According to a number of reliable organizations, Senate Bill S510, the so-called "Food Safety Modernization Act" will make it illegal to grow, share, trade, or sell homegrown food!

Opposition to the bill is coming from across the political spectrum now as passage has suddenly become more likely in September. The egg recall may have been timed to help the passage of S510 which was defeated by public opposition last November and again this July and August.

The bill may be voted on again shortly after Labor Day and unless there is massive email opposition, S510 is now likely to pass. Dr. Riba Laibow, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation says that several hundred thousand new emails will be required to defeat this bill again in September.

So, please use the link below to email your senators today even if you emailed them earlier!

I live in New York. I joined your group to post to post my concerns about S510 the so-called "Food Safety Modernization Act". I have contacted 26 Permaculture Groups with a combined membership of about 10,000 people because I am DETERMINED to see this bill defeated again in September. I am writing your group again now to share some impressive videos and new information.

Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) was one of the 6 senators who worked to forge ahead with the otherwise stalled bill. So, he especially needs to hear from his constituents now!

The bill may be voted on again shortly after Labor Day and unless there is massive email opposition, S510 is now likely to pass. Dr. Laibow says that several hundred thousand new emails will be required to defeat this bill again in September. So, please use the link below to email your senators today even if you emailed them earlier! While several other prepared emails are available, the prepared email linked to below is especially powerful because it specifically references the egg recall and says that it is no excuse to pass the bill.

Videos

The first video linked to below interviews a small farmer who fears that S510 will shut him down because of the "devil in the details". The video below from Dr. Riba Laibow, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation, explains that the regulations would be prohibitive not only for gardeners, urban farmers, and small farmers, but also for all organic farmers.

The videos show that the bill can prohibit homegrown and organic foods without specifying them as illegal just by making the regulations so onerous that only large agribiz farms will be able to comply. Dr. Laibow says that this bill is the greatest threat to our health and freedom she has ever seen and minces no words about its implications. The third video below is short but powerful, while the last video below is very shocking. It shows a preview of what may happen if S510 is passed. Articles are linked to below for more information.


War on Food

An email on 8/31/10 from the Campaign for Liberty called "The War on Food" points out:

"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.... 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."

Thanks,
