PUSHING BACK – “NO MANDATORY VACCINATIONS”
Says US Government
No Forced Vaccine Action Step
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275
3 Weeks to Save Health Freedom:
https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3262
You know that push back works. We are finding out together just how well it works! Last week, the US Government made it clear that, whether they want to or not, they have to respond to our demands. We are not home yet, but we sure have pushed the mandatory vaccine crew back quite a way.
We don’t want mandatory vaccines. We don’t want incarceration. What we do want is the right to control our own lives and health choices We’ve been telling the US Government, Governors and State Legislators exactly that with more than 1.3 million emails to that effect… so far.
Last week, Secretary Sibelius of Health and Human Services (home of FDA and CDC), along with Dr. Fauci of the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases went on record (CSpan) responding to our insistent, persistent demand for self sheilding rather than mandatory pandemic vaccination. Of course, they did not mention us by name but they were clearly repsonding to our email campaign demanding the right to own our own bodies. They said all vaccinations would be voluntary – and we don’t believe them for a minute. Here’s why, and here’s what we need to do.
‘Ministry of Truth’ Spins Lies,
a la 1984
Note that in the following quotes from official documents, published in 2005, “quarantine” applies to people who have not yet become ill while “isolation” applies to those who have already developed the disease.
The benign-sounding, but very ominous, term “provisional quarantine”, by the way, is defined on p. 41 of 42 CFR 70_71.pdf as “detention on an involuntary basis of a person or group of persons reasonably believed to be in the qualifying stage of a quarantinable disease until a quarantine order has been issued or until the [CDC – REL] Director determines that provisional quarantine is no longer warranted.”
NOTE: As you read through the following quotes authorizing the CDC to quarantine you on a “voluntary” basis if you do not take the pandemic vaccine on a “voluntary” basis, I suggest you insert the word “involuntary” in front of every place that “quarantine” appears – REL
Now that the US Government has declared that vaccines will be “voluntary”, you need to understand that in an Orwellian inversion, “voluntary vaccination” will actually be mandatory vaccination which would work like this:
FEDERAL QUARANTINE:
* The US Government could, like any good politician, simply reverse this “campaign promise” and, to put it simply, lie. This would neither be uncommon nor unexpected. The only protection against this would be legislation such as the legislation we have proposed in our No Forced Vaccination Action item and which Dr. Ron Paul is considering introducing. Enthusiastic support for this legislation will help collect enough spponsors and supporters to pass.
* WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR) are legally binding upon all 194 signatory countries, including the US. If WHO advises mandatory vaccination under the IHR, the US would be obligated to reverse its current stand and require mandatory vaccination for the Swine Flu, Level 6 Pandemic. US Legal exemptions for self shielding, but not for medical conditions, would, we believe, trump this requirment since we believe legal action by the US BEFORE mandatory vaccination is invoked would give the US legal authority to allow self shielding without violating international law. http://www.who.int/features/qa/39/en/index.html, whqlibdoc.who.int/publications/2008/9789241580410_eng.pdf
* Executive Order 13375 permits federal isolation and quarntine of individuals to prevent transmission of numerous diseases including “influenza that can cause a pandemic”. Under this April 1, 2005 EO signed by George W. Bush, and the following regulations, anyone violating a quarantine order can be punished by a $250,000 fine and a one year prison term while organizations may be punished by a $500,000 fine….” http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Executive_Order_13375 , 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.3
* Under §§361-368 of the Public Health Services Act (42-USC 264-271), the government can “make and enforce regulations as are necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and from one State or possession into another….especially when combined with vaccination….” 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.3
* Section 70.9 of the Public Health Services Act (42-USC 264-271) allows the government to establish vaccination clinics and charge a user fee for that vaccination [unless you are a Medicare B recipient] introducing “…health strategies such as vaccination.” Records must be carefully kept although “the Director may waive or modify these requirements in the event of a public health emergency.” That means that, as in the military’s use of experimental vaccines, records do not have to be kept. Since all vaccine makers and those who administer them are specifically exempt from any liability, there is, from their point of view, perhaps no reason to keep records – REL 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.3
