    After a Week of Struggle...
    The Senate in Recess! We have Ten Days
    To PUSH BACK Harder!

    No time for Thanksgiving, no time to pat ourselves on the back! Our Senators are home... it's time for the Home Folks to tell them what we want: Vote "No!" on S. 510. Even Dr. Coburn's well-intentioned amendment does not go far enough to protect local, organic, family, community food production and distribution!

    Here is the history of the past few days

    THIS IS A RED ALERT! WE MUST FLOOD THE SENATE NOW!
    Last November Just 150,000 emails held the bill in committee for nearly a year;
    THIS WEEK WE REACHED 5,000 EMAILS AN HOUR... FOR MANY HOURS!
    WE NEED EVEN MORE PUSH BACK RIGHT NOW!

    PLEASE contact your Senators at their home State offices... or if you know them, call them at home or talk to them over the Thanksgiving Table. Let them know that a vast and growing transpartisan alliance of health & food freedom advocates, framers, ranchers, gardeners, tea partiers and others have sent millions of messages to Congress:

    SENATOR: VOTE "NO!" ON S.510!

    THE LATEST MOVE FROM SENATE "LEADERSHIP"
    http://democrats.senate.gov/calendar/2010-11.html

    - The Senate will not be in session the week of November 22-26, 2010.
    - November 29, 2010 - Convenes: 2:00pm
    - Following any Leader remarks, a period of morning business until 4pm with senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes.
    - At 4:00pm, Senate will resume consideration of S.510... as provided for under the previous order.
    - At 6:30pm, the Senate will proceed to a cloture vote on the substitute amendment to S.510. Under the agreement reached on Thursday, if cloture is invoked, 4 motions to suspend the rules would be in order. Upon disposition of the motions, the Senate will proceed to vote on passage of the bill, as amended. Senator Reid would like to complete action on the Food Safety bill on Monday. As a result, senators should expect a late night of voting.
    - Post-cloture and upon the use or yielding back of the time allotted in the agreement (1 hour for motions re: 1099 and 4 hours for Coburn motions), the Senate will proceed to vote on the motions in the following order:
    -- Johanns (1099 forms)

    I don't know what is wrong with the American people. I guess since I'm in this group then I have the right to slam us. Where is the outrage? This is our food! Don't stand up now then we all get what we deserve. A few of us loud voices is just not enough. Stand up people before you really can't.

    The government wants to take over everything - autos, housing, banks, energy, heating and cooling, electricity, and the precious food to sustain us. Control the food, the buying and the selling, and you have families in submission.

    Everything is going up in price so now is the time to start storing, if you have not already, and if you are able. Food, clothing, emergency supplies, etc.

    They want to ration us and force us to depend on them, including taking away the ability to grow and share food that they have not signed off on.

    For those who want to do indoor gardening, such as with an Aerogarden, the government move to slap a smart meter on every home to use time of use pricing will hurt that too.

    Smart Meters, if used as they plan, will put many in the dark and without heating or cooling. Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee is one Republican standing with President Obama and Democrats for cap and trade measures against people and business. He stands with Al Gore, and other climate change bullies that want to punish people for using energy, especially during the 4-10PM time frame so that they can charge their electric vehicles at night. He can afford to throw a $10,000 battery in the back of his electric car, can everyone else?

    In Other Topics AirborneSapper7 has the emergency preparedness thread.

    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

    Yes some of us are fighting this bill and I do support the part which has more control over Foreign Imports but NOT home grown produce.

    We must STOP this Bill as written. I urge everyone to contact their Senators IMMEDIATELY. The FDA is a joke who do not do the job they are supposed to do now especially BIG Agra who want to KILL small Organic Farmers.

    Read the Bill At http://thomas.loc.gov/

    Senate Bill 510 vote delayed until after Thanksgiving - Take action now to oppose food tyranny

    (NaturalNews) If there's one thing to give thanks for this year, it's the fact that the Senate floor vote on the so-called "Food Safety Modernization Act" has been delayed until after the Senate's Thanksgiving recess. This gives all of us -- the commonsense opponents of S.510 who don't want the FDA having authority over raw milk, seeds and backyard gardens -- another week to flood the offices of U.S. Senators with calls, faxes and emails that express opposition to the bill.

    The jury is still out on the Tester-Hagan Amendment which would exempt small farmers from some of the more tyrannical requirements under the law. If this amendment were adopted, it would substantially improve the bill, but even with this amendment, the bill is just another overreaching expansion of Big Government into yet another area of incompetence. (If the government can't run health care worth a darn, how are they supposed to manage the entire food supply?)

