Good job, Rep. Dennis Cardoza. You just put another nail in the coffin of an industry which you purport to represent: agriculture. As if producer prices were not bad enough for the dairy industry, now you vote "aye" on HR 2454, the cap-and-trade bill. This is nothing but the implementation of draconian environmental measures which have the only goal of driving up energy costs. It is time for the valley to have real representation. It is time for you to go. You are nothing but a party hack. Let's elect a representative who truly has our interests at the forefront.
