The only bills I want to see coming from Congress are ones depleting the federal government of power and funds, no more money for those dweebs, no more oversight in any realm of life, no more income taxes, NO FRIGGIN MORE ANYTHING FROM THEM BUT GET OUT OF OUR FACES!!!! TIME TO FRIGGIN SCREAM>>
It's not the Federal Government, it's the Feral Government.
It's up to the people of this country to vote these rogues out of office and get our country back on track.
The elites would love to get control of the food supply as a way of subduing a rebelious population.
My ‘bitter clinger’ cousin Eddie used to eat squirrel but gave it up due to high cholesterol. I guess he’ll be back to hunting the rodent if food production becomes too controlled.
“They used to grow food in Kansas
Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw
I can see the day coming when even your home garden
Is gonna be against the law”
Bob Dylan, Union Sundown, 1983
This was one of the steps Stalin took to gain control over food production and distribution in the old Soviet Union. It resulted in 10’s of million deaths from the ensuing famines and then pogroms resulting from the unrest. These so-called GOP senators should be dragged out and publicly humiliated and denounced by the rest of the GOP.

Orrin Hatch [R-UT]
John Isakson [R-GA]
Just the usual suspects.
Not surprised by our RINOs Chambliss and Isakson. The Agriculture lobby is strong in GA. I’ve heard Chambliss speak in person about Ag in GA. He sounds just like a Dem. You wouldn’t know he has a R after his name if you could listen to him without knowing who he is.
FWIW, melt the phone lines...especially the (R)ino's...

Any of these clowns up for re-election in '12?
Is this one for your list?
0bastard has to be freaking stopped.
If my two GOP Senators from GA are supporting this bill it must contain some candy for the large corporate agricultural interests in the state and not any small individual dirt farmers.
Necessary regulation per Agenda 21.
I know this is a dead horse, but here goes.
Where in the HELL does the Constitution give Congress ANY power to do this?
Is this another cluster(bleep) brought to us by the Commerce Clause, or it this just more of Congress doing whatever the hell they feel like doing?
We obviously didn’t throw enough of them out. Keep tossing.
