The following is from another list on Yahoo groups. Food safety is another administration priority. Seems like most of the problems with food safety already come from processing plants which are government inspected. I really do not want the government telling me what I can plant etc. I hope the links work since I had trouble with the ethreemail links.
Hi Y'all,
Although there have been some misfires in the past regarding
supplement regulations, this one is for real. Of course it all
sounds good - especially after the recent food scares, but of course
the real agenda is behind the window dressing.
If you are so inclined, please read on and get involved. Besides the
links below, I found the comments posted on:
http://www.washingt onwatch.com/ bills/show/ 111_HR_875. html to be most helpful as well.
Regards,
Brian
P.S. Don't wait for the main stream media to confirm or sound the
alarm, they won't bite the hand that feeds.

Forwarded from another list member who just happens to be my Mom!:
US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on a
bill that OUTLAWS ORGANIC FARMING (Bill HR 875). The name on this
outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 ...
And, there is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2
weeks before people realize what is happening.
This bill must have been handled in a really stealthy manner, since
it came out of nowhere in the last week. No doubt, the way it's
backers, "the Agri-Giants" wanted it. Perhaps a coincidence with
"Spring Break" and many people out of town in the weeks before. With
enough congressmen signing bills without reading them, there's no
time to sleep on this one. How do you organize all these small
farmers to fight the big guys? Spread it far and wide my friends.
Make a noise.
The main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto - chemical and genetic
engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other
related agri-giants) . This bill will require organic farms to use
specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by a newly
formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food
supply". This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a
family and not for sales.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds will be allowed, but
only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with
unexpected diseases in humans.
Here's a link that gives you an idea how this can be happening and
information about the bill:

THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING
LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTATIVES TODAY! Get on that phone and
burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing. The
House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened
with loss of their position.... They only fear your voice and your vote.
Again, the best thing to do is go to
https://writerep. house.gov/ writerep/welcome. shtml all you have to do is put in your zip and it
will give you your congressperson and how to get in touch with them.
When you call their office someone will answer the phone, just tell
them (politely) that you are calling to express your views on HR 875.
Tell them your views, they'll take your name and address and pass
your comments along to the congressperson.

Monsanto is trying to make "organic" illegal
I have watched hours of youtube videos pertaining to Monsanto. I am
convinced, that amongst stiff competition, Monsanto is easily the
most evil corporation on the planet. Please help by taking action
asap!! This is serious. This is a typical corporate ploy to pull "a
fast one" while everyone is looking the other way. (i.e. the economy).
Thanks Robert Trafeli
