All organic life, the eco-system, bee farmers, seeds, organic growth is at stake. Read this bill, especially the Codex Alimentarius guidelines! Rise up, tell your reps we have had enough!

It takes a little extra work, but we have to do it. Also, if you live close to your capital, drop in while they are out of session. March, make placards, take a group. We have 3 weeks to push back. Tell everyone you know! There is no time to waste. Please remember snail mail is more apt to be taken seriously than an email when corresponding with your rep.

This bill gives all too much power to the bureaucrats. They are pencil pushers who do not understand the plow. At best they are from Big Ag, or is that at worst. Either way it is the same-o-same-o with them. They're doing their best to shut down small farms and hand over the goodies to Big Ag. The big corporations want that last 15% of the market firmly under their thumbs. We will lose choice in the market and food security as they consolidate. What's left? Fight it in the Senate.

Now all they need is a simple majority which is what they have!
