Thanks. This bill was the original bill that was generated in the House. It was then HB 2751. Not all that bad.
It did not become heinous until the Senate decided to go in and amend the original bill. It then became S 510. A bad one.
This is when the bad stuff was added and voted on in late 2010.

The jackasses in the Senate just used the original innocuous bill to attach all their overreach onto. Dick Durbin was the sponsor.
indylindy,
“Not all that bad.”
The bill was, and is “all that bad”. The bill grants the use of carte blanche authority to the federal government in overseeing, regulating, as well as penalizing and collecting funds in ALL forms and areas of food production and distribution in the United States. I read both HR 2751 (not HB) 2751 as well as H.R. 2749 and S510. Without exception, these legislative measures allow the federal government to overstep their authority in regulating food production at all levels in the United States.
Regardless how you slice it, indylindy, Michele Bachmann voted in favor of H.R. 2749, which passed in the House, thus paving the way for further legislation and implementation of said policy. Bachmann is no dummy. She knew what she was voting on.
You accused me of using “smear” tactics. As you can see, I was not motivated by a desire to attack Bachmann on a personal level. According to my Conservative principles, Michele Bachmann supported a bill that is so anti-Conservative that for me to dismiss it or undermine the seriousness of her decision would not only be a contradiction, but irresponsible of me as a Conservative American.
