Leave our food alone!!

Its sad to say but Collin Peterson will not listen to anyone who does not agree with him.  He’s known as the invisible man here in Minnesota.  He’s also known for becoming red faced and bug eyed and quite testy  if confronted about the falsehoods and out right misrepresentations of these bills.  If you were to confront him right now his stock answer would be “How come I don’t know anything about that”?  “I never heard of that”……and this is how he side steps the actual question by making it appear that the person posing it has somehow lost their minds.  If you persist it is apparent he becomes enraged.  That was very apparent in the March 11 AG hearing when opponents of NAIS stated facts that refuted the stage show put on by the government.  It looked like Peterson was going to explode.    Marti

Congressman Collin Peterson, Chairman
House Committee on Agriculture
1301 Longworth House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515

Subject: An Open Letter and Petition to House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson

Dear Congressman Peterson:

Your committee is currently reviewing H.R. 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009. We, the undersigned, are members of America’s agricultural community and friends of farmers, hunters, gardeners, and all those who work to feed our country and its people. We believe that H.R. 875 is a bad bill which would make a worse law, and we urge you to reject this bill and the many errors about the direction of American agricultural policy it embodies.

1. This bill places the food-producing activities of ordinary American families under the control of an ill-defined and expensive bureaucracy – a bureaucracy which ignores the century-plus history of the FDA as the primary regulator of America’s food safety on the national level in favor of creating “czars” and working groups under the direct control of the White House.
2. This bill places intolerable burdens on small organic farms and alternative agricultural producers, requiring them to do business under the very methodology that many of them were founded to avoid. We agree that nobody should be permitted to market unsafe or dangerous foods, but this bill goes much too far in attempting to standardize and regulate the production of food by small operators. America has a long and proud tradition of innovation and experimentation in the production of food – a tradition which has led our country to its current position as the most food-secure nation on Earth. This bill would discard that proud tradition in favor of bureaucracy and government control.
3. This bill creates regulatory and administrative hurdles that seem specifically designed to choke the economic life out of small producers in favor of the major corporations which can better afford to adapt expensive regulatory regimes. Again, we agree that regulation and oversight are important tools for the government to use in ensuring that America’s food supply is safe- but we do not believe that these tools must be deployed in a one-size-fits-all solution that ignores the wide diversity of American agricultural production.

All Americans agree that food safety is a vital issue for our country, and we applaud you and your committee’s tireless work to ensure that America’s food supply remains safe and secure. However, H.R. 875 does not advance that goal – it harms it, by placing far too much power in the hands of unelected officials, and removing responsibility from the farmers who have fed this country, and the world, for more than two centuries. We urge you in the strongest possible terms to reject this bill and prevent the destruction and disruption that it would create in our nation’s most critical economic sector.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

Another anti-gun bill from the anti-gun extremists HR 2159

Another anti-gun bill from the anti-gun extremists

HR 2159 is another bill from the anti-gun extremists. It says;

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d105:h.r.02159:

“The Attorney General may deny the transfer of a firearm pursuant to section 922(t)(1)(B)(ii) if the Attorney General determines that the transferee is known (or appropriately suspected) to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism, or providing material support thereof, and the Attorney General has a reasonable belief that the prospective transferee may use a firearm in connection with terrorism.”

In other words if the Attorney General suspects that you are a terrorist then he can deny you the right to buy a gun. There is no trial and no due process of law. So not only does this bill violate the second amendment, it also violates the fifth and sixth amendments.

The author of this bill and the cosponsors all took an oath to support the constitution. And yet here they are happily proposing to violate it left and right. In my opinion that should be ample reason for removing them from office.

But there are other troubling aspects to this bill. If second amendment rights can be removed in this manner what about other rights. Could your first amendment right of free speech be revoked because you might be using it to conspire with others to commit acts of terrorism? Could your fourth amendment right to privacy be taken because you might have something dangerous on your person or your property?

This bill stinks to high heaven. All Americans should contact their representatives and tell them this bill must not pass.

