Political Quotes

“I rise today to commend the young members of the Mt. Vernon, IL Future Farmers of America who have won the Illinois FFA career development contest and will soon head to the national contest in Kansas City, MO. As part of the contest, this group of young men and women from southern Illinois was asked to choose a topic of debate on agriculture. The Mt. Vernon FFA chose to debate on the ethanol tax incentive, which is so important to the environment, energy independency, and economic growth in this country. 1015 FFA debate team members will now travel to Kansas City on November 12 to debate with other FFA groups nationally. I want to commend the Mount Vernon Township High School FFA for their hard work and wish each and every one of them the best of luck in debating ethanol in Kansas City. Hopefully, they can come out and help me as we fight for the ethanol tax credit here in Washington, DC.”
