HR2749 is set on the House Suspension Calendar for a vote Tuesday or Wednesday of this week— WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE BILL MAY BE MODIFIED BUT THE NEW LANGUAGE HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED! A bill considered on the suspension calendar means no amendments are allowed and only 40 minutes of debate is permitted equally divided between the opponents and proponents of the bill.
A bill of this scale needs to be carefully and extensively debated and open for amendments! The implications from such an expansive bill could be detrimental to consumers’ access to healthy foods and to the prosperity of small business owners.
Since we have not seen the revised bill, we only know what the bill originally looked like—which wasn’t good. Our primary concerns remain:
(1) establishing an annual $500 user fee that subsidizes giant food processors at the expense of small and family-owned businesses which is simply unfair;
(2) lumping small farms and processors into the same category as large agribusiness operations, and creating complicated regulations without special rules for small businesses;
(3) allowing the FDA to directly regulate farming practices—be it a large commercial farm or a small organic operation; and
(4) increasing the FDA’s authority dramatically with no corresponding increase in oversight of the agency such as unlimited access to any and all records—without cause—and the ability to impose substantial criminal and civil fines—without a showing of harm—for administrative violations.
How can a Representative thoroughly review over 100 pages and have an informed vote with only 40 minutes of debate?
Please telephone and/or email your Representatives to voice your concerns—let her/him know that this bill needs a thorough review and should be open for amendments!
Thank you for taking the time!

CALL WHO YOU NEED TO CALL >>>>>DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO….
Thanks to Kyndal May… of Confident Birthing for sharing this Video with me..
I think that it is absolutely disgraceful…
The FDA can go after a family biz like Wilderness Family Naturals and put them through hell… over their affiliate marketing practices…
while at the same time protecting BEAST corporations… that are poisoning us.
My kids say that FDA means Federal (Government) Destroying Americans OR The Food DRUG Administrators…
I think I have smart kids!
Take a few minutes and watch this video…..
YOU CAN NOTdepend on the press in this country to give you unbiased accurate information on ANYTHING
>>>> from politics to the milk you put on your cereal!
WE MUST stop being consumer sheeple….. wanting our government agencies to protect us….
We need to WAKE UP and be responsible for OUR FOOD supply!
We all have to eat. It would nice to know that if it’s being sold that it’s safe…but is just the case.
Take of yourself …Take care of your KIDS….
VOTE with your spending…
Quit giving life to this BEAST corporation….MONSANTO!
YOU might as well be supporting a drug dealer…or serial killer…(death by poisoning )
I have to wonder HOW MUCH of the CANCER and other illnesses we see in today’s children are the result if this wicked corporation..
If you or I buy their products WE are just as much to blame…
If the primary purpose of Americans in the global scheme of things is to simply buy stuff….could we at least do it conscientiously!
In the VERY near future…I’ll post a list of Monsanto’s companies and products so you can avoid them like the plague that they are… For starters besides milk treated with rBGH, there is ROUND UP, Nutra Sweet or aspartame in any form and GMO foods..