* “Persons subject to provisional quarantine may be offered medical treatment, prophylaxis, or vaccination as the Director deems necessary to prevent the transmission or spread of disease. Medical treatment prophylaxis, or vaccination will typically occur in a hosptial setting but may occur in other settings as the Director deems necessary.” “Medical treatment, prophylaxis, or vaccination may occur in a hospital or other settings, including homes [Empahsis added – REL] as the Director deems necessary,… on a voluntary basis….provided that persons who refuse remain subject to quarantine until the period of incubation and communicability have passed.” 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.13, 14 [Empahsis added – NOTE: this gives additional weight to our demand for home self-shielding – REL]
* “Medical treatment, prophylaxis, or vaccination shall occur on a voluntary basis, provided that persons who refuse remain subject to provisional quarantine.” [Empahsis added – REL] 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.13
* “The length of quarantine shall not exceed the period of incubation and communicability” which for influenza is given as “1-4 days following exposure” and another “5-14 days following onset of illness”. 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.14
NOTE: you can be held in “provisional quarantine” indefinitely although the quarantine itself is not to exceed the period of inclubation and communicability of the disease. Imagine, for a moment,that you are in a detention center and someone else develops a cold, cough or fever. You ALL could then be held in povisional detention for another period, and another and another…. since:
* The person in quarantine “may refuse examination, medical monitoring, medical treatment, prophilaxis or vaccination, but that if they choose to do so they remain subject to quarantine“ [Emphasis added] 42CFR70_71-1.pdf p.15
* Once Pandemic Emergency powers are invoked, you could be given the “choice” to accept a flu shot or not. If you do, whatever the consequences are, you can sue no one, and no one is liable for your damages (or death). If you “choose” not to accept the “voluntary” flu shot, you will very likely then be faced with provisional quarantine, which equals incarceration/quarantine/detention for as long as the government chooses to detain you.
Despite the legalism, I would call that mandatory vaccination, wouldn’t you?
Isn’t this just a “perfect storm”: those who submit to the vaccination have no redress and those who refuse are subject to indefinite detention.
STATE QUARANTINE:
All 50 States have legislation allowing medical exemptions for conventional vaccines. Nearly all have religious exemptions and some have philosophical exemptions. Pandemic vaccines do not, however, fall under those laws. Public health laws vary from state to state but most have adopted some version of the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA) which allows the 44 states and the District of Columbia which have passed some or all of this statute to:
– Take control of all roads leading into and out of cities and states
– Seize homes, cars, phones, computers, food, fuel, clothing, firearms and alcoholic beverages for their own use (without liability)
– Arrest, imprison, forecibly examine, vaccinate and medicate citizens without consent (without liability) [Emphasis added – REL]
The MSEHPA allows/requires the Governor of the State to declare a pandemic health emergency once the federal government has done so. At that point, citizens who refuse medical examination or treatment, even if there is no evidence of contamination, will be incarcerated either under a felony or a misdemenor charge (varies by State). This incarceration is for an indefinite period. What this means to you is that you will be ‘disappeared’ without recourse, legal right of appeal or control over your body or your fate.
Under the Constitution of These United States, all matters not specifically designated as government functions are left to the States and the People. Public health is not mentioned in the Constitution so it is a State matter. Thus, the MSEHPA literally OVER RIDES the Federal actions so the fact that the CDC Director would allow you an appeal (which might or might not be granted and might or might now lead to your release if granted) has no meaning if your incarceration is in a State facility. But this also means that your State can pass the legislation that we have proposed in our No Forced Vaccination Action item, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275 restoring your right to control your own destiny and your control over your children’s bodies. And, by the way, so can the Federal Government, which is why Ron Paul is considering introducing this legislation.
Every time you submit one of our No Forced Vaccination Action Items, the Governor of your state recieves it. So do your State legislators. And your Federal legislators. And the Secretary of Health and Human Services. And the Secretary of Department of Homeland Security. And the White House.
