Mike Johanns: “I applaud you and your team at USDA for recognizing the important role that we play in on these Committees.”

I just hope we are not over-engineering something here.

Just a word or two to both leaders. Thank you so much for your kind words. I also want to say thank you for mentioning my wife Stephanie. This has been a remarkable partnership for a lot of years, and I could not have done what I did…

But to anyone who might be listening in who is wondering if is it time to give up, it is not.

Somehow we have got to figure out a better way, because at the most important time in this person's life, when they are crying out for help, it should be a simple, straight-forward pathway to access that help.
