As the dominant ethanol producer, ADM has undue--if not controlling influence-- in far too many farm organizations-- which enables it to use their networks of individuals to vector in large campaign contributions to the chosen candidates- sidestepping campaign finance laws. ADM money is choking off democractic choices.

The corn lobby endorsment is a serious indictment against Obama from the standpoint that almost everything they stand for is old world, and maintaining the status quo. Obama supports the farm bill? In no way does this bill support farms unless by farms you mean large agribusiness. This lobby is deeply entrenched in seeing subsidies continue for these large businesses.