    The 1099 paperwork amendment
    As part of this debate over the safety of the food supply, Sen Mike Johanns is making a courageous attempt to kill the new, idiotic 1099 reporting requirement that would require every person running a small business in America to get 1099 forms from Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Costco, Amazon.com or any other retailer where they've spent over $600 in the previous year.

    This absolute nightmare of 1099 paperwork was passed as part of the Obamacare health care reform legislation earlier this year (http://www.naturalnews.com/028854_1...). It will turn America's small business owners into paperwork pack rats and criminalize anyone who doesn't spent several hundred hours a year chasing 1099 forms from corporations that are almost certain to refuse to give them to you. This is the government's way of penalizing small business owners in America and killing off yet more jobs as a way to destroy the economy.

    This 1099 recall is the only real positive thing being considered in the Food Safety and Modernization Act. And as you've probably noticed, it has nothing to do with food.

    What comes next for S.510
    On Monday, November 29, a vote will be taken on the Harkin amendment, which is merely a rephrasing of the bill with some new wording that came out of committee.

    After that, a vote is planned for the bill itself, meaning S.510 could be passed into law on November 29th.

    Additional debate time might be invoked for various amendments to the bill, as there are some motions still pending (Johanns, Baucus, Coburn). So it's not a given thing that a final vote will happen on Nov 29th.

    Watch NaturalNews.com for more updates on this bill throughout next week. We will continue to rally opposition to the bill.

    I'm not against some commonsense improvements in food safety, but to give Big Brother yet more control over seed saving, backyard food production and small organic farms is an outright disaster, not an improvement.

    Besides, as we now know, the problem with e.coli, salmonella and other pathogens in the food supply is really a problem with factory animal farms -- notably cattle and chicken operations. That's where these pathogens come from (e.coli grows in the intestines of animals), so cleaning up factory animal farms is the answer to food safety, not invoking the FDA and its food irradiation agenda.

    Why not hand the FDA more power over our food supply?
    It's amazing to see that people are lining up to grant more power to the FDA -- the very agency that has killed more Americans through its corruption, fraud and negligence than any other organization in the history of the nation.

    I've written a full story on this important fact, which details how the FDA is far more dangerous than terrorists and that putting the FDA in charge of our national food supply can only lead to disaster. Read that story at: http://www.naturalnews.com/030461_S...

    Take action now to stop S.510
    Your voice needs to be heard on this issue. The vote on this bill has been delayed until after the Thanksgiving recess, so you have more time to oppose this dangerous legislation.

    Call the Capitol Switchboard and ask to be directly connected to your Senator's office: 202-224-3121.

    Senate Bill 510 Food Safety? The FDA has killed far more people than contaminated eggs or lettuce

    (NaturalNews) Proponents of Senate Bill 510 -- the Food Safety and Modernization Act -- keep trying to claim that we need the FDA to protect us from tainted eggs, lettuce, onions and spinach. On the surface, it seems like a reasonable argument: No one should ever die from unsafe food in America, right?

    But to accomplish a net reduction in deaths, you'd need to grant power over the food supply to some organization that actually respects human life... and the FDA is not that organization. In fact, as we have documented here on NaturalNews over the last seven years, the FDA is responsible for far more deaths of Americans than all the terrorist events in the history of the world -- combined!

    How is that so?

    How the FDA has killed millions of Americans
    Well, for starters, the FDA has a long and rather dubious history of keeping dangerous, deadly drugs on the market even after it knows those drugs are killing people. The FDA has even gone out of its way to ignore critical evidence about dangerous drugs in order to appease its Big Pharma clients and keep those high-profit drugs selling while people are dying.

    To see one example of this, look at the history of Vioxx -- a drug the FDA kept on the market while it racked up well over 60,000 deaths according to the FDA's own scientists! (http://www.naturalnews.com/011401_D...)

    As Dr David Graham said in an interview, "The FDA is responsible for 140,000 heart attacks and 60,000 dead Americans. That's as many people as were killed in the Vietnam War. Yet the FDA points the finger at me and says, Well, this guy's a rat, you can't trust him,' but nobody is calling them to account. Congress isn't calling them to account."

    If you want more evidence of the FDA's outrageous disregard for human life, look at the agency's handling of the drug Ketek (http://www.naturalnews.com/019698.html). Or check out how the FDA kept the liver-damaging drug Rezulin on the market while diabetic Americans were dropping dead.

    The FDA's own scientists have repeatedly accused the agency of engaging in routine intimidation of scientists who try to call attention to dangerous products (http://www.naturalnews.com/025298_t...).

