A Letter From Jim Schwertner…
August 4, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized | No Comments
Check out this letter I got my hands on from Jim Schwertner that he sent out to other cattle producers..
It appears that Jim is a very large cattle feeder in Texas.
It also appears that he is pretty darn friendly with Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry — the governor of Texas that is doing everything in his power to help foreign dictators, keep us fighting wars in the middle east and destroy renewable energy.
Anyways…I got my hands on a letter that old Jim sent out to fellow cattle producers.
Take a look:
Governor Rick Perry of Texas wants to help us. So let’s help him!
Governor Perry last Friday asked the Administrator of the EPA to waive by 50% the Renewable Fuel Standards on ethanol derived from grain. He understands we are all facing a crisis due to the high cost of feed. He knows that if something is not done soon, the price of food will skyrocket and hurt American consumers.
If this waiver is granted, speculation on corn should go down, and we will see more normal prices on corn.
If you agree with Governor Perry, print out the attached letter that Governor Perry sent to the EPA. Then fax the letter back to me with your business card and signature on the bottom of Governor Perry’s letter. I will then give them all to him, showing our support and thanks. Please send fax to 512-474-0120. To view Governor Perry’s letter to the EPA, click here.
We are also taking out a newspaper ad in which we will thank him for his support. If you would like your name to be listed, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Jim Schwertner
President/CEO
Capitol Land & Livestock
P.O. Box 1
Schwertner, Texas 76573
A Few Questions For Jim:
1.) How much money have you given to Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry or an affiliated group?
2.) How well do you know Bo Pilgrim and the executives at Pilgrims Pride?
3.) How much money and effort are you expending to destroy renewable fuels and to keep the United States hinged to foreign oil?
I think Joe shall investigate…
Enjoy More Bo…

The man in his own words…
I tell you what…that is a nice little documentary on Mr. Schwertner and his company.
It portrays a very nice picture of Mr. Schwertner…a little different than some of the intel that old Joe is picking up.
Will be back soon…I am on the trail of something my readers will find interesting about Mr. Schwertner and his friends.
All of this just leads to more questions, doesn’t it?
Joe Is Getting Popular…

Before the week was up and everyone started their weekend I wanted to thank my loyal readers for paying attention…for reading..for sending in tips on stories to follow.
I also wanted to say hello to all my readers in Pittsburg, Texas.
Yes, that’s right. Joe Patriot has loyal readers in Pittsburg, Texas!
Don’t you just love that part of the internet where you can tell where people are from that are reading your blog/website? Amazing stuff.
In any event — I want to thank you for reading. Stay tuned.. I am sure there is more I will find out that you don’t want me to.
Who are all these loyal readers in Arkansas? Hmmm…
Have a good weekend, everybody…
Is Bo Pilgrim Screwing Farmers?
July 23, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized | No Comments
A group of chicken farmers have been pursuing a lawsuit against Pilgrims Pride and its founder, Bo Pilgrim.
Among other things, including alleging that Pilgrim is in violation of the Packers and Stockyards Act, the group of farmer growers essentially allege that Pilgrim is screwing them on what he pays for their chickens because of how he does business.
Pilgrim has fought it.
However, the United States Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agrees with the farmers.
This case heads for trial in 2009.

Check it out.
You decide.
Would Bo really hurt the little guy?
Drill Here, Don’t Die There

President Bush announced with his signature the end to the ban on off-shore drilling for oil.
Unfortunately, the Congress also needs to act.
Waiting for the Congress to do something might take awhile…
It will be interesting to see what Congressional leaders say and do now.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi HAVE to be for this.
Democrats — follow this very simple mantra. Make it your campaign theme –”Drill here, Don’t Die There.”
Rick Perry’s Best Friend

Again folks — this is real. I can’t make it up.
My only question — why on earth would anyone take national energy security advice from a man that jumps out of airplanes with his pet chicken?
Enjoy your weekend, folks.

Bo Pilgrim Pays Politicians, Gives Shaft to Own Workers
July 8, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized | No Comments
This should not come to any surprise to you — it seems as though Bo Pilgrim may have not paid his employees for the work they did for his chicken company.
Instead, it looks like he spent the money that should have gone into his workers pockets rewarding Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry for carrying out his war on biofuels.

If you work at Pilgrims Pride — you should call Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry and ask for your wages back.
Go ahead, give him a jingle: (800) 843-5789.
When a Chicken Guy Controls the Governor of Texas…

Yes, the end must be near.
My God, how pathetic.
THIS GUY
July 3, 2008 | Filed Under Uncategorized | 2 Comments
So this is the man behind the curtain?
This is the guy that has Rick “Pilgrims Pride” Perry’s ear?
This is the guy who helped write a proposal to the US Government to end its biofuels programs?
I know you are asking now — Joe — does this guy like terrorists and dictators — does he want us to use more of their oil?
I don’t know. But he does love his chickens. These pictures just keep popping up. Even with photoshop I couldn’t make something so damn odd and funny.
Back to serious business though — this is the guy…
I think Joe needs to look a little more into Lonnie “Bo” Pilgrim, Pilgrims Pride, and who else is paying for all these efforts to destroy domestic fuel production. These people need to be exposed — and so do the politicians that do their bidding.
I am sick and tired of being reliant on foreign oil and all the despots and dictators that we count on to get the damn stuff. Any effort to keep us more reliant on foreign oil keeps us entangled in wars in far away places.
Stupid.
Looks like I have some research to do over the Fourth of July weekend. I have half a mind to hop in the car and head on down to Pittsburg, Texas and do some scouting of my own. Wouldn’t video and interviews of this cast of characters be interesting?
I might do it if gas wasn’t so damn expensive.
