BULLETIN: We beat the bureaucrats!

It was a powerful demonstration of the new so-called “social media” at work.  I’ve never seen such a push back as the ag community staged against the proposed Obama rule that would have prevented kids from doing chores around the farm.  We reported on the proposal (see below: I’m from the government…) as did every other blog I read and apparently Washington was buried in an avalanche of protests.

The Labor department has pulled back its plan and—more importantly—has even guaranteed it will not be resurrected during this Administration.  The bureaucrats have a way of getting whatever they want on most issues by coming back until the opposition is finally worn down…or looking the other way.

Here’s a link to a story about the good guys winning one:
