America's small farmers are under attack through a series of bills presented under the guise of "food safety." I don't want to lose my freedom to grow, buy and eat real foods. Let's fight for our small farmers who not only need our protection and support, but actual freeing from government intrusion, control and harm.

I think somebody needs to

I think somebody needs to expose Monsanto and their secret affiliate group of companies. They are genetically modifying foods at an alarming scale.
