The House voted overwhelmingly today to “override President Bush’s veto of the $307 billion farm bill, setting the stage for the second veto defeat of Mr. Bush’s presidency.”

Resolving the issue of the votes in Michigan and Florida is fast becoming an essential ingredient to winning in November. Enforcing the “rules” as they currently stand could help assure another “inconvenient” loss for the Democrats.
Since the May 31st meeting of the Rules and Bylaws Committee is looming, I urge everyone to write and/or e-mail [...]
