HR2749 Up for REVOTE TODAY (THURSDAY)!
Call Your Rep NOW: 202-224-3121
Thanks to Andrew from Campaign for Liberty for the head's up:
This just in from the National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association (NICFA):
VOTE on HR 2749 POSSIBLE TUESDAY. CALL TODAY.
HR 2749, the All Industrial Agriculture bill, could be voted on in the House of Representatives Tuesday. Please call your Congressman immediately and request that he or she reject this bill. Normal voting rules have been suspended to try and ram this through, so please call immediately.
This bill will:
- Mandate NAIS (National Animal Identification System)
- Allow industrializations of all farms
- Give the federal government arbitrary power to force any practices they choose on any farm.
- Allow the federal government to outlaw raw milk
This bill will not create the food safety it claims (it's actually called The Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009). It will make the our food supply less safe by eliminating small farms and centralizing production and processing more than it is already.
ACTION: Please call your Congressman immediately and ask him or her to vote AGAINST HR2749.

There is no amendment that will "fix" this bill. An amendment proposed by Representative Kaptur has not been accepted and will not fix the problems in this bill anyway. We want to stop this bill.
Yours for small farms and real food,
Deborah Stockton, Executive Director
National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association (NICFA)

Shelly, love the updates. I have only two inputs on the videos; buy or request from your listeners a better audio system(new mike) to be better able to hear you and stop leaning!(sit back or sit straight) please.
Other than that see: The World According to Monsanto, Food Matters, The Future of Food, Sweet Misery, etc. Very enlightening!

I sit down to check out H.R.
I sit down to check out H.R. 2749 and lo and behold I find my congressman is the one who introduced the damn thing! I'm sick and tired of our so called representatives. We need to oust them and replace them with real representatives who will actually listen to what their people really want.
Hear, hear. Have you checked
Hear, hear. Have you checked out icaucus.org?
I emailed my congressman
I emailed my congressman (Rep. Fortenberry, NE-1). Nebraska's farm country, so hopefully he'll vote the right way. We'll see though. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Just paying attention to all the stuff that goes through Congress, the idea that we have anything even CLOSE to a free, open market is absurd. So much crazy regulations, many people don't realize just how harmful and unnecessary they are and how many times they are simply anti-competitive weapons used by bigger businesses with greater govt access to strike down small business competition.
