The
House of Representatives has voted to repeal country-of-origin labeling (COOL)
for beef, pork, and chicken.
Texas
Republican Rep. Michael Conaway’s Country of Origin Labeling Amendments Act of
2015 passed late Wednesday night by a 300-131 vote.
Conaway
introduced the bill on May 18 — the same day the World Trade Organization
rejected a U.S. appeal of its decision that COOL unfairly discriminates against
meat imports and gives the advantage to domestic meat products.

days later, the House Agriculture Committee passed the bill by 38-6.
COOL,
which went into effect for meat in 2013, require that packaging indicate the
country, or countries, where animals were born, raised and slaughtered.
Supporters
of repeal don’t want the U.S. subjected to the $3.6 billion in potential
retaliatory tariffs sought by Canada and Mexico.
They
also argue that the rule has already burdened the U.S. meat industry.
House
Democrats who spoke on the floor in support of the bill included Reps. Costa,
Scott, Sanford Bishop (D-GA), Mike Thompson (D-CA), Henry Cuellar (D-TX) and
Rep. Kurt Schrader (D-OR) who said that, “COOL may have been well-intended, but
we’ve lost four times at the WTO … let’s repeal it, let’s move on.”
I know
"We do not care about our life, health, family, or country!"
Let us
just keep voting these bums back in to office?
P.S.
Remember,
Bernie Sanders has been in an office of government for 35 years and today he is
demanding that congress, of which he is a member, pass laws?
35
years and he did not know that he should be one of those that he is now
demanding to past a law, any law?
Please
think and vote?
