hr 2749 Another Bill to Put an End to Backyard and Organic Gardening

Yet another bill, H.R. 2749: Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009, has been just passed the house that may unfairly penalize. This bill will grant new powers to the FDA including the warrentless searches! Two other bills, H.R. 875 and S 425 were already introduced in February of 2009 and have been drawing the ire of backyard gardeners, small family farms and bloggers since. Perhaps that explains why someone felt it was necessary to introduce .R. 2749: Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 in June and ram it through the House in July. It is not too late to fight this bill. Contact your senators NOW and demand that they read this bill and protect your rights to grow your own food. This bill as well as the other is supposed to make food safer but instead just adds more beaurocracy and infringes on your rights. Even if you don't grow your own food or visit farmer's markets this bill could have a huge impact on your grocery bill. These bills are poorly worded and ill conceived. Please don't sit by while our government continues to trash our liberties. Stand up and let yourself be heard!
