I see Tennessee Senator Bob Corker's name listed. He has not released a statement on the Dream Act.

Thanks for your action everyone. But I don't think it's over just yet. Just received this email:

THE US SENTATE JUST VOTED TO END FOOD FREEDOM IN THE UNITED STATES.

THE ACTION NOW MOVES TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

TELL THE HOUSE NOT TO ACCEPT THE SENATE BILL S.510. The NY times just reported the "lame-duck leadership" in the House will attempt quick passage!

"Despite unusual bipartisan support on Capitol Hill and a strong push from the Obama administration, though, the bill could still die, because there might not be enough time left in the session for the usual haggling between the Senate and House of Representatives, which passed its own version of the bill last year. Top House Democrats have said that they would consider simply passing the Senate version to speed approval."

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!

Good question. Here's more info:

If S.510 passes the Senate there is still more to come. First, the bill will go to the House of Representatives. Rather than try to reconcile the bill with the House version (H.R.2749), the House leadership has agreed to put S.510 to a vote on the floor of the House. Because time is running out for this Congress, any changes by the House would almost certainly kill the bill.

If the House passes S.510, it then goes to President Obama for his almost-certain signature into law. Then, next year, Congress will face the question of appropriating the money to implement the new laws and regulations. S.510 authorizes, but does not appropriate, the funds for the FDA-expanded regulations and the hiring of more FDA bureaucrats to carry out all of the new rules and FDA authorities. Congress will have to approve $1.4 billion of new spending or cut other programs while starting the processes for writing all of the new rules. So, more opportunities do exist to bridle the out-of-control FDA and growth of the Federal government.

Although at this stage it may be too late to have any impact, one can never know. Once again, immediately contact your Senators at (202) 224-3121 to state your firm opposition to S.510.

[quote]The Senate’s controversial FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510) now appears to be dead in the water!

As we reported to you yesterday, the Senate passed its version of the Food Safety bill by a margin of 73 to 25, and sent it on to the House of Representatives for approval. Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) had previously agreed to accept the Senate’s bill in place of the House’s version, already approved, so this approval was expected to be pro-forma.

But it turns out that Section 107 of the Senate bill contains a revenue-raising (i.e., taxing) provision. And such a provision is unconstitutional: “All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives,â€
