SANFORD ANNOUNCES PUBLIC SCHEDULE FOR AUGUST 2
In continuing to catch up with all the activity of the House over the last few weeks, I wanted to write on S. 764. This bill would knock out state Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) labeling standards and replace them with a federally mandated barcode-style label. I voted no along with 36 other Republicans as well as 81 Democrats, but the bill passed 306 to 117.
Last week, the House voted on S. 304, the Conscience Protection Act, a bill that would prevent medical professionals from being forced to provide abortions, if doing so conflicts with their religious beliefs. The bill passed 245 to 182, and I voted yes.
