Correct! Look at it from the eyes of a farmer or rancher--we will no longer have 4th Amendment rights as government agents will be entering what used to be our property, now just a "premise or facility" to take what they wish without a court order. Obama will change the countryside, where those people who cling to their guns and religion live, into a police state.
And the socialists (or whatever they are) MUST do this if they want to have a strategic military advantage over the U.S. whatever their purpose.
Don’t forget, the Soviet Union used food as a control over the people. That country had plenty of capability to feed the world, but the Communists used food to ensure they kept power and people went hungry.
This bill is an unconstitutional power grab. If the 10th amendment movement has any teeth, this bill must be met with the States refusing to allow it to be enforced. Declarations by the Governors of each State must be made and every Sheriff had better be prepared to arrest any federal agent or employee trying to do so.
A mandatory annual fee of $500 for any facility that “holds, processes, or manufactures food,” <<<
Could be any home in the United States.

HR 2749
DAN BOREN VOTED FOR THIS MONSTROSITY which basically takes over the US food supply. He might enjoy hearing your thoughts on this if you see him at any town hall meetings he might host.
Apparently no farm or private residence exemptions. It will go to the senate next.
Question: Ok, does this mean we will not be able to grow our own food?
Thanks for the ping!
As I understand it, that seems to be case. However, I think what is perhaps a hidden issue here is that they probably know that they would not be able to police everyone. This would set up a situation (among the many others they are ramming through) where there are so many laws contrary to common good sense that if the government decided to target a person, that person automatically has broken some kind of obscure law.
It also would/could, imho, set up a situation where snitchers would thrive.

Hello my dear FRiend. Thank you for this ping. As you can tell I’m more often outside these days. Had you not given me a heads up I likely would have completely missed this. I am now looking into it by reading the bill as proposed by the House.
Interesting times, interesting times...
Good point! Incrementalism is and has been quietly at work...but I think the American people are beginning to awaken to it.
God in Heaven is on his throne and, I believe, as his children do awaken, He is interceding. He has shown us over and over again in the Bible how if they (us!) will turn and serve Him, He WILL deliver them (us)! Also, I think I am not the only one asking Him to be mindful of His willingness to spare “the city” for the sake of the ten righteous. We are seeing by the polls the last time I looked,that we are yet a nation with a majority professing belief in God. I’ve been seeing this miracle of the town hall meetings and I think He is overshadowing the process. The government SHALL be on His shoulder!
If it is time for the Lord to put on His boots, so be it...but in the meantime, I believe that we should occupy until He comes, and do our best to be his servants.
The snitchers are in my view, among the “accusers of the brethren” and they shall be cast down according to God’s will and timing. By God’s grace He will spare us from being subjected to the extremes of the snitchers. If I get to feeling fearful about what could be coming, I have taken to saying to myself over and over, “not my will but thine be done, not my will but thine by done, not my will but thine be done!” It seems to help. It’s like Mother Mary’s response to Archangel Gabriel, “Behold, the handmaid of the Lord.”
God bless you and yours! I’m so grateful for this forum and the friends I’ve found here.
Thanks for your reply! Sooooo good to see you!!!
Please read my post 251 to annie okie
There are several things that could potentially start it.
Food.
Energy.
Natl Gun confiscation.
Natl Bank Holidays / “new” currency.
Forced citizen ID microchipping.
Forced citizen mass govt vaccination.
Why did Michelle Bachman (MN) vote for this, she was running around as a conservative?
That, or no food, or no energy, or no medical care (after we get you). All you finances will be taken away. Whole number of ways it can go down.
After Granny is euthanized, she’ll be converted to fertilizer for state agri establishments.
Or soylent green. People gotta eat now.
McCotter again... that’s two strikes against him (voted for the GIVE Act, too). One more and he’s dead to me.
I was giving money to Michelle Bachmann. She lost my financial support with this vote. Unbelievably disappointing.
The GOP is too stupid to beat these monsters. Even the people we all like are dumber than dirt.
