Since Kevin's death these two citizens have invested thousands of hours traveling to Washington to urge Congress to strengthen food safety laws. Last week they were here urging the Senate to pass the FDA reform legislation before Xmas. They have also urged Congress to reform the federal meat and poultry laws which are administered by the USDA, not FDA. These two women and Barb's daughter as well are demonstrating that citizens can be effective in overcoming industry lobbies that reject change.