That means that they, both State and Federal decison makers, are hearing our roar. But the roar has to be loud enough to make it clear that we will not be vaccinated against our will, not even for a phony pandemic which apparently, at least in the minds of WHO (June 11) and HHS (April 25) required a declaration of “Pandemic Emergency)” despite the fact that:
* The first alleged Swine Flu death occurred on April 14, 2009 in Mexico
* Baxter applied for the patent for its version of the vaccine in 2007
* Novartis’ Swine Flu vaccine was removed from the market in Feb, 2009
* “Swine Flu” is diagnosed wrong 90% of the time because its symptoms are indistinguishable from normal seasonal flu
* Swine Flu lab diagnosis is highly inaccurate
* Swine Flu cases are no longer being counted, per a WHO directive, [since diagnosis is so poor – REL]
* Swine Flu has caused far fewer deaths than the normal seasonable flu
* Not one person has been proven, through established forensic methods, to have ever died FROM Swine Flu although some may have died WITH Swine Flu (the fact is, even this is unclear)
On April 29, Alex Jones released the following important information:
Homeland Security Issues Alert on
Mandatory Quarantine Procedures
BATF and FBI to forcibly detain Americans despite only 7 confirmed swine flu deaths in Mexico
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, April 29, 2009
The Department of Homeland Security has sent out an alert to health care providers outlining how BATF, FBI, and U.S. Marshals will be called upon to impose mandatory quarantines in the event of a widespread swine flu outbreak in the U.S.
According to the report, “DHS Assistant Secretary Bridger McGaw circulated the swine flu memo, which was obtained by CBSNews.com, on Monday night. It says: “The Department of Justice has established legal federal authorities pertaining to the implementation of a quarantine and enforcement. Under approval from HHS, the Surgeon General has the authority to issue quarantines.”
The memo states, “U.S. Customs and Coast Guard Officers assist in the enforcement of quarantine orders. Other DOJ law enforcement agencies including the U.S. Marshals, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives may also enforce quarantines. Military personnel are not authorized to engage in enforcement.”
However, a separate Defense Department planning document, DOD_Pl_Implementation_Plan_August_2006_Public_Release.pdf, on dealing with pandemics states that the Pentagon will use the forces at its disposal to assist in “quarantining groups of people in order to minimize the spread of disease during an influenza pandemic” and aid in “efforts to restore and maintain order.”
As we reported yesterday, so-called “involuntary isolation” is already being enforced in certain areas of the United States. The state’s health director in North Carolina, Dr. Jeffrey Engel, said that authorities were already involuntarily isolating patients who may have the swine flu virus. He refused to divulge the location of where the victims were being quarantined.
News reports such as this one from MSNBC are prevaricating around the contention that quarantines are a normal event that Americans should be comfortable with. In reality, there has only been one case of “involuntary quarantine” in the U.S. in the last 45 years.
“In 2007, Andrew Speaker, an Atlanta lawyer, was quarantined inside a hospital in Denver on suspicion of having extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. It turned out that the CDC was incorrect and Speaker had a milder form of the disease,” states the CBS report.
The MSNBC report also falsely claims that quarantines will solely be handled on a state/local level, when in reality, Bush’s executive order 13375 outlines a federal response, and the DHS memo lists numerous federal authorities that will have powers of quarantine.
In addition, the Bush administration’s National Strategy For Pandemic Influenza (Pandemic-Influenza.pdf) released in November 2005, states that the federal government will impose “quarantines” and “limitations on gatherings”.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/homeland-security-issues-alert-on-mandatory-quarantine-procedures.html
Is this the most important of the crises facing us? I believe so. Can you have an impact on the outcome of this crisis? I know so. We already are having that impact. My estimate is that we need about 10 emails for every one already sent. You can make that happen!

Three for Liberty!
Three weeks to save food AND freedom
Action eAlert: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3230
08/08/09 Update: 3 Leaflets for the Three Weeks to Save Health Freedom Campaign
https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241
1. The House of “Representatives” passes draconian (sic) food safety bill…
Take Action Here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. And mass forced vaccination comes closer…
Take Action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275
3. BUT… Dr. Ron Paul offers a prescription to Congress: two new bills, HR 3394 and 3395 – regulate the regulators and promote Free Health Speech!
Take Action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27732
Note: the first two Action Items have been revised. If you submitted them before, along with one for each member of your family or household, we urge you to do so again since, once revised, they count as new items. These actions could save your life, assuming we all act together to speak the power of our collective truth to legislative power.
Are you the one? Are you the one person who makes the difference? Are you the one person who alerts your neighbors like Paul Revere and defeats the forces threatening our lives, our liberty and our sacred honor?
If you are, then you are mounted up and ready to ride – only this time, it’s a freedom mouse that will carry your message to your neighbors and to the heavens because we need both your neighbors and the support of the Universe to make sure that our cause, our just cause, survives.
