You said it, kara2008. Thanks for this thread and for the handy list (in post #1) of Republican senators who voted Yea for this turkey.

[LucyT]

Senate passes new food police bill: Roll call vote 73-25 (15 R's vote yea)

Does this mean we aren't allowed to grow tomatoes in our own back yard?

[manic4organic]

Hmmmm...looks like my RINO Senators from Texas received our emails, phone calls, etc.

[Cinnamon Girl]

Did you see this? What was Brown’s reasoning for voting yea?

[editor-surveyor]

The usual suspects!
.

[rusty millet]

Chambliss and Isakson were cosponsors of the bill but did not vote for it. What are the strategic reasons for doing this?

[stockpirate]

These are the 15 RINO’s DeMint has mentioned.

Exactly right.

[Siena Dreaming]

The Senate bill must be reconciled with a version that passed the House of Representatives in 2009 before Congress adjourns for the year.

Very doubtful this will happen and the 15 Repub Senators know it.

Crist's RINO butt-boy strikes again.

Kick them out AND go after the retirements these a$$haTS supposedly earned protecting and defending the constitution!

There is a way to get thier attention after all.

Especially the ones who have been there for decades!

Check their campaign donors and where the donors work.

We are so screwed if the new Congress doesn’t do something with this.

Thanks for the post. I’m going to have to read that bill to get informed on what the “food police” means because I’m all for food safety. We don’t have enough IMO. There’s too much astroturfing going on by the politicians and their donors and interests. It is hard to find out the truth.

I’m for safe food first and to me that means oversight of these illegal immigrant hiring factory food processors that keep themselves and their factories draped in total secrecy and call themselves farms.

“Food Inc” is a decent movie if you want some insight. We need country of origin labeling on all food and the food and grocery industry fights that because they know that the free market will sort out their Chinese trash. We need tracking of food origins too so that we can find dangerous contaminated food sources. I’m also against restricting farms from reusing their own seed as Monsanto does. Genetic licensing has gotten out of hand. Much of the research was done by universities on our dime.

I don’t want government telling me what to eat or buy, but I have no problem with them inspecting and demanding that food processors meet safety standards and more.

This vote means nothing.
