NO AP Q&A of Bush over Milk Contract Plan-just make fun of Kerry & "Secret

Kerry Warns Dairyland Voters of Bush Plan(not renew Milk Income Loss Contract)

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer

SPRING GREEN, Wis. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told voters in America's Dairyland on Monday that President Bush had a secret plan that would hurt milk producers after the election. <snip>

"We've had a difference between the Midwest and the Northeast," Kerry said. "I'm going to be very upfront with you about it.

"As a senator representing Massachusetts, I fought for the dairy compact and fought to have our dairy farmers get help," he said. "I'm running for president of the United States now and I intend to represent all the farmers of America."

Kerry said Bush is opposing an effort to extend the Milk Income Loss Contract that helps dairy farmers when milk prices drop and is set to expire in October 2005. He said the Bush administration would wait until after the election to act so voters in swing dairy states wouldn't turn against him. <snip>

1. If this is a concern
Then bring it up at the debate. Get Bush to PROMISE he isn't gonna mess with them. Then get Bush to say he will work RIGHT NOW to extend the contract.