We are talking about literal survival here: if our food is poisoned we will not survive. If our bodies are poisoned, we will not survive.
We just lost the first part of the last stand for food freedom: The House passed HR 2749, a bill that combines the worst of all of the bad food “safety” bills that were before the Congress. Although it was removed from the voting docket on Tuesday, and defeated on Wednesday, on Black Thursday, July 30, it passed the House of Representatives.
In 3 weeks, the Senate has a chance to vote on this atrocity, which completes the industrialization of America’s food, from sea to contaminated sea.
Twisting the House of Representative’s Rules to prevent meaningful debate, the governing party adopted the martial law (sic) “food safety” bill, HS 2749.
You can read the final bill at:
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h2749rh.txt.pdf
Congress will be in recess for about three weeks; after that the Senate will take up the bill. We must flood the Senate with so many emails, and visit sitting Senators in their home offices during the August recess in such enormous numbers that they back off. If we make it strong enough, our Push Back WILL work. But that takes you being the one to push!
We have three weeks to assert our 2009 Legislative Educational Agenda.
Printable Leaflets: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241
Read more about Dr. Ron Paul’s two Health Freedom bills: https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3226
We have much to do to and little time; but we know PUSH BACK WORKS and even the horrid Food Fascism bill now contains language somewhat protective of some local food solutions. Not enough! But this is a start and we can finish this process in the Senate. Thousands have joined the Health Freedom Action eAlert in the past few days. Now it’s time to act!
Repeat: We have 3 short weeks to add to the more than 1 million emails which the Natural Solutions Foundation has already sent to your Congressmen and women, The Secretaries of Health and Human Services, USDA and Homeland Security and the White House. 1 Million emails is a good start, but obviously not enough.
We need 10 million emails. Please go to http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27134, fill out the revised action item even if you did so before. Then fill it out again for EACH member of your family or household. Then go the next step and send a brief one or two line email with that same link to everyone you know who eats.
Leave out anyone who does not consume food… ;)
Explain something like “Please take a moment to click on the link I am sending to you in order to deluge Congress and other Federal decision makers with our opposition to the industrialization of the US food supply. Under the bill which the House has just passed, FDA would have the power to declare marshal law if any food contamination occurred in the US, seize cars and other property, invade home kitchens to demand recourse on chain-of-custody, cold storage and other absurdities, forbid private farmers to save seeds without million dollar facilities, and on and on. Small farmers will be driven out of business through extreme costs and draconian penalties for record keeping failures of half a million dollars or more and jail time up to 8 years for a first infraction!”
We cannot let this happen. Please fill out the form once for each member of your family and household and then forward this email and link to everyone on your email list.
Here is the First Strike for Liberty Food Freedom Action Item Link:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27134
Through the power of multiplication of effort, we can generate the necessary fire storm of protest to stop this insanity.
The second strike for liberty and freedom requires the identical action: go to this link:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275
Submit an email for each member of your family or household and then share it with everyone you know. This link is a little different than the other one you just completed, however.
The previous one opposed a law. This one demands a law: a law that says that you have the right, which you do not have now, to refuse a pandemic vaccine without risking incarceration or involuntary quarantine.
Right now, that is the case: both the state and federal law makers have set things up so that if you are offered a vaccine in a declared pandemic emergency such as the one we are in right now [Swine Flu], refusing that vaccine is your right, but the consequences will be either quarantine or incarceration, which are really the same thing. We want to protect your right to Self-Shield instead of accepting the jab.
Further, the CDC will have, under a law pending before Congress, the right to send teams to your door with the authority to vaccinate you and everyone else in the household whether you want to be vaccinated or not.
Forget about the fact that vaccines are, in my opinion, without scientific or medical merit. Even if you agree with vaccination for yourself and your children, I doubt very much that you agree with forced vaccination. You probably believe, as I do, that vaccination, like any other medical procedure, should be voluntary, must be voluntary, may not be compulsory for any reason. That has been the law in civilized nations since the defeat of the Nazis.
Yet your State and Federal Governments see things differently. Based on an outdated, hundred year-old case (Jacobson v Massachusetts) they erroneously believe they have authority to do with us whatever they want, so long as they concoct an “emergency.”
