... "Republicans, however, later agreed to pass it by unanimous consent."

[STARWISE]

Jeeeeesh .. probably so.

LONG PAST TIME FOR TERM LIMITS!!

Consider for FReepac goals.

[STARWISE]

I hear ya.

I wonder how long they can debate just how
much more they can screw up our lives.

And they’re achieving their evil goal:

wearing us down

PRAY, PRAY, PRAY

Shoot I wish I kept my farmers market for Oregon guide from last summer.

Not a problem. We've found quite a few that we frequent on a regular basis. Plus our son gets LOTS from a local Mennonite farmer. Freezer and refrigerator space in a motorhome is very limited so we can never buy as much as we'd like!

I just hope they'll be available next summer.

Bump!

Prayers and Hugs!
Tomorrow.

This is just ridiculous!! This bill is a disaster. Wait til the FDA inspector shows up in your back yard to tell you you can’t have a garden unless you do this that and the other thing. They just keep pushing. Sooner or later the American public is just going to explode.

The GOP is here to stop the Dream act and Amnesty for illegals as they have done again and again this decade

McConnell never was one of us, doesn't want to be one of us and never will be one of us. By us, I mean conservatives.
That will be a BIG problem the next 2 years because there's no way "us" will get rid of him.

An earlier version of this bill, the current bill apparently isn't yet available online, banned privately grown food products apparently along the same line of pretzel logic used to justify so many abuses of the commerce clause. So hey, let's look to NY, Paris, and LA to point us to the latest in peasant attire because that's where they're dragging us us. Grow for the State - not your selfish self.

Everybody's going serfing, serfing USA.

[Global2010]

Well it IS the govt inacting a program and we know how long and drawn out they make things, just to spend more $$$.

So hope that leaves you with some encouragement. : )

On a side note with all the silly reality shows on tv it would be nice to see one about Nuking DC (figuretively speaking) and Rebuilding America per the mission statement of FR and the good people here.

/kidding kind of

If they wanted to pass bills that benefited us, they would be REPEALING laws, not making new ones.

....one of them said he had hired a bull to’ Service ‘ all his cows. *************** I feel his pain. I have cows, a garden, chickens and ducks. This bill sucks and so does Mansanto Lobbyists, and BTW I paid big bucks for my bull! Also, let me rant on, since my chickens were "sexed" and 9 out of 10 died because they were genetically manipulated by Monsanto Labs to be female and lay lots of eggs. I despise big biz and gov't. I let it all out tonight.

[dajeeps]

The GOP apparently haven’t been impressed by the political upheaval of the last two years and they are doing/voting for the same things that got them into trouble, like the 2008 Farm Bill. What a load of statist bull crap that was and this is far worse.

Henry A. Kissinger, Rockefeller’s well-compensated, multi-purpose minion and long-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) said: “Control the oil and you can control entire Continents. Control food and you control people.”

the RINOs I can understand (but not condone), but DeMint ... why?
