Scroll down and type in your zip. Automated list of your congress critters pops up, with letter of opposition to pass S510. If you agree...please send!

You may want to tell them in your message that the language in S.510:

1. Will close down family and organic farms because it requires them to have hugely
expensive machinery that they cannot afford;

2. Will create a monopoly over industrialized food for Big Agrabiz;

3. Will NOT stop tainted food problems because the bad stuff comes from
Big Agribiz where they already have the machinery and mechanisms required but still produce factory farm food;

4. Has language that opens the door for Codex restrictions to be implemented in the US despite the will of the people, current law and current regulation

5. The law contains language that allows bureaucrats to create secret regulations;

6. Will put the Homeland Security in charge of food delivery systems around the country
- politicizing same since any state in disagreement with the Feds will have
problems receiving food;

7. Because S. 510 so strongly favors Big Agrabiz, companies like Monsanto will more easily be able to push its GM agenda; and

8. Will cost at least $825 million in the first year…

Sideler ... we hear you, honest we do.

I live in rural Ohio, and this will so negatively affect all of our neighbors with small farms. Both Voinovich and Brown voted for cloture last week, and Voinovich's office could not give me his reason for voting for it. Over Thanksgiving, I talked with a neighbor (a non-farmer) and you should have seen the blank look on his face when I talked about it. He had no clue it existed and didn't understand what the implications were.

Our .gov is a runaway train with so many heads to battle that it's virtually impossible for anyone to keep up.

GFB, Thanks for responding. I'm frustrated with the underwhelming response to my thread.

I'm back in rural Ohio as of a few months ago. My neighbors and local farmers don't have a clue either. Sad for the future of this country.

Yeah, I posted a similar thread in FedUp. I've called and written and sent emails to all and sundry.

My guess is gov. will have to fail and we'll all have to starve before any of this TBTF takeovers by corporate interests stops.

My rural, small-farm neighbors down here in southern Oregon are well-aware of this bill, but extremely fatalistic. Most live well outside the "regulated" space, anyway, and just assume that everything they do to support themselves will be made illegal eventually (soon!) anyway.

Just one of the reasons so many of them are so well armed.
