Subject: Hillbilly/Dori Author: Connie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:12:17 11/22/10 Mon In reply to: Connie 's message, "Hillbilly" on 10:35:49 11/21/10 Sun According to Eric Erikson, Red State, the government take-over is already on the way. Yesterday, the Senate voted to take up consideration of S.510, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act, which would grant the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) more control over our diets. The supposed intention behind the legislation is to protect consumers from food-borne illnesses. But will it really? If passed, the misnamed Food Safety and Modernization Act would authorize the FDA to tell farmers how to grow their crops. Federal bureaucrats who likely know little to nothing about farming will set the guidelines on appropriate temperatures, what soil to use, how much water to use and what animals are allowed to be on certain fields. A study by Senator Tom Coburn’s (R-OK) office states “on the whole this bill represents a weighty new regulatory structure on the food industry that will be particularly difficult for small producers and farms to comply with (with little evidence it will make food safer)” Sen. Jon Tester has introduced the “Tester Amendment” which would allegedly prevent these harmful regulations from affecting small family farms. However, Campaign for Liberty says these regulations will still be imposed on whoever the FDA decides. It could even affect your home garden if you sell vegetables or fruits at a local farmers market. President John Tate states: “Don’t fall for their rhetoric about a few provisions that supposedly address concerns of small-scale farmers; the FDA still has all the power it needs to shut down family farms on a whim. In other words, it will be up to bureaucrats to decide whether or not local food production is decimated by federal regulations or shut family farms on a whim. In other words, it will be up to bureaucrats to decide whether or not local food production is decimated by federal regulations or shut down.” Kinda scary to see how quickly Bible prophecy is being fulfilled but it also puts the lie to those who say "there is no God."

I think the people are fed up and I know I am. I pray the grassroots movements such as the tea party will grow by leaps and bound and scare the wits out of the established politicians in this country.
