Make no mistake, this legislation is about destroying rural people, those that cling to their guns and religion, and about the territory they inhabit and control.

On the map that territory is red, not blue.

Want to enjoy a hot dog at your kid's soccer game prepared by parents as a fund raiser..

You're too late on that one. It's already happening in NY.

"Americans are dying because the Food and Drug Administration doesn't have the authority to protect them"
Police has the authority to protect Americans and they are still dying. This country clearly needs more government "authority".

Just WHEN did Americans decide that they had the right to NEVER DIE? So many mind-numbed robots think that if they just follow all the rules, they can avoid the grim reaper!

Last I knew, it was one per. All it's a matter of is how and when.

For this bill specifically?

That’s not possible. They can only use “reconciliation” on bills that have to do with revenues and/or the budget.

This is a regulatory bill.

How in the world could Michele Bachman, Joe Barton and Michael Burgess have voted in favor of this outrageous FDA government takeover of our food supply? Did they even read it?

Many schools no longer have bake sales-the substitute is kids selling the same prepackaged junk the big grocery chains sell.

By the way; The congresswoman who sponsored the bill was Rosa deloro. Her husband is the leading lobbyist for Monsanto.

So this is the Monsanto bill. If it goes bad (which it will because all socialist programs do), we know where to point the finger.

Obomas science Czar claims the population should be controlled through the food supply (Monsanto genetically engineers food ).

Don't eat that government ham and cheese!!!

Is this the bill that bans Gardens. I have a black (no offense to the over sensitive PC crowd) thumb but I would plant a garden if it becomes illegal to do so just to protest the asinine law.

Yay!! a more authoritarian state would be so much safer and secure than having to deal with this outdated concept known as “Freedom” /sarc...

You don't need a garden. Oboma will feed you his government manna.

I have nothing against GMO food, but when you are engineering nature the patents to these foods should be open to the public view. That way we at least see what Monsanto is doing, since Monsanto can keep it secret how do we know if the tinkering they are doing to food is beneficial or not.

We already KNOW Obomas science Cazr believes in using the food supply to medicate the population. His favorite is genteically altered food containing contraceptives (and pro-aborts would fit in quite well).

If gardening is outlawed, the people will be forced to eat government food or starve.

Give Oboma Stalin time. I'm sure he has a Czar somewhere already working on it, because his welfare base wants their "fair share."

(Just sign the back of your paycheck, mail it to Washington, and you'll promptly receive your one a gallon a week gas rationing card.)
