Here's Tom Vilsack's phone number at the USDA. Perhaps we should politely call and tell him what we think:
202-720-3631
Dept. of Agriculture: (202) 720-2791

some more phone numbers suggested by WordSmith:
White House Ph. #s:
Comments: 202-456-1111
Switchboard: 202-456-1414
FAX: 202-456-2461
Get the entire Sherrod speech, hear comments from the White farmer, and see other videos under the fold.
