Absolutely STOOPID!!!..........from Rico

Never highly renowned as a bastion of deep-thinking, the Congress of the USA has plumbed new depths of incandescent stupidity!

S.510, the so-called Food Safety & Modernization Act* just foisted upon us by a lame-duck Democratic Congress (and six RINO's) by a 73-to-25 vote "fixes" a non-problem....the deaths of 9 people over two years (or, 4.5 per year) giving you 'odds' of 1 in 73 million of being YOU, and saving us from 350/year 'sickened' resulting in odds of 1 in 943,000 annually.
- Putting it in perspective, our odds of being killed in an automotive accident are 1 in 7,800 annually.

Impressive bit of work you collection of kollectivist numbnuts!!!
- This is right up there with TSA and Health Care Reform!

*Others will better expound on this Act making growing your own food, sharing your own food with neighbors, etc. criminal behavior under Federal law. The Kulaks must be crushed to save the proletariat!

There's nothing about this farce of a Bill that doesn't smack of Big-Agri wanting total control of our food supply.
With any luck we'll get a reprieve:
"The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, S. 510, would be the most significant update of food safety laws in over seven decades, but it has become clear that the Senate made a potentially critical error by including a provision that would allow the FDA to impose fees on importers, and on companies whose food is recalled because of contamination.

Article 1, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution says all revenue-raising measures must originate in the House. This error will almost certainly mean that the legislation will have to be reconsidered in the Senate, a major setback considering the precious floor time it could take to jump though the necessary procedural hoops: namely circumventing Sen. Tom Coburn's (R-OK) filibuster threat."

Write or call your Senator now.

Kill it, then follow the money trail of payoffs by Monsanto with links to Soros (of course).
