There are provisions in this legislation that would outlaw your local
farmer's market. Fed regulators have already been "busting" small organic
growers for minor or trumpted up "violations" to demonstrate their
enforcement of FDA rules.

S. 510, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act, is very bad news
and must be stopped.

Stop S. 510 Action Page: http://www.peaceteam.net/action/pnum1057.php

In the aftermath of the massive recent Salmonella in eggs recall it
is clear that 100 percent of the real problems with our food safety
are the giant factory farms, where animals spend their entire
wretched lives wallowing in their own filth in claustrophobic
conditions. These CAFOs (we call them Concentrated Animal Filth
Operations) are just mega breeding grounds for bacteria and deadly
new viruses that end up not just in animal products but spread to
vegetable fields and even our water supply.

We need a scalpel, and a large one, to cut to the heart of these
problems, but not a huge blunderbuss of a shotgun loaded with random
bird shot. We need to keep onerous new bureaucratic regulation from
driving out of business the small operations that are the bed rock of
our real food supply safety. And most of all we don't need another
food czar who is just a corporate crony to wave through a massive
invasion of genetically modified crops and animals and call it food
safety modernization.

S. 510 is just a huge corporate takeover of our entire food supply,
to our health detriment, and must be stopped at all costs.

This is just another example of why we need to break the death grip
that corporate special interests now have around the throats of our
wise public policy. We need your help more urgently than ever to help
us distribute the "Corporations Are NOT The People" bumper stickers
while there is still time to save our democracy.

Please consider picking up a bulk pack of 25 for just a modest
donation, which is what makes it possible for us to send free bumper
stickers to anyone who cannot make a donation right now. Be the key
activist in your own neighborhood to get these in the hands of all
your friends and on to their car bumpers.

Bulk Corporations Are Not The People bumper stickers:

And you can always get one free for yourself with no donation
required, if you have not requested yours already. You can also have
your choice of an "Impeach The Supreme Court 5" bumper sticker.

Single bumper stickers for no charge:
