Sen Lorge ends Milk Pricing System Filibuster worked, Farmers thrilled
"After two weeks of intense filibustering, Wisconsin's new US Senator ends what Dairy Farmers called the most corrupt law ever on the books: "The Federal Milk Pricing System" that penalized Midwest Dairy Farmers for 70 years"
Washington, DC - An exhausted yet triumphant US Senator Bill Lorge (R-Wisconsin) embraces Dairy Farmers outside the US Capitol steps after ending his two week long filibuster that finally ended the Federal Milk Pricing system. "This was my number one campaign promise when I ran for US Senator. I promised that if I had to, I would Filibuster until I dropped dead, thank God it only lasted two weeks and I'm still breathing, but we won, and I kept my word," said Lorge. "Government should NEVER have the power to harm Americans the way they did the Midwest Dairy Farmers with the Federal Milk Pricing System. Now Wisconsin Farmers will finally get a better price for their milk, instead of getting the lowest price. We saved our Dairy Farms in Wisconsin. I want to thank all the Farmers from the Midwest, especially Wisconsin and Minnesota, for getting on their Tractors the day my Filibuster started and headed for the Nation's Capitol. If it wasn't for their support and seeing them up there in the Senate Galleries, I dont know if I could have lasted, but we did it together. I said over a thousand times during my US Senate Campaign in 2000, that I would not quit, I would end the Milk Pricing System once and for all, I promised that I would filibuster to the end, and at the age of 41, I was able to do it without any health risks or without alienating anyone because of my interesting filibuster topics and sense of humor. I hope everyone enjoyed all the books I read, and historic speeches I read during my filibuster. I tried to keep the filibuster dignified and meaningful as well as entertaining. I think I did that. The Dairy Farmers in Wisconsin knew that I would keep my word, and they are very pleased with the final results. This simple change in Federal Law will do so much good for Wisconsin," concluded Lorge.
