I have known about this for quite awhile and have been getting the word out to those around me...along with the “voluntary” registration of farms (including hobby farms) so that the government knows what you raise as far as livestock goes. My plans will remain the same...the alternative is to just stop and give up...not an option.
I could be wrong but from my way of thinking, if we have an economic meltdown there is a good chance that the police are going to be busier in the cities trying to maintain order that they will not have the time to come way out by me to check on my bean plants. There is even a good chance that the police will know longer have jobs if the economic meltdown is severe enough...who then will enforce this law? So far we have held off passage of this bill...hopefully we can continue. If it does pass, think about the great pictures the news casters could get of masked officers destroying grandma’s garden because she was not authorized to grow peas...stop the home gardens but not the drug growers...it will just push this country closer to a civil war. I hope that this does not happen.
So your better option would be?
HR 875 passed. Now there are two bills poised to pass in the Senate. Do your own research on supporters of this legislation. There are 8 RINOs supporting the bill as cosponsors.
Therefore -- absent a full blown miracle -- home gardens will be illegal by January 1, 2011. Also all vitamins, organic food and food supplements will outlawed by these Senate Bills. By this time next year hundreds if thousands of Americans will be out of work due to this VERY BAD legislation.
Monsanto will get richer. Soros will get richer. Small farms will be declared illegal businesses. And perhaps a million more will be out of work. Then over the next ten years our population may be slowly starving from malnutrition.
In my view, the Members of Congress and the Senate who vote for this legislation are nothing but traitors. They sold out America for campaign cash. They deserve to be tried for treason and locked away for 50 years.
An indoor hydroponic garden can produce a huge amount of food as long as you have energy for the lights. It would have the advantage of being hidden away from prying eyes.
