| As we are distracted with Cap & Trade, Nuclear reduction with Russia, Israel, West Bank, Gaza Strip, North Korea, Iran, Honduras, Gov. Palin, and a whole raft of major concerns, the Obama administration is pushing hard to destroy agricultural freedom, control food production and even be able to tell you the agricultural practices you can use for growing food - EVEN YOUR GARDEN! 'I have to make you safe!' is the cover - unlimited, unannounced, unwarranted searches - huge penalties for not keeping detailed records or following acceptable practices are the actual legislation provisions!!! I encourage everyone to not only call your Congressman, but do all you can to encourage others to do the same. The following will give you background and other information. Notice Obama gave his 'expectations' two days ago - he is really pushing for this control over the nation! Oh, and this bill totally ignores any dangers from imported Chinese, Mexican, etc. foods... No controls proposed on imports - just destroy small farms, gardens, farmers markets, CSA's - Ultra controlled BIG agribusiness that THEY control is the goal! Call, Write, Email - then do it again!
