TAKE REVISED S.510 ACTION ITEM
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303

The Fake Food Safety Bill Saga Continues...
The action continues in the US Senate this week.
CONTINUE TO PUSH BACK!
We will keep you informed!

I spoke to Senator Coburn's office this morning. After the Senate takes up the tax-extension bill it will take up the Continuing Resolution. Monday evening and all day Tuesday are critical to our effort to preserve Health & Food Freedom!

A CR is supposed to continue the govt's programs temporarily until Congress votes an actual "budget." It is not supposed to include major regulatory initiatives, such as budget-busting spending increases of a trillion dollars... or S.510, the fake "food safety" bill.
Our message: PLEASE CONTINUE TO "MESSAGE" YOUR SENATORS, BY PHONE OR EMAIL, TO OPPOSE ANY C.R. THAT DOES MORE THAN JUST CONTINUE CURRENT PROGRAMS!
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303
Here is what our friends at the Campaign for Liberty have to say about it:

"This week, the Senate will vote on a long-term Continuing Resolution (CR) that leaves spending at 2010 levels, makes over $1 trillion in appropriations for Big Government projects, and contains S. 510, the FDA's War on Food, as an attachment. Contact your senators and urge them to vote against the long-term CR on every vote - including cloture - and to support a short-term version that will fund the government only until the new Congress convenes and removes the S. 510 language."

Today's Senate Calendar states: "Monday, Dec 13, 2010 - 2:00 p.m.: Convene and resume consideration of the motion to concur with respect to H.R.4853, the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010."
Continue to tell your Senators that you STRONGELY OPPOSE the use of the Continuing Resolution (HR.3082, needed to keeping Federal program operating through the Holidays) to force S.510 through the lame-duck Congress!

Time is short.
The consequenses of inaction are long, very, very long...
PLEASE USE THE ACTION ITEM EVERY DAY... OFTEN!

Food Freedom Action Plan

Join our second annual war council this Sunday; hear from some leading voices advocating for health and food freedom; review the triumphs and tragedies of the past year; consider where we go from here: de-funding the new food control law; petitioning the government to demand redress for the deadly swine flu (and new seasonal flu) vaccine, among other issues. Listen live, and chat, at this special web site: www.HealthFreedomPortal.org -- the meeting will be co-chaired by Maj Gen Bert Stubblebine (US Army ret) the President of Natural Solutions Foundation and Dr. Rima E. Laibow, MD, its Medical Director. Time: Sunday, January 2, 2011 from 9 to noon Central time. Webinar link will be available at the Health Freedom Portal. More info: www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=7925.

Everyone who worked so hard to hold off the massive increase in Federal food control represented by the fake �food safety� bill passed by the House [4:50 PM 12.21.10] deserves our sincerest thanks.
Action Item to the White House: �Michelle, Please Intervene��

What we gained although we lost�

While we ultimately may not have stopped this in the Congress, the law that was adopted is a different creature than we would have faced had we not opposed it every step of the way. Recall, the first version of the bill that passed the House in July �09 had severe penalties and no significant exemption for local production and distribution. The version that passed the Senate at the end of November 2010 not only had no such severe penalties, but did have a rather weak exemption for some local production and distribution.

It also did not have, as it might have, without our Push Back, two draconian bills that had been introduced in the Senate to prepare the way to add their terms to the final �food safety� bill; these were Sen. McCain�s discredited S.3002 which would have brought Dietary Supplements under even greater Federal control and the �criminalization of speech about food claims� bill, S.3767, introduced by the majority party �leadership� late in the session. The criminal penalty bill, while remaining a future risk, went nowhere, after over a hundred thousand messages of opposition. Opposition to McCain�s attempt to legislate Codex compliance was so great that he withdrew his own support from his own bill a month and a day after introducing it in February 2010. And the final bill adopted today has a stronger local food exemption, with an inflation escalation clause, so the exemption may become meaningful, depending on how the final regulations are written.

lamest of Lame-ducks feathering their nests�

This is what happened, after the GOP Senators turned their back on us (see: http://timyurl.com/GOPbetrayal) letting the majority party have its way late Sunday night: the House gave cursory consideration to the matter and our representatives were given a few minutes to cast their votes, today, Tuesday. The vote was 216 to 144 with many Republicans failing to even vote �No!� to show their support for Food Freedom. A few brave Democrats also stood with the voters in voting against 4,000 new FDA inspectors; secret regulations; effective Federal take-over of State food inspection agencies; HARMonization with Codex Alimentarius� restrictions one step closer�

Of course, we cannot allow this to stand. What are our next steps? What is the Plan?

1. We are starting a campaign asking First Lady, wife of POTUS, mother, organic gardner and childhood obesity activist Michelle Obama, to help veto the bill and for the White House to intervene in the FDA regulation-making process to make sure that our very serious concerns get addressed:

a. Implementing the exemption for local production and distribution in the least burdensome way,
b. Assuring that Section 104�s �in the interest of national security� clause is not used to create secret regulations favoring Big AgBiz &
c. No �back-door� HARMonization of our food freedoms with international Codex Alimentarius restrictions.

2. We will seek to prevent any funding for this increase in Federal power in the new Congress.

3. We continue to urge families to develop their own square foot gardens and become as independent as possible from the attempt to control our food to restrict our freedoms. See: www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org.

We are deeply grateful for the support that the Health and Food Freedom Movement received from so many individuals and organizations across the educational/political/civic spectrum. Groups as diverse as Organic Consumers, Farmers and Gardeners; family ranch, dairy and farm groups; major Tea Party alliances, including Tea Party Patriots; Freedom Advocates (like Campaign for Liberty, Downsize DC) joined with health freedom groups such as Health Freedom USA, Natural News and Citizens for Health followed our lead and fought with vigor and dedication against food fascim in this bill. There are other significant issues about which members of this transpartisan coalition will no doubt work together over the next months and years. This is an inestimable benefit in the long struggle for Liberty�

The struggle for Health and Food Freedom is far from over!
