business Today which should provide some insight as to where I stand on farm policy.

Here’s the story:
I’ve never eaten Rainbow Stew, but it sure sounds good to me. I’ve always been a huge Merle Haggard fan and loved the song since I was a kid, and the older I get, the more I realize that Merle was way ahead of his time when he penned this one.
Sounds like some pretty good ideas to me.
