Then they need to vote no and revisit earmarks in January, right?

Also, they have tried that rider trick before and the public caught onto the scam.

People pay a helluva lot more attention now than they used to...the tricks need to be brought out into the open and there will be heavy blowback.

They will wait until we are out Christmas shopping to do the balance of dirty work...hoping that we are not paying attention.

Under S.B. 510’s House counterpart bill, H.R. 2749 (Section 133b, “Authority to Prohibit or Restrict the Movement of Food”), sponsored by Congressman Dingell, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will have the power to prohibit all movement of all food within a geographic area.

. . .

And I think this is the House vote:

. . .

But it still has to go back to the House for reconciliation, right? And can it be stopped there?

I’ve sent this to Rush and Drudge. We need to bombard them with this info. I’ll be calling my senator’s offices this morning. I’ll be damned if ANYONE is going to mess with my vegetable garden. ON MY PROPERTY. Liberty and property are so intertwined - we mustn’t allow them to go any further.

Great!

Moreover, there is no doubt in my mind that Rush’s staff lurks here. Maybe Rush himself, if he has the time.

And there are other hosts who do the same.

We can get them foaming at the mouth about this if we play it right.

BTW....

Never forget that most government employees can barely control their own BM’s let alone “control” our private activities.

There are just too many of us and not enough of them. What they want is the Capability and the Legal Right to do it-—so they can take aim selectively at individuals and groups that they don’t like.

You can see such bias in the Justice Dept.

The trick has to be stalling it for 6 1/2 weeks.

Making a big enough stink might do it.

This is exactly the kind of stealthy crap that has made Congress so hated by the public and cost the Dems 60+ seats.

Time to hit the phones again and let our senators think about such freedom-hating legislation.

Agreed yet I am met with supreme discouragement. One of our two Senators (Rat) resigned and will be replaced by a Republican conservative. The other one does not respond and will probably be trounced in 2012 so is not concerned with the will of the people. What to do? Phone calls and letters had no effect regarding Obamacare and surely will not affect their vote on this.

The problem, as I see it: Everybody says they will resist when the govt actually comes to their doorstep.
Maybe they will resist. Maybe not.
But that’ll be too late.
“Molon labe” sounds real brave and noble, but it’s becoming the battle cry of the complacent. They think the odds are on their side, and the battle will never get around to their doorstep.
Uncle Sam is a dead man walking. If you’re not resisting yet, with all the examples of tyranny to be seen, you’re not ever going to resist.
And you know if you do, the 0bama administration is seriously arguing that the govt should be able to kill you at its sole discretion. Referenced here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2627736/posts

How about the House? There seems to be a House version that passed but there needs to be reconciliation (apparently-—a lot unclear about this.)

If you have a decent rep or even a dirtbag lib, let them hear your mouth.

Can’t hurt.

You could call Orrin Hatch’s office. I think he’s getting nervous about 2012.

Let him know that 2010 was just round one and that you’ll donate time making remote calls and financial resources to his primary opponent should he vote for this bill.

They have already admitted that killing off the old and infirm “would help the economy”. What better way to do that than a famine?

Of course, the GOP will dutifully side with them in the spirit of non partisanship.
