All good! And please keep an eye out: I'll be hosting a campaign fundraiser focused on water quality and conservation on May 6. Details still be worked out - but I'd love help getting the word out. I straddle ag + eco systems, and I want to help elevate the conversation!

Possibly! Would love to see details of such a proposal, including the definition (size?) of the CAFO, e.g. www.epa.gov/sites/defaul...

(and, it's "Dr." - just for the record. Or simply Tony.)

Kick in $2? secure.actblue.com/donate/2tues

Hey — it’s $Twosday.

We’re building a people-powered campaign, and sometimes that just means $2 at a time.

Interesting! I’m thinking Amanda interned for him in the DC office in 2005.
