Food Tyranny Senate Bill S 510

This is it -- it's our last chance to halt S.510, the proposed "Food Tyranny Act" that would hand over new powers to the FDA to regulate and criminalize raw milk, food farming and seed saving.

S 510 is to the U.S. food supply what the Patriot Act is to the Bill of Rights.

Call your senators today before 5:00pm and voice your opinion.

Senator Snowe: begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 202-224-5344 end_of_the_skype_highlighting
Senator Collins: begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 202-224-2523

Share these with your friends so they may join our grassroots opposition to food tyranny by calling our U.S. Senators today, before 5PM Eastern time.

The U.S. Capitol switchboard phone number is 202-224-3121 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 202-224-3121 end_of_the_skype_highlighting. Call that number and ask for the office of each of your Senators. Then voice your opinion to your Senators to oppose S.510.

Every call counts! Senators know that each call represents about 50,000 people. So call them now right now and join our grassroots opposition to this food tyranny bill that would put the FDA in charge of our farms!

(P.S. To all those NaturalNews readers outside the USA, thanks for putting up with all this domestic nonsense here in the USA. We will return to more traditional news coverage as soon as this S 510 saga is concluded...)

Also today: American icon Willie Nelson has been busted for pot possession at an immigration checkpoint in Texas. So now our immigration enforcement officers are being used to incarcerate a 77-year-old Country Western singer who posed a threat to no one?

Read my take on the ludicrousness of the War on Drugs and why the arrest of Willie Nelson may be the last straw:

On the good news side of things, Europe is banning BPA in baby bottles (http://www.naturalnews.com/030558_BPA_baby_bottles.html), and more evidence supports chocolate as a truly healthy food: http://www.naturalnews.com/030554_chocolate_health.html

P.S. Stay tuned to NaturalNews.com for follow-up reporting on the fate of Senate Bill 510. We'll be posting an update Monday evening on the site.
