Betrayed By The GOP – S.510 Sent Back To House Tuesday 12.21. Push Back Needed!
The betrayal Sunday night of the Health and Food Freedom movement [and the Tea Party, Liberty, Farm/Ranch/Garden groups working with us] by the GOP in passing S.510/HR.2751 back to the House with an unrecorded Unanimous Consent vote is unacceptable. We condemn the GOP for this betrayal.

According to The Hill:
“The Senate unexpectedly approved food safety legislation by unanimous consent Sunday evening, rescuing a bill that floated in limbo for weeks because of a clerical error.”
Our so-called friends in the Senate had assured us they would object to any effort to pass S.510, the fake “food safety” (really, “food control”) in the last days of the lame-duck congressional session. We feel betrayed. We pledge not to forget! S.510 has been attached to HR.2751 and has the unconstitutional revenue raising clause removed.
The office of Sen Coburn, who failed to live up to his pledge to refuse unanimous consent, tells us the majority party had enough GOP support to close off debate and force the bill through. We say, that’s no excuse! Sorry Senator, the GOP has lost our trust.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
