They want to make it ALL illegal. What do you think of Senate Bill 510

Signed the petition. Thanks for pointing to it.

Here's another link. I invite you to look over the list of who supports and who opposes this bill:

Too much power for the FDA; they already have too much. I don't trust my wellness to a government agency that has no financial incentive to KEEP me healthy...

There's NO WAY that would pass. So many people have gardens & so the the president!

 

[RioLindoAz]

I wonder what kind of person would write up something like this. Their genes shouldn't be passed on to the next generation.

Castrate them all!





Typo!

 

[Yay Chicks!]

They added an amendment to the bill today that excludes small farmers making under $500,000.

And yes, it would still be a good idea to contact your senators.

Nothing like this is going to pass with the lame duck session. Nancy just has too much on her plate before she she gets demoted.

Let's hope you're right!

I read most of the bill also, when I first heard about it b/c I couldn't believe what I was hearing about it. The problem in truly understanding what it is about is the language of the bill is difficult to understand, it's terms are very broad, and there are so few sites that aren't heavily slanted w/ agendas (either for or against). That being said I too was disturbed by the list of supporters/ and opposers. To me that said a lot more then reading the bill.

Already let my senator know what I thought... still time to contact yours.

Yes! That's a great way to determine what the intent of the bill is! When you see big agriculture and Monsonto on one side and small farmers and health food retailers on the other, that should be a sign that this piece of legislation isn't exactly as innocent as it "sounds".
