Dear Friend of Liberty,
Power-hungry statists are never satisfied.
Now they’re attempting to use a massive egg recall to shove S. 510, the
so-called
"Food Safety Modernization Act," down our throats.
S. 510, through a patchwork of rules and regulations on the food
"industry," will
throw America’s heartland under the government-subsidized corporatist bus as it
crushes
local and community producers of healthy food.
Click here to contact your senators today to tell them to oppose S.510!
Like Cap and Tax, which will guarantee higher energy bills during these
rough economic
times, S. 510 will further drive up the costs of living by adding more layers
of bureaucracy
on food production – ensuring you pay more to meet an essential need.
Congress certainly won’t be the one tightening its belt. Section 401 of
S. 510
authorizes nearly $1 billion to grow the FDA’s reach and calls for almost 4,000
new
bureaucrats to be hired in fiscal year 2010 alone.
This onerous new law will apply harshly to reputable food producers like
the
independent family farm, where the free market works every day to provide the
public with
healthy choices.
Meanwhile, Big Agriculture will continue to use its well-entrenched
connections to
make sure it escapes serious scrutiny.
The statists have worked to replace "credible evidence" with "reasonable
probability"
in the U.S. Code, giving the FDA power to invade, quarantine, or shut down
private property
in search of any foodborne illness.
They also changed "presents a threat of serious adverse health
consequences or death
to humans or animals" to "is adulterated or misbranded." What exactly
constitutes
adulterated? That glass of raw milk? An FDA bureaucrat will decide.
It gets worse.
The bill also grants blanket authority for federal agencies to impose
international
guidelines and standards on domestic food producers - giving agencies authority
to harmonize
all American food production and processes in line with the globalist Codex.
It should be noted that Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), Mike Enzi (R-WY),
Dick Durbin
(D-IL), Judd Gregg (R-NH), Chris Dodd (D-CT), and Richard Burr (R-NC)
coordinated to reach a
"bipartisan" agreement to forge ahead with the otherwise stalled bill.
If you are a constituent of any of these senators, they especially need
to hear from
you.
Big Brother and Big Agriculture are combating the truly modern way to
improve food
safety by targeting the rapidly growing number of food producers who, through
the free
market, provide diversity and give us choices.
The establishment is pushing for more consolidation and is looking to
control your
food choices to make it happen. Don’t stomach another round of tyranny.
Contact your
senators today.
In Liberty,
John Tate
President
P.S. Gluttonous statists are drooling to pass not only this bill, but
other assaults
like DISCLOSE and Cap and Tax. If you are able, please chip in $10 today so
Campaign for
Liberty can stay on the offensive against any infringements on our freedoms.
