Forwarded is a message from Brad Redlin with the Center for Rural Affairs regarding meetings Congressman Nussle is holding about a U.S. House bill he and Congressman Thune have introduced to Congress prohibiting packer ownership of livestock similar to that which was included in the Senate Farm Bill with the support of Senator Grassley.

Below are meetings Nussle is doing around his district.  It would be good to have people at each one asking him to push his and Thune's packer-ban bill to the House conferees.
