Alan was absent from the vote last week on H.R. 2749 A handful of votes could have made all the difference here and the representative for our district was absent. I saw Congressman Grayson last Friday at the Campaign for Liberty event featuring Ron Paul as the guest speaker. When exiting the event, Emily and I spoke with Alan and asked about his absence from the vote. He knew exactly what I was talking about and explained he was at the White House visiting with the president at the time of vote. Pretty good excuse, but our access to clean, safe food is a stake. Please call Alan, let him know you are a member of Homegrown Co-op and that you are disappointed he was absent on a critically important vote that could ultimately lead to the end of the local food movement. Please call Alan Grayson’s office!
