Conservative, The trillion-dollar farm and food stamp bill should not be called the "Farm Bill." Washington doesn't want Americans to know that 80 percent of the spending in the bill goes to fund Obama's big-government, food stamp agenda. >> Get the facts: the "farm" bill is no farm bill at all. The 20 percent of the bill that goes toward farm programs is equally disturbing. The appalling truth is that many people are paid to grow nothing. The main recipients of the subsidies in the bill are the rich and famous, including families of current members of Congress and the USDA secretary Tom Vilsack. Big farmers with record high incomes, record low debt, and vastly improved farm technology are getting your taxpayer money. >> Don't be fooled: Washington insiders want to maintain the unholy alliance between farm and food stamp policy. For far too long Washington politicians have kept food stamps in the farm bill to help the bill get passed. This means less accountability, less transparency, and less of a chance for real reform to either farm or food stamp programs. Thank you for joining us to defeat this trillion dollar bill. Sincerely, Michael A. Needham Chief Executive Officer Heritage Action for America

Can't do over the air with any good picture quality.....cable or satellite are the options. Cheapest cable package does not include MSNBC, or CNN but does include Fox. All local channels are included plus a lot of junk. My sets do have QAM tuners which the cable companies hate and will pretend to know nothing about.. By just connecting the cable directly to the set I can get loads (more than 80-100) including many HD channels. It is tough to get a program listing however and the channel numbers are more complex than regular cable, eg channel 4 is 4-1 and then there are other stations on 4-2,4-3, 4-4..... Ditto for ch. 7 and all the regular numbers...To get a more complete list requires patience or doing an auto channel search. At the moment I have 3 cable boxes since the cable company has a one year promo going. At the end of the year I will keep one box and rely on the QAM tuners for the less important sets...
