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.

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.
does this mean i will be prohibited from growing a couple of tomato plants for my own consumption?
Words I can use in public fail me.
How much is “hysterical hype” and how much is correct concerning noncommercial growers, i.e. home gardeners, cooperative gardens, communes, community gardens, etc.?
What about seed sales from small sellers, especially over the Internet?