    The FDA censors natural remedies that could save lives
    On top of all that corruption and fraud leading to negligent deaths caused by the FDA, this agency also censors the scientific truth about natural remedies and nutritional supplements that could save millions of lives each year. The FDA won't, for example, allow vitamin D supplement companies to tell the truth about how vitamin D prevents cancer or how vitamin D prevents the flu and makes seasonal flu vaccines obsolete (http://www.naturalnews.com/029760_v...).

    The FDA also won't allow any supplement companies to tell the truth about their natural remedies for preventing or even reversing diabetes, heart disease, breast cancer and more.

    In doing this, the FDA is complicit in the deaths of at least 250,000 Americans each year. According to the groundbreaking 2003 medical report Death by Medicine, by Drs Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, 783,936 people in the United States die every year from conventional medicine mistakes. The FDA has a hand in at least one-third of those deaths, mostly from its willful corruption and fraud in the world of deadly pharmaceuticals, which have proven to be far more deadly than terrorists (http://www.naturalnews.com/009278.html).

    If you do the math on all this, you are forced to reach some startling mathematical conclusions:

    • The FDA is more dangerous than all the terrorists and terror events in the history of the United States.

    • The FDA has killed more Americans than the entire Vietnam War.

    • Even more than that, over the last 20 years the FDA has killed more Americans than the total number who died in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War and even the Civil War -- combined!

    • The FDA is the single most deadly agency that has ever existed in the history of the United States. It is responsible for more body bags, more funerals, more pain and suffering than even the Department of Defense!

    • The FDA does not value human life. It has no compassion for real people. It is driven by politics and money, and it answers to the demands of powerful corporations who control its agenda (http://www.naturalnews.com/019497.html).

    So now, let me get this straight. With Senate Bill 510 we are going to hand over control over the food supply to the most nefarious, corrupt and deadly agency that has ever existed in the history of the United States of America?

    FDA could outlaw all raw vegetables
    The FDA has killed more people than the CIA, FBI, ATF and DEA combined. This agency is technically responsible for the negligent homicide of countless American men, women, children and senior citizens. It has stood by and allowed modern psychiatry to drug our children into violent behavior. It has censored the truth about nutrition and natural remedies, and it has enforced a campaign of nutritional ignorance among the American people, making sure that virtually all competition to Big Pharma's patented drugs is completely wiped out (or criminalized).

    The FDA has criminalized your raw milk, turning farmers into felons. The FDA once ordered the burning of recipe books containing stevia recipes as part of its effort to outlaw this natural sweetener (in order to protect aspartame profits). (http://www.naturalnews.com/001552.html)

    And now the U.S. Congress wants this agency in charge of your food?

    What madness is this?

    We're going to take the largest killer in the history of America and give it the power to control the growing of foods, the saving of seeds and even the operations of small family farms?

    Can you imagine what the FDA is going to do with that kind of power? Trust me: It won't be pretty. It may even be fatal. I can just see this agency outlawing all vegetables unless they're irradiated. They might outlaw raw food and require all food be pasteurized. They could ban not just raw milk but even raw broccoli.

    Sound crazy? Sure it does! But so does the idea of raw milk being criminalized in America, too. America was raised on raw milk. What do you think Thomas Jefferson drank at his farm? What do you think kept the pioneers alive in the harsh Midwest winters?

    If the FDA can outlaw raw milk, they can outlaw anything. And Senate Bill 510 would give them all the power they need to do this.

    Never give a psychopath explosives
    It's a dangerous deal with the devil, of course. Handing the FDA power over the food supply is like giving a violent psycho access to military-grade explosives. The net result can only be catastrophic and deadly.

    I'm all for the idea of "safe food," but not if it involves taking the most dangerous government agency in the history of America and putting it in charge of the way we grow food, store seeds, harvest crops and package food products.

    Do we need to "modernize" our food creation systems in America? Sure we do, but not at the cost of making us all victims of a dangerous, corrupt and downright disastrously managed U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

    And besides, virtually all the contamination of food we're seeing today is due to factory animal farming runoff. That's where e.coli comes from, by the way. E.coli is an intestinal pathogen and plants don't have intestines. It can only be harbored in animals. (http://www.organicconsumers.org/art...)

    So the problem with our food supply is not that the FDA doesn't yet have enough power; it's that we have abusive, cruel and ridiculously unclean factory animal farms operating in America that are contaminating the vegetables. If you really want to clean up the food supply, just crack down on the factory animal farms and let the veggie growers get back to work doing what they do best: Growing healthful, nutrient-rich vegetables that help keep America healthy.

    Take action now to stop S.510
    Your voice needs to be heard on this issue. The vote on this bill has been delayed until after the Thanksgiving recess, so you have more time to oppose this dangerous legislation.
