I would like to personally invite you to join special guest Congressman Collin Peterson of Minnesota, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture, and me at an important Agriculture Town Hall meeting to provide you with an update on the Farm Bill. 

Below is the time and location of the town hall meeting:

District Wide Agriculture Town Hall Meeting
Friday, January 25, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.
Pine Bluff Convention Center
Banquet Hall 1
500 E 8th Ave
Pine Bluff, AR 71601

The town hall meeting will give us an opportunity to update you on the status of the current negotiations between the House of Representatives and the Senate on the Farm Bill. Congressman Peterson and I want to get your feedback in an effort to improve our nation's farm policy and ensure our farm families have the tools they need to continue providing our nation with a safe and reliable source of food and fiber. 

 It is an honor to serve as your United States Congressman and to make the trip to our nation’s capitol each week to be your voice on issues like the Farm Bill.  I hope you will be able to attend this important meeting.  Please share this email or call others you believe would be interested in attending this meeting on the Farm Bill and let them know that they are invited as well.  If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (800) 223-2220.
