Toll-Free number to the Congressional Switchboard (866) 338-1015. This worked last week when I called Corker and Alexander...BTW Lamar Alexander (TN R) is a CO-SPONSOR of the bill so a LOT of pressure needs to be directed at him.
Bob Corker voted NO on cloture, Alexander sustained from voting on his own bill.
I know earmark bans are in this bill, but why saddle us with FOOD CONTROL along with Health control and Finance control to get what should be a stand alone bill...a earmark ban.
Extremely dangerous bill SB510

You might want to ping your weekly gardening thread to this threat.
Smells heavily of ADM and Con-Agra, who both give more to ‘pubbies than dems, so don’t assume your “good conservative” congresscritter will vote against it. Call them and carp.
DemoRATS don’t care about the Constitution...they use it for TP.
You can be sure I will, called last week on the issue too.
Under this new law, US food suppliers would need to meet other countries requirements and standards
Hasn’t NAFTA, WTO, GATT done enough to destroy our sovereignty?
Now the Fed’s want control over my garden !!!
Also let my favorite State Senator who is high up in the State GOP, know how displeased with Sen Lamar Alexander for co-sponsoring this commie junk, and told him someone high up in the state GOP should have a ‘talk’ with Sen Alexander and remind him we voted for CONSERVATIVES not RINOS.
I believe prohibition would have been successfully stuffed up the publics backside in todays environment.
They already control finance and health care. So when they control food they can totally control US!
The silver lining....if this goes through, the hippies, foodies, and locavores turn against the Obamination.

This has got to be satire. Otherwise, are all of our politicians bought and paid for?
This will mean there’ll me no more “farmer’s markets” or “truck farmers”.
Where do I get a permit?
City, county, state, Washington, all of the above?
I understand that it's for the good of the whole and not one person should have more food than any other person has but where does government come into it?
If I have seeds do I have to declare them? (it's just a question, I don't have seeds)...I'm a law abiding soul and all.
seems enough of a reason right there to stomp this one into the ground from whence it came - I'm beginning to understand a little more clearly why the Feds turned the water off to the Central Valley (calif) last year followed by conglomerates buying up the desertified farms.
Seems line the first thing we would have to do is stop the Chem-Agra people from selling only non germinating seeds. How did they ever get away with that one in the first place?
Naturaly RATS and RINOS are all for it.
Think MONSANTO in large quantities.
G Soros just bought hundreds of thousands of shares of Monsanto.
It is his 2nd largest investment—I think only Petrobras- the Brazil oil exploration is larger.
There are hungry people out there that want your produce and government is there to make sure that YOU don't take the law into your own hands and protect your property.
Government is there to help you....at a price.
You should be more appreciative of that.
