This is such a hopeful sign for the return to science, to compassion for our planet, and hopefully the start to revitalize it and prevent its destruction. I hope this start will also contain an realization that nature was right all along. Maybe we have come full circle, having gotten the scientific knowledge about how nature works, we can now return to following it's superior intelligence to get back to a more natural way of life for the planet.

I have had the pleasure of hearing Tom speak at a conference on the natural products industry and I found his position to be a healthy balance between the priorities that bring progressive change to U.S. agriculture, such as organic food production and the intelligent use of U.S. food supplies for energy, as well as the realities of a economically viable agribusiness industry that can nourish the country & compete internationally. I support his nomination for Secretary of Agriculture.

I have known Tom Vilsack for close to twenty five years and have the privilege of working with him on cases when he was in private law practice. Tom Vilsack is smart, he is energetic, and he is dedicated. He will study the issues. He will ask hard questions. He will make decisions as Secretary of Agriculture that, in my opinion, will be in the best interests of the people.

Having lived for 40+ years in New York, I have seen and experienced skilled and effective elected official from Democratic, Republican and Liberal parties. I moved to Iowa in March, 2004 to encounter Tom Vilsack as a Democratic governor in a mostly Republican and mostly agricultural state. He had broad knowledge all the issues and an excellent ability to cross party lines in pursuit of enlightened and effective state government.
