S.510 Food Safety LIVES!

[GunnyFreedom]

So says Jamie Dupree.

I'm just glad I told bill drafting to go ahead with the NCFFPA when I saw it in the omnibus bill. -G

A major food safety bill that had almost been given up for dead was suddenly revived in the Senate late on Sunday evening, and may be ready for House approval as early as Tuesday.

In a parliamentary move laid out on the Senate floor by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just after 7pm, the Senate took the food safety language ... (Read More)

Disgusting. I thought this bill was dead for sure. This bill may actually be even worse than the healthcare bill, which is really saying something.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

This is nothing less than a complete Federalization of our entire food chain, to include our Farmer's Markets. This will skyrocket food prices, and the poor will suffer most. Protect North Carolina by supporting the "North Carolina Farmer's Freedom Protection Act."

 

[Isaac Bickerstaff]

They should call it the "Lame Goose" congress because anything you put in front of them will go through like shit through a goose.

 

[ctiger2]

Maybe once farmers markets are regulated and shut down and you can't grow your own food the sheeple will finally wake up? Nah...

[video/audio] Senator Tester's (D-MT) Amendment in #S-510 was a Good Attempt​

Tester Amendment in #S-510 was a Good Attempt

QUOTED HERE

The same cast of characters now seeks such control under the guise of food “safety”. Make no mistake, the FDA and legislation like S 510 is about food control — not food safety. If it were about safety, we’d be seeing legislation that banned concentrated animal feeding operations, that banned indiscriminate use of antibiotics, that banned pesticides and BPA. We don’t, because the FDA is not about food safety any more; it is a federal agency wholly captured by Big Pharma, Big Food and Big Chemicals.

SENATOR JOHN TESTER NAILED IT
IN HIS WORDS HERE on #S-510
HOWEVER IT WAS WAY WATERED DOWN

This to his words closely and get an education.

He deserves an award from the
Campaign to Educate Washington on Real Food Safety

COMMENT ON THE YouTube:
Thanks, John, but what are we doing begging for our rights? I feel sorely disappointed in the whole system. We earn our livelihood at farmer's markets and we're having to find amendments just to save our skin! We're giving more power to an incompetent federal agency to destroy more family farms. Why? This smells a lot like the stuff I step in after the cows pass by....

THey passed it tonight - 73 - 25.

How absolutely sad.

 

[amy31416]

I can't think of any actual people (non-politicians), dem or rep, who wanted this bill passed. Yet another example of them going against the Constitution and the will of the people.

Well, we are obligated to break immoral laws, in my opinion.

Who wants some black market herbs?

 

[amy31416]

Wowwwww....I just posted this on a liberal forum (because I thought there were a significant number of them who were against this), and I got about 10 responses along the lines of "good! what do you have against safe food?"

This bill was hidden twice now...once in some veteran's benefits bill, and now a cash for clunkers bill. If it were a good bill, they would not need to hide it like this.

 

[Lucille]

Nooooooooo!

But Coburn, who tried several times to kill the legislation, promised to filibuster any measure that includes food safety, a maneuver that would cost Democrats precious floor time in the waning days of the lame-duck session. John Hart, a spokesman for Coburn, said Sunday night that he did not know why his boss relented.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Nooooooooo!

cha-ching go the Bush Tax Cuts?

 

[Lucille]

Sunday's Senate move came as a surprise, especially because no Republican objected to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's request for his colleagues to pass the food safety bill by unanimous consent.

Great. Just great.

 

[Kylie]

Those fucking douchebags.

I will not comply.

 

[amy31416]

I will not comply.

Outlaw Farmers.

I think I am one.

Start a nationwide movement during the conventions to amend their several Republican Party Platforms to include in the Preamble:

"The Republican Party of North Carolina asserts that our primary and dominant goal is to affect the strict and equal enforcement of the United States and the North Carolina Constitutions into State and Federal Law, in accord with the vision of Republican Party Co-Founder Frederick Douglass."

Register Republican and attend your conventions! Fifty States by 2014 GOP Platform Preamble, you too can amend it.

Glen,

Although your new persona as a dignified legislator from NC is nice, don't forgo your alter ego, GunnyFreedom.

The food safety bill did pass the Senate votes, and now moves to the Congress. Note: Finance bills are suppose to originate in the Congress, not the Senate, so old Harry did this to start the ball rolling. So now it is important to call your Congressmen and tell them to kill this bill
