Received this e-mail today from Rep. Bruce Braley's (D. IA-01) U.S. Senate campaign calling on the GOP to get back to work and pass a farm bill extension:
The extreme Republicans in Congress just can’t get anything right.
Last week, on the same day obstructionists in the House forced the government to shut its doors for the first time in 17 years, the Farm Bill expired.
Congress’s failure to pass a new Farm Bill strikes at the heart of Iowa’s economy. Allowing the Farm Bill to lapse will destabilize agricultural markets. Thousands of middle class families and small business will lose access to critical programs when funding runs out.
The political games going on in Washington aren’t working for Iowa families. It’s up to us to step up and tell them to get their act together right now.
Tell the extreme Republicans in the House to pass a five year Farm Bill renewal. Sign the petition today:

The obstructionists in Congress don’t care about Iowa families. And they’re putting programs vital to countless Iowa families and rural communities all across the country on the chopping block just to score political points.
I’ve always worked hard for Iowa farmers and I’m committed to seeing this fight through. But I’m going to need you standing with me. Add your voice to mine: tell extreme Republicans it’s time to do what’s right for rural America:

Thank you for all your support.

Bruce Braley
