For the people?

Here is an interesting quote that I found talking about H.R. 875.


"House Resolution 875, or the Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, was introduced by Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., in February. DeLauro's husband, Stanley Greenburg, works for Monsanto - the world's leading producer of herbicides and genetically engineered seed."


Hmmmm.............Really makes you stop and think who's interests our "representatives" are looking out for.

Land of the FREE?????

I am ticked, I mean TICKED big time....... I am sitting here in disbelief, wondering who in the hell let the monkeys out of the zoo to run amuck in our government.

Someone posted an article on H.R. 875 on one of my yahoo groups and of course it caught my attention. ANYTIME, the our government says that they are trying to do something to "protect" the public, I sit up and take notice.......... I read the text of this bill and thought to myself that somebody must have been out of their friggin mind if they think the American people will sit back and let this go through.

You can read the text of the bill here:

Rep. Rosa DeLauro is the sponsor (D-CT) of this hellish mindnumbing bill. They are saying it is to help protect the health of the public by preventing food borne illnesses and contamination BUT what it comes down to is CONTROL. Control of what you can do and not do.... No more local farm markets or various small organic farms because the government will be bogging them down with regulations that there is no way they will be able to survive. BIG corporations will win again. It can be better explained by looking over these links.

Click on the comment link and read through the comments. VERY interesting indeed.

Here is a link to find your House Representative:

I urge you to contact your representative and tell them what you think of this bill. Last time I looked, I thought that this government was supposed to be "of the people, by the people and for the people." I guess our current leaders seem to think that this country belongs to BIG government and MEGA corporations..........

Cleaning house

Well, I have been registering for classes, spring cleaning and taking care of sick people so I think that should easily explain why I haven't posted in awhile:) LOL

I finally got my classes registered. Even though I got a pell grant I had to apply for a student loan to finish paying for my classes, books, etc. GRRRRR....... I hate having to go into debt. I only asked for a small amount of money though, so it won't be too bad to pay back. I may even be switching majors in the fall quarter, but that is another story.......

Everyone here is down sick with influenza but me. Knock on wood. I don't even want to get that yucky stuff.......

Lastly, I have been doing some spring cleaning. It's amazing what you can accumulate around the house without thinking..............I have been looking at some of the stuff and thinking "when did I buy this and why?" LMAO Which brings me to the point that I have too much "clutter" in my life. I'm tired of being bogged down with all this "gunk". I know I will look and feel much better when I'm done with "cleaning house"............


Well,I have to go get my butt in gear.......have to make a trip to the store to get groceries and THEN go to work. I work the next two days and get Monday off! Huzzah!
