country-of-origin labeling. Needed to be done to avoid fines on business, of course, but aren't these the "representatives" who proudly refuse to act all legislation related to constituent and national maintenance needs?

Fwiw, our own meatpackers can put country-of-origin labels on the packages; it's just that, currently, our government can't require it. So demand labels and shop stores that comply. Big Business is watching to see if sales drop on unlabeled meat.
