LATE BREAKING NEWS: OMNIBUS WITH FOOD CONTROL DONE FOR!
If We continue to Push Back!

www.HealthFreedomUSA.org –
The various attempts by Big AgraBiz and DC Politicians to force the fake “food safety” bill, actually the food control bill, through the Congress is failing because hundreds of thousands of messges are flooding the “lame-duck” Congress from citizens demanding: Don’t Adopt Any Bill that Includes S.510!
The counterpoint rumor is that Sen. Harry Reid is desperate to add S.510 into one of several more bills that may reach the floor of the Senate before adjourning for the Holidays…
New Action Item: Support Simple C.R.

Lame Duck Congress
From the Senate Calendar: “Thursday, Dec 16, 2010 – The Senate convened at 9:30 a.m. and adjourned at 8:36 p.m. No record votes were taken.”
From Breitbart: “Democrats controlling the Senate have abandoned a 1,924-page catchall spending measure that’s laced with homestate pet projects known as earmarks and that would have provided another $158 billion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan”
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9K5BA5O0&show_article=1
“Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) touts his one-page continuing resolution that would “simply continue the government through February 18th.”
From RealClearPolitics: “I would hope that it would make sense on a bipartisan basis, this one-page continuing resolution on Feb 18th as an alternative to this 2,000-page monstrosity that spends a half a billion dollars a page,” McConnell said on the Senate floor.”

Congratulations Mouse Warriors!
This message from Health Freedom USA’s President, Gen. Stubblebine: “The smell of victory is in the air… we must encourage the faint-of-heart Senators to persevere. And get ready to blast ‘em if they turn-tail to run! By the end of any battle, both sides are exhausted, but the side that perseveres just a little longer… wins! That is where we are now, and that is why massive Push Back is more important now than before! We are flooding the Congress with a clear message: No New Programs in the Continuing Resolution; Strip S.510 out of any funding bill! Keep at it! Victory is within our reach. Keep pressing forward while you recruit your contacts to act with you now!”

In addition to the Continuing Resolution, sent to the Senate after being passed by the House (HR. 3082, which had the fake “food safety” bill S.510 hidden in it) the Senate “leadership” is considering an omnibus budget bill, crabbing together all of the 12 sectional budget bills Congress failed to pass, and putting S.510’s new food-control bureaucracy into the witches’ brew for good measure!
Opposition to the Omnibus Bill is running about 1,500 people an hour through the Health Freedom USA educate-decision-makers, easy to use, email system; just put in your zip code and a bit more info, and your emails are on their way to your Senators and the White House. Various patriot and civic groups are urging their supporters to express opposition, so the total PUSH BACK is even stronger.
The Continuing Resolution or Omnibus Bill can only pass over the minority’s objection if the majority forces the issue through cloture (limiting debate). Since the majority party lost its 60 vote super-majority, needed to invoke cloture, the only way either bill will pass is if certain faint-of-heart members of the minority party support it! It took several Senators — including Massachusetts’ new Sen. Scott Brown who was elected with Tea Party support — to pass S.510 the first time in the Senate. If these Senators hold firm, this will not happen again! If they side with the majority party, we expect the voters will remember. And even six years from now Sen. Brown will be held to the promises he ignored!

