...applaud Gibbs for critiquing the ways in which we have lost the true meaning of holidays. Retailers are to blame for abusing the idea of commercialism. Hectic as our society may have become, we should be fully aware of what each of the holidays means. Let us make a new resolution prior to our New Year's resolutions, as Gibbs suggested: Let's not make premature preparations for the holidays. Hajime Ishii, Chiba, Japan...

As a whole, we said the House bill moved in reverse with its substantial weakening of commodity-program payment limitations and the gutting of the landmark Conservation Security Program. We applaud Grunwald for addressing the negative impacts of current commodity programs, but he does our work and that of our national network of grass-roots family-farm and conservation advocates a disservice. For the past 20 years, SAC has been a leading advocate for commodity reform, and we certainly...
