http://www.naturalnews.com/030440_Food_Safety_Modernization_Act_Senate.htmlThursday, November 18, 2010by Mike , the Health Ranger(NaturalNews) U.S. Senate Bill S 510 is now on the Senate floor where a vote is expected shortly. Yesterday, the Motion to Invoke Cloturepassed on a vote of 74-25 (see how they voted, below), sending the bill forward for a final vote perhaps as early as today.US Senate offices are experiencing a huge backlash of grassroots opposition to the bill -- called the Food Safety Modernization Act -- as virtually every health freedom organization, family farm group and even dietary supplement companies have aligned to oppose this new bill. It is being called "The most dangerous bill in United States history" and would thrust America into a new Dark Ages of

FDA tyranny over seeds, foods, herbs, gardens and nutritional supplements. (http://naturalnews.com/030418_Food_...)Opposition to the bill has been widespread. For example, the Birch Society issued this alert yesterday:Senate Bill 510 has already passed committee and is on the Senate calendar. It calls for enhanced expansion of FDA authority over small farms, ranches, and other food producers, establishes burdensome administrative requirements for large and small operations, and arbitrary legal authority to recall "unsafe medications," the definition of which is not clearly established; if in line with the global standard set by Codex Alimentarius, "unsafe medications" could extend to dietary supplements and herbal products. There is language that currently exempts from heavy regulation dietary supplement manufacturers and packagers. However, the

FDA and its agents are notorious for interpreting regulations their own way.Take Action: Click here to sign the Birch Society petition opposing S.510.The Birch Society insists that "My right to produce, distribute, and consume thefoods of my choice is part of my right to life and liberty under the Constitution."I happen to agree. The FDA has no business telling us we can't buy raw milk, or we can't save our own garden seeds or grow organic

produce and sell it at the farmer's market.How they voted so farHere's how the senators voted on the motion to send S.510 to a full floor vote: (this is a procedural vote to move the bill forward so that it can be voted on for final passage)Who voted in FAVOR of moving S.510 forwardAkaka (D-HI) (R-TN)Barrasso (R-WY)Baucus (D-MT)Bayh (D-IN)Begich (D-AK)Bennet (D-CO)Bingaman (D-NM)Boxer (D-CA)Brown (D-OH)Brown (R-MA)Burr (R-NC)Burris (D-IL)Cantwell (D-WA)Cardin (D-MD)Carper (D-DE)Casey (D-PA) (R-ME)Conrad (D-ND)Coons (D-DE)Corker (R-TN)Dodd (D-CT)Dorgan (D-ND)Durbin (D-IL)Enzi (R-WY)Feingold (D-WI)Feinstein (D-CA)en (D-MN)Gillibrand
