Dear Citizen for Health,
For those of you who haven't already heard, the House lame-duck leadership
amended the
“Continuing Resolution” Funding Bill - intended to keep the federal government
running for
another year - to include the language from S. 510, the FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act.
Unfortunately the House rushed to action Wednesday and passed it, sending it
along to the
Senate. Further action could happen as soon as today, Thursday, December 9th.
It is quite unusual to attach such an initiative to a bill authorizing
continued government
funding and operations.
Urge your Senators NOW to resist any effort to ram through S. 510!
And so, back to the Senate we go. Make no mistake - your efforts are having an
impact, and
we can't give up now! The House vote was very close: 212 to 205. This is a
reflection of how
your thousands of messages have helped a significant number of legislators
stand firm in the
face of pressure from big Agribusiness.
We have to keep holding their feet to the fire and stop this dangerous policy
from becoming
law. The Senate can still strip S. 510 from the Continuing Resolution before
passing it.
Congress needs to recognize that:
--Combining a controversial regulatory bill with the Continuing Resolution to
fund
government operations is inappropriate at best, and at worst, shameful.
--It is even more disturbing that this has been done in spite of thousands and
thousands of
voters who have made it clear they believe that the federal government is too
big and must
stop over-regulating.
--S. 510 must be stripped from the Continuing Resolution so that Congress can
decide to
continue funding at a certain level without muddying the process with
extraneous matters.
--We will be monitoring the Senate and expect them to act from principle and
not the
language from S. 510.
Tell your Senators NOW to strip S. 510 from the Continuing Resolution!
Thanks to all of you who have been participating and helping to hold Congress
accountable,
The Citizens for Health Team
