Governor Palin posted the following on her
Facebook page:
The Obama Administration is working on regulations that would prevent
children from working on our own family farms. This is more overreach
of the federal government with many negative consequences. And if you
think the government’s new regs will stop at family farms, think again.
My
family is a commercial fishing family, and commercial fishing in Alaska
is much like the family farm (but the year 'round farmers no doubt work
harder than we do!). I guarantee fishing families wouldn’t stand for
this nonsensical intrusion into our lives and livelihoods, and, as a
former 4-H member, I don’t believe farm families will either. Our kids
learn to work and to help feed America on our nation’s farms, and out on the water.
Federal government: get your own house in order and stop interfering in ours.
