(NaturalNews) The infamous S.510 "fake food safety bill" was passed by the US Senate last night in a sneaky, last minute voice vote. All Senators voted for it, Republicans and Democrats alike. Not a single U.S. Senator -- not even Coburn -- objected to its passage.
With this vote, the US Senate now sends the bill back to the House of Representatives where it is due for a final vote as HR 2751that would then send the bill to the White House for a presidential signature. This House vote could take place as early as tomorrow (Tuesday).
A betrayal of food freedom
This last-minute sneak vote ofunanimous consentis widely considered a betrayal of food freedom by the few Republicans who had opposed this bill. TheHill.com posted their report on this unexpected turn of events late last night (http://thehill.com/blogs/healthwatc...) and has since been overrun by comments from steaming mad members of the public who feel utterly betrayed by their Senators.
The Natural Solutions Foundation posted a blog entitled, "Betrayed by the GOP" which blasts Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike for approving this bureaucratic monster that will grow the size and power of the FDA (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=7824).
The Farm-To-Consumer Legal Defense Fund also posted an urgent action alert (http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/aa/aa...) urging people to call their representatives in Washington and oppose HR 2751.
Take action now to block this bill in the House
The U.S. House of Representatives meets Tuesday, which means we have 24 hours (or less) to fight back with an avalanche of phone calls to stop this bad, freedom-destroying bill from becoming law. The new bill name isHR 2751(notice how they keep changing this around to confuse us?).
Join the millions of people who actively oppose this bill by calling your representatives in Washingtonand urging them to oppose passage of the Food Safety Modernization Act. If you don't already know the phone number of your representatives in the House, the capitol switchboard number is(202) 224-3121. Call that and they will connect you to your members of Congress.
