Right To Farm Act Being Attacked. Mmj Included

[peanutbutter]

The ability of persons to grow in their own gardens and sell the results is being attacked.

 

It is currently being planned to kill that part of the Right to Farm act before the end of the current term.

 

Greg Fansisco has pointed out many times that this aspect of the Right to Farm act protects Michigan caregivers.

 

They are working hard to remove this protection from caregivers in Lansing right now.

 

Everyone has their favorite farmer's or home garden produce stand to pick up your local grown fruits and veggies. These are far superior in taste as well as nutritional value. There is a bill S510 that will banish and make these places illegal; and even your own backyard garden. Can you imagine going to jail for saving your favorite seeds to replant in the spring. Unfortunately if this bill S510 passes, this will become reality.

In just a few short days - 11.29.10 - the Senate will be voting on S510 a bill that will destroy our healthy and nutritious food supply as well as all local farming, and much more!

I'm trying this link & I don't get anything except a blank Health & Wealth page ?

[mstone]

Ah yes, S510..... everyone is complaining about TSA and our rights just at this moment in time. Yet quietly S510 is being voted on and approved in the senate and now off to the house. If this passes we are all fair game to be shut down and prosecuted. This is the start of the WTO controlling the food distribution to is people. Very Scarry...

Link doesn't seem to work well. Is this new bill focusing only on medical Marijuana growth, cregivers or is it inclusive even off the smallest gardens?

[mstone]

This bill is for every man, woman and child in the US. It covers everything like corn, fruit, seeds and because MM is a crop it is included as well. My friends this isn't about marijuana, its about the corporate and elite takeover of our food supply ending your basic right to grow food for yourself and others.

Dear Senator,

 

VOTE NO ON S.510. The Coburn/Tester amendments do NOT satisfy our concerns. This bill is NOT a 'noncontroversial' bill that the Senate can push through during the Lame Duck session!

 

THIS BILL AND ITS COMPANIONS SHOULD BE DEBATED BY THE NEW CONGRESS! WE DO NOT WANT MORE FEDERAL BUREAUCRACY!

 

SO NOT SUPPORT S.3767 which would reintroduce the criminal penalties that were not included in HR.2749 or S.510. Do not include provisions from the discredited S.3002. These bills would destroy our access to dietary supplements and local food supplies!

 

Your constituents and others all around the US, in our determination to protect the right of every American to clean, healthy, clearly labeled, unadulterated food, have brought strenuous objection to degrading our food supply and implementing the well-presented, but very dangerous Codex HARMonziation which the corrupt and dangerous FDA, USDA and other industry-led agencies are so eager to present to us as faits accompli.

 

Instead, we look to you to preserve our right to clean food, labeled to indicate pesticides, adulterants, GMOs and other dangerous ingredients and to make sure that S. 510, the mis-named "Food SAFETY Bill" is defeated through either inaction or a successful Nay vote and any similar bill is, likewise, defeated.

 

Among the dangers facing our food and our freedom is the FDA's determination to destroy our access to high potency nutrients although guaranteed by the 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act (DSHEA). Amendments and bills to do so, along with the FDA's illegal Codex activities constantly threaten this freedom of choice. I look to you as my elected legislator to protect this right along with all other food and health freedom related ones.

 

I will be monitoring your activities on these issues closely. Thank you in advance for your work in the service of health and freedom. I take these issues very seriously and will vote on the basis of their support by my legislators and other elected officials.

 

STOP THE MONOPOLY BILL! STOP FORCED INDUSTRIALIZATION OF OUR LOCAL FOOD SUPPLIES! STOP THE BIG AGRI BIZ POWER GRAB!"

 

This is a very important matter to me and I will keep track of your actions on this bad bill.

 

Yours in health and freedom

Does the cottage industry act protect against this?

Has anyone actually read the bill? I started to read it but it's very long and am not finished. I don't see how it is going to do what you say it is going to do. Maybe you could zero in on the language you think will have the adverse affect to which you are referring. So far it seems to me to be a bill to protect consumers from contaminated veggies to help prevent the e coli scare we've had in tomatoes, spinach, lettuce, et al over the past few years. The bad things being said in the google searches SEEM to be propaganda started by corporate farming in an effort to scare people into telling their reps to vote no.

[Indicat]

i invite any one of you who still thinks we live in a non-fascist, non-police-state, to present your arguments after seeing a bill like this actually make it to fruition.

I've read the bill and do not see what it is you are all freaking out about. Please point out the section, in quotes or whatever..not some guy spouting his opinion about each sentence. I can think for myself thankyou. This all sounds like the insanity that got Acorn killed unjustifiably, and other craziness that Fox News and their Corporate puppeteers spread.

Sorry, but my annoyance level about the righteous right is hitting an all time high.

Progressive, liberal and proud of it!
