WILL WE OVERCOME THE DISTRICT OF CRIMINALS TO KILL S.510 ON MONDAY???
MAKE YOUR CALLS IMMEDIATELY TO KILL THE "FOOD SAFETY" BILL ON THE SENATE FLOOR!!
VOTE IS MONDAY- WE CAN KILL THIS!!
 
IAHF LIST:

In my last alert, I gave you attorney Jonathan Emord's analysis of S.510, the Food Safety Bill which threatens to have a very dangerous long range impact on not only our access to organic food, but also to dietary supplements due to harmonization language with the EU thats in it.

See the list below of Senators who have been bribed to support this bad bill which threatens to destroy small farmers by imposing full HACCP regulations that they won't be able to afford.
 
WHAT TO DO IMMEDIATELY (VOTE IS ON MONDAY):
Please call both of your Senators today to oppose it via the Capital Switchboard at
202-224-3121. When you get connected ask for each of your Senators. Tell them to kill S.510 The Food Safety Bill Tell them not to hand broad new regulatory powers to the corrupt FDA that would be used against dietary supplement manufacturers and also small farmers! If they don't believe this legislation would impact dietary supplements, send them Emord's analysis.
 
If they are supporting the bill as shown in the list below, please urge them to re-think their support the way Senator Hatch did! He initially supported the bill, but turned against it when he saw how much it would cost our bankrupt government to implement (see his press release.)
 
This monstrous pro Monsanto legislation favors Big AG, and threatens to CRUSH small farmers. Any Senator who tries to claim otherwise is a bought off LIAR. It threatens our access to dietary supplements down the road via harmonization language with the EU, and does nothing to protect food safety.
 
If you appreciate IAHF's efforts, please forward this widely and urge more people to act, and please support IAHF with a donation via paypal  or by sending a check or M.O. to IAHF 556 Boundary Bay Rd., Point Roberts WA 98281 USA.

We should pay close attention to how the Senators vote when the bill reaches the floor of the Senate for a final Yes or No vote. Will those Senators who received a significant amount of money from Special Interest groups that support this anti-Liberty bill, vote Yes? We will find out shortly.

I hope the bill fails. I see we have the best government money can buy. It came to no surprise that the two communists from arkansas voted for the bill.

Wow good work on tracking down all the bribes. You got one thing wrong tho. Not all 'Veterinarians' support it. I'm a veterinarian and I know I sure as hell do not. You meant to say that the American Veterinary Medical Association supports it. Which they do. I sent the AVMA an email the other day telling them how sorely disappointed I am that they should support this latest fetid peice of fascist legislation. Of course, no response. The American Veterinary Medical Association does not represent it's members at all. They are a snobbish,unionish, fascist orgaization that cajoles it's 'members' into continuing their memberships because that's the cheapest way of obtaining malpractice insurance. (Their malpractice insurance requires membership). The only other benefit to membership is their (essentially worthless) journal, which every veterinarian that I know just tosses in the trash upon recieving. So please don't say that veterinarians support S 510. This one emphati
cally does not. (Hey, I have a garden- and so do lots of my clients!!)

You posted in this article http://www.libertynewsonline.com/article_301_29693.php that Senator Hatch was voting for S 510- the food safety bill and had been "bought off".

First of all he voted against the bill twice last week and continues to remain against the bill, so he obviously hasn't been bought off for the bill. You can check the record but his stance is clear, you can also view his statement against the bill here, http://hatch.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=PressReleases.Detail&PressRelease_id=65fb793a-1b78-be3e-e031-79b91e3aa9e4. I hope that you'd correct your posting about Senator Hatch's stance.

Anyways if you'd like to discuss this you are welcome to call me at 202-228-3095 or email me back. Thanks for your time.

That is very interesting about Hatch, as I complained about SB 510 a couple of weeks ago and he sent me a letter, stating he had supported it and voted for it in committee. This was already known by me. Sounds like he has had a change of heart because too many patriots have voiced opposition. There is always hope. DON\\\'T BE AFRAID TO VOICE YOUR CONCERNS. YOU ARE HEARD.
