Protect US food growers / farmers

Say no to the 'Food Safety Bill!'

VOTE ON PASSAGE OF S. 510 THE “FOOD SAFETY BILL”
POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2010.

In the Senate of the United States, private food producers were spared the axe last night.
America spoke again last night and the Senate attempted to salvage bad legislation that would “preclude the public’s right to grow, own, trade, transport, share, feed and eat each and every food that nature makes.”

S 510 puts all US food and all US farms under Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, in the event of contamination or emergency.

At 6:30 E. S. T. the senate set off final the vote until Monday, November 29th
