I suspect this movement will grow, for many reasons.
Exciting to see this building up steam.
I actually think that a National Food Working Party could grow into a third party. The one thing that I’ve found a majority of people agree on is getting rid of Agri Business You start talking about food and food security with conservatives and they agree. When you point out that there are bills in Montana’s legislature to make it harder for small farmers to sell at farmer’s markets, they are shocked. And they are a bit chagrined that it is the Republicans making it hard for small businessmen/farmers to exist. Not totally, but a bit. But the Dems are not that much better now that they have embraced corporotocracy.
