Prevent the Federalization of our Food and Water Supply
John Birch Society (http://www.jbs.org/)
This summer Congress has been focusing on President Obama's highest priority legislation, health care reform and cap and trade, as well as on the confirmation of Judge Sotomayor in the Senate.
In addition to these high priority issues there are so many potentially dangerous pieces of legislation in Congress that it is difficult, if not impossible, to follow all of them. But while some bills are reported on in great detail, others are often ignored and risk a smooth passage with little-to-no opposition.
Two such bills are H.R. 875 (Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009) and S. 787 (The Clean Water Restoration Act). These two bills combined would greatly increase federal jurisdiction over and regulation of our food and water supply. If passed, these two bills alone would represent one of the largest transitions of state-to-federal power that we have seen in a number of years.
Keep the pressure on Congress and let them know that you strongly oppose any legislation that would increase the federal government's control over two of our most precious, life-sustaining commodities, food and water.