Codex Alimentarius and FAKE Food Safety Bills HR 875

Codex Alimentarius……..the greatest threat to our country……..if you discount the federal government.

The “Campaign Against America”

What was begun and partially implemented under the Republicans is now being finished by the Democrats.  If the majority of us have not understood by now that there is only one party in the District of Criminals, and that both factions of this party of controlling elites is dedicated to ending our sovereignty and thoroughly trashing our Constitution to meet that end, there is no hope for us.

Although most of the country heaved a sigh of relief when Bush 2 left office, taking with him the most corrupt cabinet and administration ever in our history, that relief was short lived.  It quickly became apparent that there would be a continuation of the “Campaign Against America” so successfully waged by the Bush Republicans.

When the Democrats assumed power many assumed there would be a reversal of all the egregious legislation that was neither Constitutional nor conducive to a free democratic society.  In that moment when we had to decide which lever to pull in the voting booth, which button to push many of us hoped this simple act would magically change the nightmare that has become our “government”. 

We voted for change.  The Democrats who promised change are fulfilling that promise with speed.  Here’s the change we can believe in:

• HR 814 National Animal Identification System (NAIS)

The theft of real livestock property from individual owners and producers creating a burdensome regulatory system with massive costs to family and independent producers while providing loopholes for industrialized corporate animal production; a known source of food contamination.  This program will do nothing to halt or track disease in livestock that isn’t already being done without it.

• HR 875, the Food Safety and Modernization Act and a host of other like-bills. 

Euphemistically referred to as “food safety” bills.  Dedicated to centralizing the food supply in the hands of industrialized corporate farming and ending family and independent farming and ranching.

These bills create a police state bureau which will be empowered to act outside the Constitution and not constrained by constitutional provisions or rights.  Each of them includes the Premises ID which empowers the government to seize and control previously owned individual property. 

These bills are dedicated to the takeover of all food production and supply in the US.

• HR 759 The Food and Drug Administration Globalization Act of 2009

This bill will facilitate the full implementation of Codex Alimentarius a world wide effort by the UN to seize control of food production and supply by forcing all nations to adhere to a contrived “harmonization” of laws.  Codex is set to be fully implemented by December 31, 2009 but without passage and adoption of Codex through legislative action, this would be an act of treason to subject the people of the US to non-US laws and regulations.

• S 787 :The Clean Water Restoration Act

              which is nothing more than the federal government seizing control of the US water supply from any source whatsoever.  

• S 773  The Cyber Security Act of 2009-10   

         This fine piece of fascist work includes a “kill switch” provision allowing the government at will, at its own determination to shut off all or   parts of the internet.  And of course there is s 778 which establishes a new office in the executive branch dedicated to doing this very thing.

 PS: On this kill switch issue they also want one on planes, and a “kill switch” is included in SMART GRID that ever expanding plan to dictate how much energy you can use with the capability of shutting down entire sections of the country……or just your house…..whatever suits their needs at the moment.

 With just these five bills our government is poised to;

• take over food production and supply and hand it over to their corporate handlers
• force family and independent food and livestock producers to “voluntarily” abandon their property rights and forfeit them to the federal government
• establish another police state bureaucracy whose main mission will be enforcement of this part of the police state
• seize control of the entire water supply allowing it to be converted from one of human right, to a tradable commodity for sale to the highest bidder and which will necessitate the creation of yet another bureaucracy to enforce this takeover
• Shut down all internet access and phone service at will to end the alternative sources of news and communication by the public to be enforced by another newly created bureaucracy located in the White House.
• Shut down all electric service either individually or by region or area which of course will require another unelected bureaucratic enforcement agency to be created.

Not one of these bills or programs will make us safe from terrorist attacks or do anything other than diminish our standing as a free people.  Each of these items is designed to lessen our freedom, to subject us to police state powers enforced by multiple police state enforcement agencies. 

 As for the “national security” claim and the threats of being attacked; we would be far better off to keep an eye on the Washington District of Criminals.  It is from the “district” that the greatest attacks on our freedom and liberty are being waged.
