- Transcript Hello, this is your congresswoman, Lori Chavez Derimer at 202-25-5711 I was calling to invite you to join a live telephone town hall I'm holding right now. I wanted to give you a few updates on a bipartisan bill I introduced to prevent fentanyl from being smuggled across the southern border. My work to make ivf treatments more affordable and other ways. I'm working on your behalf in Congress. I will take questions from you, too. Just stay on the line to be connected. Please hold while we connect you to your access live event. This access live event is currently in progress. Please note that this call may be monitored, recorded, or rebroadcast. Submitted online it looks like Frank from Albany. You're asking a question online for an update on the current status of the farm bill. Is that correct? Okay, Frank, here we go. Farm bill update over the last year and a half, I worked closely with the Oregon farmers, foresters, ranchers, along with my colleagues on the AG committee to write that effective farm bill. My priorities included working to improve workforce training opportunities in forestry and timber industries, reducing wildfire risks, making sure that we're supporting our specialty crops here in Oregon, including new and beginning farmers, strengthen broadband, expand child care options for families in the rural areas, and enhance the farm safety net, as well as the SNAP program. And in May, the Ag committee passed our bipartisan farm bill, which includes over a dozen bipartisan bills that I help lead to ensure our rural communities have the resources they need to grow and thrive in that farm bill. Specialty Crop Security Act Alyssa Slotkin from Michigan to introduce the bipartisan legislation and make sure that we have enough specialty crop block grant program to increase that. The farm bill increased funding for the program by $15 million. And I think that that's going to go a long way in supporting our long term success of these specialty crops that are so desperate here in Oregon. Also, the SWAT act, for those of you introduced this bipartisan legislation as well with slotkin to help prevent those specialty crop losses. We're finding invasive fruit flies that damage the fruit crops, such as the blueberries and the strawberries. So we wanted to make sure that language is included as a high priority for research and extension in the farm bill as well. And then one of the things that we've heard, and I mentioned it more than once on these calls, expanding childcare in rural America. I joined Glucon Camp Perez from the state of Washington to expand and help introduce the bipartisan legislation which would require the USDA to prioritize the projects that address the availability, the quality and the cost of that childcare. We're finding more and more of our farmers in ranchers.

Just last week, 8,263 people got Nomorobo protection!
Love it! I keep my landline since I have had it 30 Years and those robo calls are so annoying. I put nomorobo on my 83 year old mothers phone and now she no longer gets upset when she answers the phone. We all know that when the phone rings it will only ring once the majority of the time

Works great!! After using it on my line I placed it on my 86 year old fathers phone and if the phone only rings once (which happens often) he knows its a telemarketer
— Dan M, Nov 29th, 9:16am
I have told nearly everyone I know about Nomorobo. Never have I found an application that does what it says it will with such perfection! Absolutely outstanding. And such satisfaction on our end!
— Wally D, Nov 29th, 9:23am
I can tell when it's working. I only here one ring then I don't even have to look at the phone and I don't have empty messages in my voice mail box. I know Nomorobo has just saved me from another annoying call.

It is AMAZING how many "one ringers" we get! So glad we have Nomorobo and have installed it on our parents' phones and recommended it to many others! Thanks!!!!

I an on the do not call list, but it hasn't stopped the robos. Why don't you turn these people in to the do not call list and reap the fines for yourself??? If you need my permission, you have it.

When I only hear one ring, I know that you've snagged another one of those annoying calls. Thanks tons for all that you do!
— Robby, Nov 29th, 10:26am
