I have had it! Nullification is the answer. I am planting my garden no matter what some bureaucrat says.

Now I remember why I gave up on politics. The people on our side aren’t really on our side.

I am going to plant a garden and grow my food just to be contrary! I absolutely hate government telling me what I can’t do. They are making criminals of us all.

The stupid public is also joke especially those who watch TV because TV controls the masses and ALL of TV supports hussein. Americans traded liberty for a clicker. People here joke about Europeans rioting - at least they do something.

I do something!

I watch gardening shows!

Oh, and Cops.

And Family Guy.

It does not matter. You pay a cable or Sat TV bill - the money gets split among CNN, Fox, Disney, GE (NBC), Bloomberg, CBS (Viacom). Keep watching TV - you keep supporting Obama and Islam (see Saudi investors and deals with ALL 6 TV networks).

Maybe wake up because you lost your country and you will lose the web Dec 22.

This is a very significant vote.

The corporate sponsors of the food bill now control all 100 members of the US Senate. Unanimous means all of them, including Jim DeMint.

Talk about needing to elect more conservatives ignores the apparent reality that representative government has almost totally broken down in the USA. The Senate now appears to primarily represent the interests of multinational corporations, not the states or citizens of the USA.

I thought so, but do you think there could be constraints on passing a law like that? It seems fair to me. It would apply to both sides.

As usual, even Boehner’s DC office is on voicemail.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr .. these people!

I called one of his OH offices and talked to a
very passive, unconcerned and completely
disinterested staffer .. could’ve cared less.
Wanted to know which pubbies voted for this,
so I’ll call him back with the list.

***Can someone direct me to the pubbies who colluded
on this ?

Told him millions voted to get the lib stranglehold
off Congress, and we want them TO FIGHT FOR US,
FOR FREEDOM .. GET THE GOVT OUT OF OUR
LIVES .. and this happens again in a sneaky way
with pubbies voting yes? And we’re outraged.
Where are our leaders?

Please call his office ..

Rep. John Boehner
Butler County Office
West Chester, OH 45069
(513) 779-5400
(513) 779-5315 fax

It was unanimous consent so we’ll never know. All we know is they all caved, however they felt about it originally.

This is hideous! I don’t know what would have to be done to make lame duck sessions of congress unconstitutional, but we are going to be forced to live with the consequences of the 111th’s departing shots for a very long time. They are exacting their revenge towards a large swath of American voters who recognize government tyranny, and are finally active in their efforts to put an end to it.

After 20% of the GOP caucus voted to homosexualize the military, I threw in the towel. I’m no longer a member of that party.

WTF? Whyt is all this garbage passing?

Because the Gelding Old Party just quit fighting. Just like they will on the START vote.

Thanks. I think I read it has to go back to the
House for completion. Is that true?

The House last night said they had a scheduled
session today at 12:30.

Now, it’s been changed to say no schedule for today,
and tomorrow the session begins at 10:00 am.

Doofi.

However, lately our only grocery store has been getting theirs in frozen. FROZEN! And it tastes like it’s been frozen for quite some time. Seriously, can they be that stupid?

As a youth I worked in groceries. If we had a large quantity of bread that was about to reach its expiration date, we froze it to avoid the loss. Maybe that's what your grocer is doing.

How is a “voice vote” constitutional? Isn’t everything they do supposed to be in the Congressional Record?

How many FReepers are going to comment during the public comment period of this bill, I wonder.

For those of us with more experience with gardening than with politics, how exactly does one go about doing that? Is there a phone number, an address to send letters to? Or is it just "call your congresscritter and leave a message"?

First gather people of like mind, leave politics out of it. Find people of all parties, use the words and emotions of our founders, send emissaries to the “foreign govt” occupying our lands. Ask, cajole and beg for relief, plan for the worst case scenario at the same time. Next, demand relief, grab control of a major party. Third, abrogate all treaties with any and all parties. Reconstitute the govt under the original Constitution, with the first ten amendments. Define it so that there is no possible way to have slaves, or females not having the exact same rights as all. I can see no other need for any amendments at this time. Any or all of the above is needed, until then we are in “occupied America”. God Bless this land, and the patriots living in it.
