“S.510″ U.S. Senate bill that could criminalize saving seeds and outlaw backyard garden food production. It is being called “the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America.

Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Modernization Act, has been called “the most dangerous bill in the history of the United States of America.” It would grant the U.S. government new authority over the public’s right to grow, trade and transport any foods. This would give Big brother the power to regulate the tomato plants in your backyard. It would grant them the power to arrest and imprison people selling cucumbers at farmer’s markets. It would criminalize the transporting of organic produce if you don’t comply with the authoritarian rules of the federal government.
“It will become the most offensive authority against the cultivation, trade and consumption of food and agricultural products of one’s choice. It will be unconstitutional and contrary to natural law or, if you like, the will of God.” – Dr. Shiv Chopra, Canada Health whistleblower (http://shivchopra.com/?page_id=2)
This tyrannical law puts all food production (yes, even food produced in your own garden) under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. Yep — the very same people running the TSA and its naked body scanner / passenger groping programs.
This law would also give the U.S. government the power to arrest any backyard food producer as a felon (a “smuggler”) for merely growing lettuce and selling it at a local farmer’s market.
It also sells out U.S. sovereignty over our own food supply by ceding to the authority of both the World Trade Organization (WTO) and Codex Alimentarius.
It would criminalize seed saving (http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/20…), turning backyard gardeners who save heirloom seeds into common criminals. This is obviously designed to give corporations like Monsanto a monopoly over seeds.
It would create an unreasonable paperwork burden that would put small food producers out of business, resulting in more power over the food supply shifting to large multinational corporations.

How to protest Senate Bill 510
1) Go to Congress.org and type in your zip code in the box in the upper right hand corner.
2) Click on your Senator’s name, and then on the contact tab for their phone number. You can also call the Capitol Switchboard and ask to be directly connected to your Senator’s office: 202-224-3121.
3) Once connected ask to speak to the legislative staff person responsible for agriculture. If they are unavailable leave a voice mail message. Be sure to include your name and phone number.
Give them this message in support of the “Tester Amendment” which would exempt small farms from S.510:
“I am a constituent of Senator___________. I ask that he/she support the Tester Amendment to the food safety bill. The Tester Amendment will exempt the safest, small, owner-operator farms and food facilities and farmers who direct market their products to consumers, stores or restaurants. Food safety legislation should not create inappropriate and costly regulatory barriers to family farms and the growing healthy food movement in the drive to crack down on corporate bad actors. Please support the Tester Amendment and market opportunities for small and mid-sized family farms, and small food processing facilities.”
You may also wish to explain that you oppose the Food Safety Modernization Act in its entirety, and it is a destructive, freedom-crushing law that will destroy the future of food in America.
Remember, America has already lost control over its money supply to the Federal Reserve (nearly a hundred years ago). America has lost its health due to the medical industry and its profit-from-sickness agenda. Now we may lose our right to grow our own food and save our own seeds if Senate Bill 510 passes.
This is a dangerous, tyrannical law that would thrust the American people into an age of darkness and malnutrition. It would criminalize many of the very people growing our food and turn food production into yet another corporate monopoly.
Please take the time right now to contact your U.S. Senator and voice your strong opposition to this bill.

This article is false. as the S.510 bill is nothing to do with food growing.
S. 510

Before calling people liars, yu should do your homework. You haven´t done it yet, that is why all you have to say is “This article is false”. You obsviously have not read the whole bill, but the summary or a late version. It’s on the bill. Read the complete version.
You guys probably don’t even know the half of it that is about to hit. There are many bills one will argue Bush did this or Bush did that, past President’s ext, but the truth is Obama is the one who has put them into action such as this.
Rainwater is illegal to collect Colorado currently enforces it.
I had a really bad feeling When George W. Bush and the Republicans wanted to start Homeland Security. It is turnning out too be just what I thought it could be, something the Government will use too take away more and more of our freedomes. Too totally stop things like this from Happenine We need too demand that The Department of Homeland Security is Disolved.
Republican’s that I know are always complaining how the Democrats want too take away our freedom, but The Republicans seem to create the Departments that take more and more of our freedoms everytime they get domination in Washington also. It seems the best thing too do is eliminate all political parties and have everyone campaign as an independent and set them in the House and Senate in Alphabetical Order.
I heard about this bill a few years ago, it is also in the FEMA bill that Jimmy Carter passed when he was in office, that’s how long this has been waiting to surface. It is a ridiculous bill and please email or call your senator and tell him you don’t want senate bill 510. I don’t know why they feel they can get away with this, no wonder they want to take away our guns. I don’t blame them. This is just a communist takeover and who better to sign this bill than Jimmy Carter, people feed their families with food they grow in the garden they make extra money by selling their veggies in farmers markets, there has never been any complaints. Monsanto is sickening Americans as it is, especially children, now they don’t want us to have a safety net. Does this apply to the organic food industry? I am surprised no one has rallied to get genetically engineered (Monsantos) food off the market.Its time we made a stand once and for all against this kind of tyranny, this is just another form of population control, half of us will sicken and die from this food bill.I for one will fight against this with all my might, no one can tell us what to eat, what goes into our own bodies, especially not the Government or Monsanto. Try and find out who originally drew up this bill and you will see who is running this country into the ground.
then it will mean all out war against who ever should pass this and they should be targeted, this is a crime against all of the american people and this country as a whole the revolutaion will be started by this and agents enforcing it will be killed mark my words…..
Obama already signed an executive order. Here is one of th earicles on this bill I got righ there and its very cler and is showing the same laws tha ti have read in several other articles on this bill. I don’t know why Stephen can’t accept this. If he can prove this is something other than what is shown here, please do, same with the drunk driving clause, that has nothing to do with this bill, maybe you have the bill number wrong. I signed a petition to do away with this bill and sent it to my Senators, it was all about food and the new laws that go with it, Stephen will just have to face it. It is a horrible bill, I wish it was a mistake, but its not.
