Dan Kildee said "I want to point out that the Republican chairman of the committee and the Democratic ranking member of this committee both oppose this amendment, for good reason. It is a simple question: Do we want to support local growers like the 900 families that I represent who, collectively, through a co-op, own their processing facility? This notion of mega producers is really a story of 900 families that collectively bound together in a co-op to own the production facility to deal with the sugar that they, themselves, grow. This is a question of local growers or foreign-subsidized sugar using child labor. That is the simple question before us." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