Action Item Updated:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303
For those of you who didn’t follow Wednesday’s events on Twitter or C-Span, the House lame-duck “leadership” pushed the “Food Safety” Bill, formerly known as S.510 into the “Continuing Resolution” Funding Bill to keep the Federal Govt running for another year, passing this Hot Potato to Senate again.
It is apparent how important this fake “food safety” bill is to The Powers That Be — it is very unusual to attach a major regulatory initiative to the Continuing Resolution.
The House vote appears to have been 212 to 206, with no Republicans voting for the bill. The next step is to continue inundating the Senate with voter outrage.
1. It is bad legislative practice to combine a controversial regulatory bill with the Continuing Resolution needed to fund govt activities.
2. It is unprincipled to push this bill against the clear will of the voters that the Federal govt is too big and must stop over-regulating.
3. A clean Continuing Resolution is needed so that Congress can decide to continue funding at a certain level without muddying the process with extraneous matters.
4. The vote was nearly a pure partisan vote, with no Republicans in favor of this maneuver, and only a few Democrats standing against the lame-duck “leadership.” We will remember!
5. The People will keep a close eye on all GOP Senators and expect them to act from principle and not add this budget-busting bill, with its 4,000 new FDA agents to harass local food production and distribution.
We were “on the Hill” today to let our friends in Congress know that “CAM” health care practices (what we prefer to all “Complementary and Advanced Modalities”) need to have a voice in the debate over health care and to re-enforce our opposition to S.510, the fake food safety bill.
We agree with Congressman Paul (who we also saw today) that it is bad legislative process to tack a a very controversial regulatory bill to the Continuing Resolution needed to fund govt activities.
This bill will impact dietary supplements. That is clear from the way the FDA used section 301(11) of the 2007 FDA “enabling act” to outlaw a form of Vitamin B-6, although Congress put a clause in that bill “exempting” DSHEA products.
FDA will use any new food authority to attack supplements and natural remedies, just as it used its enhanced powers under the 2007 FDA “enabling act” to ban the interstate sale of a form of Vitamin B-6.
Please help us stop S.510 as a tack-on to HR 3082.

ACT NOW! TELL THE HOUSE TO KILL S. 510, THE FOOD FASCISM BILL:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5270
“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by intermittent Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.” Attribution: Wendell Phillips, speech in Boston, Massachusetts, January 28, 1852.—Speeches Before the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, p. 13 (1853) – http://www.bartleby.com/73/1073.html
Yes, “Eternal vigilance… [and] intermittent Agitation…” are needed to keep the fake “food safety” bill S.510 and its ugly companions, the criminalization-of-food-speech S.3767 and the discredited dietary supplement “safety” bill S.3002 at bay…
A desperate Senate lame-duck majority sees its last chances to impose Food Fascism on America dwindling fast. The authors of this horror, primarily Reid and Harkin, can be expected to try any maneuver in their parliamentary-bag-of-tricks to sneak S.510 (and perhaps the other bad bills) through Congress during the waning hours of the session… and they have about two weeks to do so!
Says one commentator: “Senate sponsor of “the most dangerous legislation in history” – S 510 – Sen. Tom Harkin (IA) insists they’ll find a way to get this FDA food control package through – despite the fact that the House has pointed out its unconstitutionality – (Due to King Harry’s Senate passing a law full of new taxes) a job reserved by the U.S. Constitution for the House of Representatives only.”
See: http://www.politico.com/blogs/glennthrush/1210/Harkin_Nothing_will_kill_food_safety_bill.html
Says Harkin: “nothing is going to kill this bill.”
Let’s show him how wrong he is: Please continue to use the Action Item below to bombard the House (which is now the best hope to Kill the Bill) — Just Vote NO!

The US Senate Voted to End Food Freedom Today…
Tragically, the Senate of the United States served their Corporate masters rather than either you, truth, sanity, freedom or sworn duty.
Here, these decision makers said, “Eat this rotten phud*, the bread of sorrow, sickness and slavery, while we eat carrion, as we dine on the dead body of YOUR right to decide what kind of food you will be able to eat, or grow locally…”
Of course, the Natural Solutions Foundation and you, our allies and associates, are not done or defeated. We are already bombarding the House to defeat this bill… up to a hundred people a minute! Whether the hard-liners defeat it because it is too soft on clean food producers, or whether the libertarians defeat it because it restricts what should not be restricted and makes a monstrous agency, the FDA, even more bloated and monstrous, or whether the moderates defeat it because they are aware that not only does it not fix the problem, it must go down under the weight of its own evil absurdity. The transpartisan gathering of freedom lovers, including gardeners, farmers, ranchers, health and food freedom advocates, opponents of big govt, and all the others, that have come together on this issue will continue to work for the restoration of our food freedom. This has just begun!
Some “Health Freedom” groups have “caved in” and are trying to spin you that the bill as passed by the Senate is not so bad, better, really, than it might have been, so everything is OK. They want to “take credit” for the bill being only as bad as it is…
NONSENSE! The bill is a health disaster, a freedom disaster, a small and independent farmer/rancher/gardener disaster and a constitutional disaster. And the Natural Solutions Foundation will continue to fight it through defunding, repeal, legal measures, both civil and criminal, and through continuing to mobilize legitimate dissent and healthful options. We can, of course, only do that because you are with us. It is that simple. We are a team and we are working together for health and freedom.
The right to select clean food is part of that freedom. The right to choose what happens to your body is part of that freedom and the right to direct the attention of our elected legislators to those rights is also part of that freedom.
We do not know how many emails reached Congress. We know that close to 1.5 million reached Congress and the White House, etc.) through our organization alone. Once farm and freedom and food and consumer organizations woke up and started following our lead (we are used to the fact that it takes them a while to wake up on each issue), there is no way to tell how many more emails reached Congress, the White House and other decision makers.
You could see the Senators sweating as they sought to do their Big AgBiz masters’ bidding. It was an ugly sight. So good to know so many will be retired by 2012. For a list of the US Senate Hall of Shame Food Terrorists, see below. And never forget!
Strange Bedfellows!

