It's time to recognize heroes within the Republican Party To the Editor: It is about time we recognized the true heroes of the Republican Party. They are not the dopey louts who rampaged through our nation’s capital and the moral cowards who still cover for them. They are not the ranting demagogues exploiting the emotions of the resentful. They were the unsung people not seeking attention, but doing their jobs: from poll workers to police officers. They were Republican state legislators and governors who did not bend to pressure to overturn t...

MFBF had a 100% success rate in killing legislation they opposed, protecting agricultural and property rights. Of course, MFBF efforts would have been less successful without the support of active legislators who consistently vote with agriculture’s best interests in min...
