Dear Citizen for Health,
By now you know that 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 last Wednesday and passed it, sending it along to the Senate.
On Monday we
told you that further action could happen anytime - that time has come.
Once the Senate has finished consideration of the Middle Class Tax Relief Act
of 2010, they
intend to take up the Continuing Resolution, now referred to as the Omnibus
Bill. Only now,
Senator Daniel Inouye [D-HI] has attached an amendment containing - you guessed
it - the
dangerous language from S. 510. The vote could happen this afternoon, so
there's no time to
waste!
Urge your Senators NOW to resist any effort to ram through S. 510!
The backroom dealing continues. The Senate must act quickly, since the chance
to pass the
Omnibus Bill expires Friday, December 17th. Make no mistake - your efforts are
having an
impact, and now we're in the home stretch with an 11th-hour victory in sight!
We have to keep holding lawmakers' 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!
And a special thank you to everyone who responded to our recent request for
financial
support. Thanks to your donations, we raised enough to retain a Project
Coordinator for two
months - a critical factor in our efforts to keep you informed about threats to
your health
freedoms, like S. 510. We still have a long way to go to reach the budget goals
that will
keep us staffed into the New Year - so if you have yet to do so, please
consider Citizens
for Health in your giving plans this season - donate here. There is no amount
of support too
small to have an impact.
Thanks to all of you who have been participating and helping to hold Congress
accountable,
The Citizens for Health Team
