Do you Grow a Garden? How About Inviting the FEDs Over to Inspect it and require you to File Paperwork? H.R. 875

 
Oppose H.R. 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009

H.R. 875  To establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes.

Sounds like a good needed piece of legislation meant to protect us from food contaminants right?  WRONG.  This piece of legislation will ultimately transfer powers of each state to govern it's local food production to the FED Government and creates another huge Bureaucracy that can even govern us as individuals. 

For example: One of the "definitions" of a food production facility to be governed (included extensive record keeping and governmental inspections, screenings, etc.)  defines a food production facility to  be any........."any farm, ranch, orchard, vineyard, aquaculture facility, or confined animal-feeding operation"

Write Congress and tell them to Oppose this bill.   Our individual states can handle the problems without complicating things worse by involving  the FEDS.
