19. You WANT kids going into silos..?

You WANT kids operating the neighbor's tractor when they're too young to even get a driver's license? You WANT kids working around 1500 lb cattle in feed lots?

This isn't about "garnering votes in rural communities". This is about safety... kid safety.

Obama and the Labor Department need to show a little leadership and fight for what is right.

Misinformation campaigns should not rule this country. Information campaigns work, too.
