Stop Pigford Fraud! Interview with Rep. Steve King & How You Can Stop The Fraud In Under 5 Minutes
[Guest post by Lee Stranahan]
Here’s a chance to stop the Pigford fraud in its tracks – Rep. Steve King (R – IA) has introduced an amendment to halt Pigford Funding. This is about the multi-billion dollar “Black Farmers Settlement” that we’ve been exposing as a fraud for over six months at BigGovernment.com
The last time that King tried to introduce a bill to stop Pigford II funding last year, he was blocked by the Democrat controlled congress and it wasn’t allowed to come up for a vote. Now we have a chance to do the right thing and end the fraud.

Fired off a strong email basically asking mine to support real black farmers and King’s amendment. Talked about strong evidence and testimony of massive fraud in the settlement which has emerged over the course of the past year. Will try a call in the morning.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if I were to learn that she or some immediate relative had put in for one of those $50K cheques, for having thought of starting a tree farm in Brooklyn.
