Be Careful What You Wish For

For you reporters who have been following the long-running catfish caper in Washington, where domestic catfish folks have for years tried to set up trade barriers to imported seafood with a mix of outright lies about their competition and aggressive special-interest lobbying to get regulators to do their bidding for them, the Associated Press is running a very interesting article today.

The article shows how this special interest attempt to deceive consumers, take away American choice and waste millions upon millions of tax dollars is really, a lesson on being careful what you ask for on Capitol Hill.

Its running on about 1,100 sites right now and can be found as part of coverage in The Washington Post, Minneapolis St. Paul Star Tribune, The Republic, ABC News, Daily Journal, Newsday, Yahoo, The Reading Eagle, Rockford Register Star and AzCentral to name a few.
