SENATE REPUBLICANS JOIN DEMOCRATS TO PASS FOOD “SAFETY” BILL


By Sarah Foster
December 20, 2010
NewsWithViews.com

The Democrats are at it again, this time under the cover of Sunday Night.

The infamous food “safety” bill that health freedom activists and their allies assumed was out for the session, has come blazing back to life from its near-death state late Sunday, thanks to a sell-out by Senate Republicans.

That’s right. S. 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act was stuck into a shell bill and passed unanimously just before the Senate adjourned for the day.

As reported by the Washington Post: “After a weekend of negotiations, tense strategy sessions and several premature predictions about the bill's demise, [newly re-elected and confident] Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid, D-Nev., reached a deal with Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., that the GOP would not filibuster. [added]

“Without notice and in a matter of minutes Sunday evening, the Senate approved the bill by unanimous consent, sending it to the House, where passage is expected. President Obama has said he would sign the legislation, which would give the government far-reaching authority to set and enforce safety standards for farmers and food processors.”

"This reaffirmed my faith in democracy," said Jean Halloran, director of food policy initiatives at Consumers Union – one of several non-profit groups that originated and spear-headed the legislation. "We were getting ready for a last-ditch effort . . . and they just went ahead and passed it, like they should have.”

And it wasn’t as if this was done without their being aware. As reported by Food Safety News, the Senate action came as a surprise – particularly because no Republican objected to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's request for his colleagues to pass the food safety bill by unanimous consent.

“No one objected, not even Republican Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn,” the newsletter observed.

Not surprisingly, Harry Reid, D-Nev., was overjoyed.

"Tonight we unanimously passed a measure to improve on our current food safety system by giving the FDA the resources it needs to keep up with advances in food production and marketing, without unduly burdening farmers and food producers," Reid said in a statement.

Let’s stop for a minute to recap. As NewsWithViews.com reported, the Senate passed the controversial Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510) in late November, but it ran into a constitutional roadblock in the House when someone noticed it contained a revenue-raising provision – a constitutional “no-no” since revenue-raising provisions must originate in the House. This has been dismissed by the media as a mere technicality or “House rule,” but it’s a constitutional matter of no small import. It basically meant the House could not approve the bill as written.

Had the senators – all of whom swear to uphold the Constitution -- ever bothered to read the document and familiarized themselves with its contents, the problem would not have arisen.

But they didn’t, or hadn’t , and suddenly the bill was in limbo on the House side. What to do? Easy. The bill was simply attached to the Continuing Resolution – approved -- and the combo sent over to the Senate, where the entire package was attached to a humongous appropriations bill.

For reasons not fully explained, but perhaps to move on to the next issue – like the DREAM Act or the START Treaty -- Sen. Harry Reid decided to kill the spending bill, and that took out the Continuing Resolution as well as the Food Safety bill.



So that’s where it’s been. You might say it was comatose. Its opponents relaxed their guard assuming it was dead. A Big Mistake.

OK – Mistakes happen. What isn’t easy to explain is the GOP sell-out, and there’s just no other way to describe it. Where was Sen. Coburn? Sen. Jim DeMint? What was going on there. What deals were cut? What promises were made.


I hope that Senate Republicans have some answers tomorrow. Meanwhile, I can’t help but wonder why we worked so hard to keep these guys and gals in D.C. and get new ones elected.

Over the past two years media commentators and reporters have wondered about the Tea Partiers' apparent lack of trust in government and why they denounce Republicans as often as they do Democrats.

Sunday’s performance on the Senate floor is your answer.

This petition needs one million signatures.
It begins:

Targeting: The President of the United States, The U.S. Senate, and The U.S. House of Representatives
Started by: Leslie Goldman


To leave the Fate of the Future of Real Food Safety to the decision making capacity of 100 men and women U.S. Senators, 435 House members and Food Safety Policy Makers who may never have shopped their local Farmers' Market or delighted in the taste of butter from contented cows would be an error in judgement. To imagine that Washington legislators, who may never have delighted in leafy greens fresh picked that morning, contamination free, are suited to make the call on what we who sing "America The Beautiful" will eat tomorrow is faulty logic. Food is ours. All of ours. It is time to Chew on Food Safety. A National Conversation has begun. Let all of us, GE Lovers, Organic food Lovers, Conventional Food Growers, sit down and enter into an honest and honoring Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food.

Washington can not believe its ears!!!
Sounds deafen Lobbyists who had spent billions and billions
imagining they could buy stables of men and women
they thought that they had voted into office.
This can never be the case in America the Beautiful!
Our legislators--all of them--are well intended
and know truly in their hearts
America The Beautiful.

The sight is amazing!
Our Honored President is inspired
by fresh and local organic foods that Our First Lady
serves him from the White House
organic garden. He declares to the Nation
he is a Beet Keeper in this
the Enchanted Garden Era.
1000 years of peace start now.
Nations around the world honor
our president who was given
a nobel peace prize.

Birds Twitter!
Sustainability again rules the land.
It is one beet. Many Pulses
evermore.

Soldiers come home.
We honor our returning veterans
and send them back to school
to relearn how to grow food in
their own backyards.
A new middle class in America
is reborn. Children receive all the
plant based education they need,
and exude virtue that inspires
mothers, dads,
grandma and grandpa.
Young folks adopt elders.
A happy day returns as
farmers wake up
as Senators and all elected
say, "Happiness is organic."

The later verses
of "America the beautiful" sing out
throughout the Land:

*O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain...

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
...beyond the years
...alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

I am calling forth your support for 1 million more small gardeners and micro-farmers free from any kind of over regulation to ensure Real Food Safety and for you to personally
declare your alignment with the lyrics
of "America The Beautiful!"

I ask you as my elected representative to read very closely this poem
Chewing on Food Safety:
A National Conversation is Needed.

I ask to sign this declaration:

*O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain...

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain

America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,

I oppose including the fake "food safety" (actually "food control") bill, S.510/HR.2751 or any of its language in any Bill before Congress, this year.

"No one's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session." SO FINISH YOUR BUSINESS AND GO HOME!

I want the new Congress to find ways and means to protect our local and natural food production and distribution, as well as our natural health remedies, from Federal FDA control.

Divest the FDA of any authority over our food and supplements!

Health and Food Freedom for food safety is an important issue to me, and to many millions of Americans, and I will remember your votes!
