I implore Congressman Schweikert to vote in favor of HR 1731, brought to us by the United Egg Producers and the Humane Society of the United States. This bill will create a fairer egg marketplace, subsequently improving the lives of millions of egg-laying hens. It benefits farmers by giving them standardized guidelines by which to raise their hens, and it benefits hens by improving what’s required of their care. It’s a win-win for animals and consumers and I am counting on Congressman Schweikert’s vote!

When a few of their own party turn and do the right thing that affects the people of Arizona they cry and complain about it. I am very sure the people of Arizona are very happy to finally see compromise. Through the crying conservatives that did not get their way this time, they got a good taste of their own medicine. Compromise works.
