Contributions/donations seems to be only a few thousand recently to National Pork Producers PAC.

..*smiles*, thinking back, especially this week, back in 1969, while stationed in Thailand, we received a shipment of 10,000 pounds of shrimp, it was supposed to be 1000 lbs.
Granted we always had enough food, but I grew tired of shrimp,shrimp breakfast cocktails,fried,broiled,grilled,any and all ways possible, I was wondering when I was gonna see shrimp milk shakes or pudding....

They are apparently in CA-34.

“California’s 34th congressional district covers part of Los Angeles County and is California’s most heavily Hispanic district. Its current representative is Democrat Lucille Roybal-Allard. Rep. Roybal-Allard ran against Republican challenger Christopher Balding in the 2008 election.”

That’s still $438.00 a lb.
