Sustainability

News — walterj 7:00 pm

First they came for “organic” and told us we may not use the word to describe our food raised free of herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics and such. If we wanted to continue describing what we had traditionally done we must get government approval, pay their fees and jump through their hoops of paperwork. The regulators chortled in glee and Big Ag took over “Organic”.

Then they came for “naturally raised” and told us we may not use the phrase to describe our livestock raised free of herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones and such. If we wanted to continue describing what we had traditionally done we must get government approval, pay their fees and jump through their hoops of paperwork. The regulators chortled in glee and Big Ag took over “Organic”.

Now they are coming for the word “Sustainable” too. Before you know it the government will have taken over the entire dictionary.

News — walterj 7:10 pm

The US House of Representatives has copped out and hidden S.510 into the budget bill H.R.3082. It now returns to the Senate for a vote. Dishonest is all we can expect from Washington, DC.

They’re Hiding S.510 in Budget

Action Item — walterj 9:25 pm

Promoted from comments of Lee:

HEADS UP!! (This was on breitbart.com) It appears that the democrats in the house do not plan to “blue slip” S.510 in fear that opponents will stall it…

INSTEAD they plan to hide it inside a budget bill that must pass to keep the govt running (as I understand it) and that they are certain no one will want to vote against it, this is dirty pool (suprise?)

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REPS YET AGAIN AND TELL THEM TO OPPOSE PASSING S.510 BY HIDING IT IN A MUST PASS SPENDING BILL!

Lets stop them one more time folks!
