81. Amy Klobuchar is a tool!
Sat Apr 9, 2016, 06:10 PM
Apr 2016

She's my Senator. She sponsored the anti food labeling GMO bill in the Senate, where it died. When the vote came for cloture she voted for it, and it couldn't garner the votes. I called her office to tell her I was so disappointed in her for voting against labeling food as containing GMOs. I'm not against GMOs but at least tell people! They do it for BHT used for milk production. No shit her office said, "she voted for the bill before she voted against it." What a tool!
