GreaterJoy Off-Topic - Proposed bill against organic food growers

Hello Everyone,I hope this is okay to post. This sounds pretty serious to our access to good wholesome food that is not genetically modified or laden with chemicals. It may not have anything to do with essential oils but it certainly may have lots to do with our overall health.Blessings to all,Millie TrothSun, 8 Mar 2009 08:33:05 -0700 (PDT)House and Senate bills to kill all organic farms (FAST track bills in 2 weeks)Food Safety Modernization Act (HR 875): Criminalization of Organic FarmsBills are:House H.R. 875http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-875Senate S 425http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-425IF YOU LIKE A GARDEN OR BUY ORGANIC FOOD YOU BETTER GET ON THAT PHONE TO YOUR CONGRESS REP's N-O-W!!!!There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening up on Capital Hill.The 'main' backer and lobbyist is...(guess who?) Monsanto!Don't know who Monsanto is?www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MonsantoNeed more info??www.organicconsumers.org/monlink.cfmJust google the company and the news swirling around them.The few multi-million dollar companies in the farming industry would like nothing better than to eliminate any opposition with the support of the federal government. The Bills will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous sprays. All farms and growers will be instructed and regulated by the newly formed agency to 'make sure there is no danger to the general public and the appending food supply.' The attempt is to 'standardize' the agricultural industry. At first this may appear as if it is only directed at commercial farms but don't be fooled. This WILL include backyard gardens that grow food for consumption by a single family and not intended for resale. Most prior Bills that started off with such intent are later expanded in their scope and become more restricted in nature. If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.There is a video on the subject. Please educate your family & friends.http://www.voteronpaul.com/newsDetail.php?Food-Safety-Modernization-Act-HR-875-Criminalization-of-Organic-Farms-222 The name on this evil food plan is the...Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009(Really makes it sound like the feds are trying protect us!)Let me be crystal clear here......This has NOTHING to do with food safety.This is only about TOTAL CONTROL by the federal gov't in our lives and the greed of Monsanto.Get on that phone Monday and burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing. Otherwise, lets see what will become of your garden and those around you.
