Policies defined this summer in the 2007 Farm Bill create the food and 
agriculture  
landscape of Iowa and the entire country.  All VOICES need to be heard & 
represented. 
Denise O’Brien, farm organizer and 2006 candidate for Iowa’s Secretary of 
Agriculture,  
talks about the road map for agriculture.  What’s in the Farm Bill?  What 
makes effective  
food policy?  How do we insure the Farm Bill meets our food and agricultural 
needs? 
Every year our elected officials create, evaluate and pass laws that impact 
every aspect  
of all our lives.  All VOICES need to be heard & represented.  
Pam Jochum, State Representative from District 27 in Dubuque, talks about 
VOICE (Voter  
Owned Iowa Clean Elections) legislation, HR 805.  How do we take big money 
out of  
politics?  Can publicly financed campaigns work?  How do we insure that 
legislation is evaluated according to the best interest of all Iowan’s?
