Re: Oppose S.510

Dear Representative,
I oppose the unconstitutional S. 510 that was passed in Senate on 11/30/10. It opens the floodgates for tyrannical federal bureaucrats to crush the food industry's small businesses. Sen. Coburn said that this fake "food safety" bill will raise food prices, add $1.5 billion to deficit, add unfunded state mandates, and drive up the costs of food production by adding more layers of government interference. It will NOT increase food safety one bite.

Despite contrary claims, close examination of S. 510 reveals that the FDA acquires even more power than before to shut down family farms on a whim. As I write this, the few provisions that give some protections to small-scale farmers are under attack by Big Ag, which doesn't want to give your local food producers an inch of wiggle room.

The bill also empowers federal agencies to impose international guidelines and standards on domestic food producers - molding American food production into an unhealthy globalist Codex system.

Don't let the statists empower their Big Agriculture allies and destroy reputable food producers like the independent family farm, where the free market works every day to provide the public with healthy choices.

Stop the FDA’s War on Food! Kill S.510.
Sincerely,
(your name, city, state and zip code)
