Dr. Rima on Stopping S.510
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHUeyD_K ... r_embedded

They say "no person's life, property or liberty are safe when Congress is in session..." and to that we must add, nor is our right to grow and use our own food, as families and communities. We are happy to report that some of our friends in the Freedom Movement, including Citizens for Health and Downsize DC have joined in S.510 Push Back, also setting-up S.510 Action Items urging their supporters to message the US Senate. We applaude their efforts and remind everyone that we need hundreds of thousands of emails flooding the Senate if we are to keep our Food Freedom! Please help by widely forwarding this eblast and Dr. Rima's hard-hitting S.510 video~

For more than a year, the plan to capture - and kill - clean, local, organic, independent and safe farming has been wending its way through Congress, supported by the party in control of the White House and Congress, as well as the too-big-to-fail AgraBiz industry.

Last year, the devastating HR 1279 passed the House, although working with patriots like Ron Paul, We the People put up a good battle, delaying it for quite a while. However, at the end of the day, a good battle followed by a loss is still a loss.

Then the field of battle shifted to the US Senate's version, S.510, where we've held the forces of Big Agra and Big Govt at bay for nearly a year...

During one memorable weekend in November 2009 over 150,000 emails to Senators tied the bill up in the HELP committee with its chairman, Senator Tom Harkin remarking about the "thousands" of emails. He promised that the (sic) food safety bill would not impose Codex Alimentarius restrictions in the USA.

We didn't believe him and when, in February, Senator McCain introduced the "companion" so-called "dietary supplement safety" bill, S.3002, we mobilized the Health Freedom "Mouse Warriors" and in one month and one day, and several hundred thousand emails, later the Senator was forced to withdraw support for his own bill, opining (and whining) that its major points could be covered by (hiss, hiss...) S.510!

Then in mid-July, the congressional majority leadership issued its "short list" of bills it wanted to push to passage before the August recess. The good news was: S.510 was not on the list!

The bad news is that the bill's handlers could "sneak it through" the Senate as a "unanimous consent" non-controversial matter when the Senate returns in September!

That is, unless opposing Senators put a "hold" on the bill, which means it cannot be treated as non-controversial. On the way to recess, the Senate HELP committee reported the bill out, without the amendment from Senator Tester that would have offered a bit of protection to family farms and ranches, home and community gardens, farmers markets...

Please send the Action Item below to your Senators, demanding that the "hold" the bill! How does a Senator do that? The Senator has one of his or her staff members call the staff of the Senate Cloak Room (yes, there still is a Senate Cloak Room, but now it has a staff! Ah, bureaucracy! The staff is responsible for non-controversial, unanimous consent bills. That's where this bad bill stops!

Yes,we must keep the pressure up to stop this food bill. Let's not give them a chance to try and pass it in September .

This is from another group...hopefully it will be stopped

Continue to Oppose Food Safety Legislation

It happened just in time, the salmonella egg outbreak and recall, that is. Remarkably so, in fact, to help boost the chances of Senate Bill 510's passing. The Food Safety Modernization Act, whose companion bill H.R. 2749 already passed in the House, was facing quite the uphill battle. But not any more; a vote is now highly likely with approval possible if not probable.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has said there could be as many as 1,300 salmonella related illnesses linked to the eggs. And that there could be 30 or more unreported cases for every reported case. So far there have actually been 1,953 illnesses reported from May 1 to July 31 of this year with the CDC admitting “some of these cases may not be related to this outbreak.â€

Parts of this Bill I agree with and I think most Americans do too. It forces other countries to implement the same health standards as ours if their products are to be sold in the USA.

I believe them Dem Reps. (ones husband works with Monsanto) added the control over small business/farms to try to kill the whole Bill.

IF the FDA were doing their job the Salmonella outbreak would not have happened and notice it is ALWAYS BIG Agri Businesses who are the guilty parties when it comes to food borne illness outbreaks.

I wrote to BOTH of my Senate Congressman. I received a email back from BILL NELSON who I am convinced has never even read this bill or is lying to coverup for FL BIG AG.

BIG AG causes 99% of our problems and would LOVE to kill organic farming which is becoming a hugh threat to mass producers.

He said S 510 does not make any changes nor controls in Agriculture only FDA. Say What ???? It absolutely will effect small farms especially organic farmers.

I helped to vote him into office and in 2012 I will help vote him out !@#@&&#
