Obama’s Plan To Destroy America’s Farms Moving Full Steam Ahead

The goal seems to be nothing short of eradicating American farms and self-sustainability.

Even DEMOCRATS are opposing the Obama Energy Bill. Climate change legislation will be utterly devastating for American farmers. Rep. Leonard Boswell (D-IA) of the House Agriculture Committee says that not only will he not vote for it, but no one else on his committee will support it either. The bill would increase the cost of everything that farmers depend on, such as diesel fuel, gasoline, fertilizers, pesticides, and a host of other things. It would raise taxes on energy by $846 billion over the next ten years. Due to the fact that farming is so energy intensive, one major study shows that it would reduce farm income by $8 billion or 28% over the next four years, by $25 billion (or by 60%) through 2024, and by $50 billion (or by 94%) by 2035 [source: Heritage Foundation study]. Many are shaking their heads in amazement over the proposed impact.

Cap and trade legislation would utterly devastate the agricultural community with stratospheric operating costs, and would just as utterly destroy rural America.

“Employees at New Seasons do not even know about this bill. They are totally in the dark. Pelosi and Waxman have been bought by Monsanto.”

Monsanto.....toss in ADM and stir.

I saw this and I HAD to post. My entire family... mom, husband, uncles, aunts, cousins... we all had the number, we ALL called everyday, multiple times a day during the business hours stated... Not ONE of us ever got through to that number EVER... BUSY BUSY BUSY... Now while I’d like to believe that is because there was an overwhelming amount of calls. It was a little odd that of more than a dozen people over the course of 2 weeks calling daily, couldn’t get through....I think that is because this Administration does NOT care what we want, what we think, or what is best for this country. I was so disappointed. I will be even more disappointed IF the Cap and Trade actually passes because then I will know that nothing we say matters. Everyone I have spoken with, even the people who voted FOR Obama, do not back the Cap and trade. The consensus has been overwhelming. It’s become apparent that Obama and his administration feel they can do WHATEVER they want. That is what happens when a MAN is deified BEFORE he even does ANYTHING to warrant it.
