FYI. (Sorry if you get this directly)

Congresswoman Rosa De Lauro, sponsor of HR 875 looks over a " No Monsanto " symbol

as opposition to her so called " Food Safety " bill and all other bogus " Food

Safety Bills " Mounts- There will be riots in the streets if we fail to kill or

amend these bills.......

but now its EASY to oppose them with one mouse click! Please TAKE ACTION & Mass

Forward this Alert!!

 

 

IAHF List:

Please go here http://www.usalone.com/cgi-bin/petition.cgi?pnum=960 to kill or

amend a slew of so called " Food Safety Bills " that threaten to destroy small

farmers and even attack backyard gardeners. From this site that I just created,

along with sending your comments to your Congressman and Senators, you can also

send your concerns to your local newspapers.

 

HR 875 could also be used to attack dietary supplements by not moving them along

with CFSAN (Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition) over to the new Food

Safety Agency that this bill would create inside the Department of Health and

Human Services. If this did happen, FDA would have a much easier time attacking

dietary supplements and trying to regulate them as " drugs " which they're NOT!!!

We must insist language be written into HR 875 specifically forbidding dietary

supplements from staying at FDA if food in common for is shifted over to this

new Food Safety Agency.

Today I had a conference call about so called " Food Safety Bills " HR 759, HR

814, HR 815,HR 875, HR 1332,S.425

 

One of the people on the call was Deborah Stockton, Exec Dir of NICFA (National

Independent Consumer and Farmers Association) www.nicfa.org I first learned of

her opposition to the so called " Food Safety Bills " via the superb job she did

on the Glen Beck show recently against HR 875:

Deborah shared the following letter with me from Congresswoman Pingree of Maine.

(The letter had been written to one of Pingree's constitutents who is a good

friend of Deborah's).

 

I was very encouraged to see that Pingree has removed herself as a cosponsor of

HR 875, DeLauro's bad billl. If we work hard enough, we can get more cosponsors

to remove their names from these bills and we can succeed in killing or amending

them!

 

 

 

Dear John,

 

 

Thank you for contacting me about H.R. 875, the Food Safety

Modernization Act. I appreciate your thoughtful feedback on this

very important issue.

As you may know, I have been a staunch supporter of organic farming

and the local food movement for a long time. As someone who once

owned my own small organic farm on North Haven, I truly understand

your concerns with this piece of legislation. I want you to know

that I am working hard to make sure small and organic farmers are

safe under any new food safety laws.

 

 

Any food safety bill that moves through Congress this year must

take organic and small farmers' concerns into account. This is why I

have decided to remove myself as a co-sponsor of H.R. 875. Several

bills have been introduced in the 111th Congress aimed at addressing

food safety in the wake of the recent peanut salmonella outbreak.

Although I am an advocate for food safety, these bills that affect

small and organic farmers could have unintended consequences.

 

 

I have carefully reviewed your suggestions, and have started

looking into ways to proactively protect the Maine farming

community. To this end, I have been working closely with Russell

Libby, a good friend and Executive Director of the Maine Organic

Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA). We have been talking

about ways to ensure that our foods are safe, while also making sure

that the local farming movement can continue to grow.

 

 

Russell has put together information on the several food safety bills

that have been introduced in the 111th Congress. If you would like

additional information about these or other bills, please visit

MOFGA's website:

odSafety/tabid/1102/Default.aspx

 

I also thought you would be interested to read a

related Bangor Daily News article on the current food safety debate:

http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/102645.html.

 

 

I appreciate your continued comments as we work towards better food

safety. Thank you for taking the time to engage in the legislative

process and inform me of your thoughts on this extremely important

issue. Please know that I am on your side and that I will only vote

for a bill that protects the small, organic farms of Maine - and I

truly look forward to working with you.

 

 

Thanks again for being in touch, and I look forward to hearing from

you soon.

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Chellie Pingree

Member of Congress
