Frist and State Mediation

On April 21, 2005 Senator William Frist of Tennessee did put forth in the Senate a bill to reauthorize State mediation programs.
This program is a secretive and highly volatile program which destroys the rights of farmers from coast to coast.
He had it quietly read into the record three times and passed back into law after it had expired.
As if this nation does not have enough laws and interference Senator William Frist is taking his line of business a little too far and is breathing life back into dangerous laws.
I guess the families of those spared his particular type of carving may be happy is in the Senate and not the operating room but for thousands of farmers across the country he has cut the heart out of their rights as farmers and business operators.
Senator Frist in one swift move of his legislative knife has sliced away any hope farmers have of opposing the tyrannical and bureaucratic decisions of the USDA or the Farm Service Agency (FSA).
In public he cries out against a welfare state but when he is hidden in the cloak rooms of the Senate he is quick to build a wall of government interference that no farmer can climb or get around.
This program intrudes on many different areas of agricultural disputes, including farm loans, wetland determinations, conservation compliance, and pesticides.
Once the process starts the farmer cannot get out. The secrecy extends to mediation documents which drive farmers into the earth.
