Rehberg to Vote Against Common Sense Food Safety Bill Again

Montanans Deserve to Know Congressman's Alternative

Helena, Mont.-- Montana Democratic Party Chairman spokesman Mike Wessler released the following statement regarding Congressman Dennis Rehberg's upcoming vote against the Food Safety Modernization Act, which was amended by Senator Jon Tester to keep family fams and food produces from federal regulations they can't afford and don't need:.

"Now that Senator Tester has made sure the popular Food Safety Act won't hurt Montana's family farms and food producers, we'd like to know exactly why Congressman Dennis Rehberg doesn't think safe food is a priority for this country. Unfortunately for Montanans, Congressman Rehberg votes how his party bosses tell him--even if it means voting against safe food and Montana's family farmers and food producers. Montanans deserve to know Congressman Rehebrg's alternative to this common sense, bipartisan measure that is so popular, the Senate unanimously voted for it."