At Natural Solutions, we’re continuing to build momentum for a grassroots, citizen-led push for repeal. In the coming months we’re going to be developing a range of tools for all Americans to use to make this movement as big and as meaningful as it needs to be. We’ll soon have an interactive map that includes contact information for each U.S. Senator, and we’re also developing a citizen’s guide to repeal, which will be a handbook describing how people can make a difference in this fight for repeal. In that context we bring you an interesting letter from American Solutions:
———–
It’s beginning. What will likely be at least a two year effort to repeal ObamaCare started this week.
On Tuesday, Democratic Senator Max Baucus of Montana introduced legislation in the Senate to repeal part of ObamaCare. He was joined by four other Democrats (and Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts) in moving to repeal a requirement in the law that forces businesses to file paperwork for business transactions with a vendor or supplier if they amount to more than $600 a year, more commonly referred to as the “1099 provision.”
Senator Baucus, a Democrat who actually helped negotiate passage of ObamaCare, cited the destructive impact that the law was having on job creation, arguing that “businesses need to focus their efforts on growing and creating good-paying jobs – not filing paperwork.”
We at American Solutions couldn’t agree more. But this is only the beginning of achieving what Americans want: full repeal of ObamaCare.
Also this week, Senators Scott Brown (R-MA) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) introduced legislation to allow states to opt out of the individual mandate in ObamaCare. This comes on the heels of multiple lawsuits challenging the mandate as unconstitutional, as well as passage of a recent ballot measure in Missouri where over 70% of Missourians voted against their state complying with such a requirement. It also comes just days after the Congressional Budget Office found that the average family policy will cost about $2,000 more under ObamaCare than if the government had done nothing.
Ironically, even the White House is now admitting that President Obama’s reordering of the healthcare system will raise costs and reduce the availability of affordable health care.
Last week the Department of Health and Human Services released a list of over 100 companies that are receiving waivers from the burdensome requirements of ObamaCare, citing factors like “whether or not a premium increase is large or if a significant number of enrollees would lose access to their current plan.”
Translation : The White House now has to exempt companies from the new health care law because President Obama’s repeated promises are being broken before our eyes, as ObamaCare will cause premiums to skyrocket and force people to lose their current coverage.
Adding insult to injury is that many of these waiver recipients are actually unions and other labor groups who lobbied strongly for Congress to impose ObamaCare on the rest of us and who helped fund President Obama’s election.
The bottom line is that ObamaCare is so destructive that even Democrats in Congress are trying to repeal parts of it while the Obama White House is granting exemptions left and right to shield its political allies from suffering what it promised all of us would never have to suffer: rate hikes and lost coverage.
At American Solutions, we’re continuing to build momentum for a grassroots, citizen-led push for repeal. In the coming months we’re going to be developing a range of tools for all Americans to use to make this movement as big and as meaningful as it needs to be. We’ll soon have an interactive map that includes contact information for each U.S. Senator, and we’re also developing a citizen’s guide to repeal, which will be a handbook describing how people can make a difference in this fight for repeal.
As always, thanks for everything you do, and stay tuned for more updates from me and American Solutions about ways we can work together to repeal ObamaCare.