So I urge you to send another email to those same people saying something like,
“Please go to the link below and submit an email for each member of your family or household on a matter or great seriousness: forced vaccination with a vaccine for a disease which has failed to produce a pandemic, but which is being used as a way to make huge amounts of money for vaccine makers (who have been relieved of all liability for any harm their vaccine does!) and very possibly to introduce serious or even deadly, but highly profitable) diseases into an unsuspecting populace.”
These vaccines will be approved before any safety testing has been completed and will be used first, without any safety data, on pregnant women, children, those with chronic illness and on first responders.
No responsible government would engage in such reckless, uninsurable vaccination unless they did not care about the consequences.
Please take a moment to submit these emails demanding the right to remain at home in the event of a pandemic instead of accepting either vaccination or quarantine and then forward this email to everyone you know.
The Third Step of our Three for Liberty is to urge your Congressional representatives to support Dr. Paul’s Health Freedom Free Speech bills.
Take Action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27732
We are asking for your active assistance in preserving life, liberty and the ability to be healthy enough to pursue happiness. We need your help to keep on providing these campaigns.

PS – Our Counsel Ralph Fucetola JD just read through the 134 page Food Fascism bill which the House just passed and found these exemptions (and one interesting paragraph about HARMonization!)
Thus, this horrific bill has one slightly bright spot and you helped to put it there. The farm to consumer exemption listed below was added because our more than 630,000 emails demanding protection for small farmers tied the bill up in committee. To get it out to the House floor for a vote, the Section 107 exemptions had to be added. It is not what we want, but some protection, after all.
So thank you for that. Now, let’s pour on the steam and get what we really want: the defeat of this bill in the Senate.
Exemptions and Requirements of Food Safety Bill – HR 2749
Sec 5 – Meat, poultry & eggs regulated by USDA – exempt
Sec 6 – distilled spirits, wine & beer – exempt
Sec 743 – Max registration fee is $175,000.00 [Easy for Big Ag Biz; hard for anyone else. REL]
Sec 418A – “INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.—In issuing guidance or regulations under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall review inter national hazard analysis and preventive control standards that are in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and relevant to such guide-lines or regulations to ensure that the programs under sections 418 and 418A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (as added by
paragraph (2)) are consistent, to the extent the Secretary determines practicable and appropriate, with such standards.” [This is the HARMonization clause – note: it only applies to existing Codex standards. rf]
Rules phased in over 3 years
Page 116 – Registration of Importers
EXEMPTIONS.—The Secretary, by notice published in the Federal Register—
(A) shall establish an exemption from the requirements of this subsection for
importations for personal use.
Sec 107 (page 57)
EXEMPTIONS.—
(A) DIRECT SALES BY FARMS.—Food is
exempt from the requirements of this subsection if such food is—
(i) produced on a farm or fishery (including
an oyster bed, a wild fishery, an
aquaculture facility, a fresh water fishery,
and a saltwater fishery); and
(ii) sold by the owner, operator, or
agent in charge of such farm or fishery
directly to a consumer or to a restaurant or
grocery store.
(B) OTHER FOODS.—The Secretary may
by notice in the Federal Register exempt a food
or a type of facility, farm, or restaurant from,
or modify the requirements with respect to, the
requirements of this subsection if the Secretary
determines that a tracing system for such food or
type of facility, farm, or restaurant is not
necessary to protect the public health.

Health and Freedom Supporters send 636,516 emails to Congress to stop fake “Food Safety” bill (H.R. 2749). Ron Paul’s office says vote is near.
For Immediate Release:
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2009 —
Over a Half Million eMails say “NO!” to Fake Food Safety Bill – HR 2749
“Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009” a Threat to Food AND Freedom!
Congress is set to deliver a huge blow to local food production and safety by giving Big Agra interests exactly what they want: the industrialization of all food production in the US — forcing family farms, natural, successful home gardeners and other local food sources to meet Agra-Biz industrial standards or go out of business. H.R. 2749 — the (sic) “Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009” has been “fast tracked” and is heading to a vote this week under a Suspension of Rules that will allow no amendments and a total of 40 minutes debate. The latest report we’ve had indicates the bill was removed from the voting agenda today: rumors suggest that continued strong public opposition may force the bill back to committee for further amendment.
The Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, concerned by Codex Alimentarius’ US-led industrialization and global degradation of the food supply, noted with alarm the introduction of bills to do the same thing here in the US. While the public was distracted by the economic collapse and the non-lethal Swine Flu “Pandemic Emergency” and the threat of mandatory vaccination with the weaponized Swine Flu vaccine, Congress was planning its own surprise: the forced-industrialization-of-farming bills, such as HR 875 & 759, were replaced by a new “fast-tracked” (sic) “Food Safety” bill – HR 2749 – that threatens food, health and freedom. Since it gives the FDA power to declare marshal law in the face of food contamination in the US, it is, in reality, a “martial law food control bill” — see: http://farmwars.info/?p=1145
Small farms, organic production, biodynamic operations and home farmers who share their food will be required to comply with standards which they cannot afford, like seed sorting plants running to more than a million dollars for each species of seed when no threat has ever been posed by simple hand sorting devices. All food preparation and storage facilities, including home kitchens, could be entered without a warrant for inspection of records – which no home keeps. Ultimately, the only acceptable food would be prepared, industrialized and industry-controlled food. Codex standards and guidelines would govern all agricultural production, driving non-chemical operations out of business.
Today, recognizing the importance of push back and citizen involvement in the legislative process, Rep. Ron Paul, responding to the 600,000+ emails supporters of health freedom have sent to Congress demanding protection for organic farming and food freedom, urged, through his Legislative Aide, that the Natural Solutions Foundation “Keep it up!”
Natural Solutions Foundation’s White Paper on Food Safety is here:
https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2287
It includes information in support of the Action Item to tell Congress to protect both our food and our freedom at:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Assaults on Health Freedom have not been limited to proposed food fascism. The right to refuse vaccines is threatened under both federal and state statutes. Outraged over the impossible choice presented to the to either accept Swine Flu vaccines (without the possibility of exemptions) or face incarceration, Americans have sent over 1 million emails to decision makers demanding the right to Self Shield in the face of Pandemic Swine Flu vaccination.

We thank Dr. Ron Paul (TX-R) for confirming that Push Back works!
For example, we’ve been urging Congress to defeat all fake “Food Safety” bills since they do not address the major health and environmental threats posed by huge factory farms and feed lots which threaten local production. When the Foundation created our an Action Item more than a half a million emails told federal legislators to protect family farms and ranches, organic, natural and home food production, food co-ops, community gardens, etc.
See: No HARMonization White Paper:

Our original proposed amendment:
https://staging.drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2246 *
And, apparently, they heard at least part of the message. Those who support HR 2749 are touting the (slight) “farmer protection” added to the bill to initially get it out of committee:
“Are Small Farms Protected?
“The legislation is doing a bunch of things for food safety, most notably giving the FDA mandatory recall authority. This has been a major sticking point for previous iterations of this legislation in the House, because House reps more than senators represent small fiefdoms inside large rural states. These districts wide recalls will disproportionately harm smaller businesses and processors versus their larger partners. In a sense, FDA recalls and fees would represent a regressive tax.
“This is an extremely valid concern given the FDA’s proclivity for influence from industry. However, this bill was able to climb out of committee in the House because it properly addressed small growers and farmers markets. Specifically, Section 107 of the bill which stipulates ‘Traceability Requirements’ on most farms makes an exemption for farmer’s markets (more or less):
‘(4) EXEMPTIONS-
‘(A) DIRECT SALES BY FARMS- Food is exempt from the requirements of this subsection if such food is-
‘(i) produced on a farm; and
‘(ii) sold by the owner, operator, or agent in charge of such farm directly to a consumer or restaurant.
“Traceability is a huge issue and this bill seeks to establish a new electronic system for tracking that will be vetted over the course of a couple years. The exemption for small farmers is good but poorly defined. We hope this vague language about exemptions gets tightened up as the bill moves forward. It would be a pity to see this single exemption allow major agribusiness farmers off the hook.”

This weak provision is not the protection we want for local food production.
But it is a start. We are concerned that the word “farm” could be construed too narrowly. What about religious communities, nonprofits, co-ops, community and family gardens that produce surpluses… Real protection is needed for local, natural production.
This is not a bill that we expect conscientious congresspeople to support, and we certainly don’t support what has been called a “martial law food control bill.”
Health Freedom advocates need to redouble our efforts to get Congress to listen!
Here is the action item –

Natural Solutions Foundation President, Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA Ret.) stated,
“We do not need a fake food safety bill that forces the industrialization of family and natural food production while not addressing the very real safety problems caused by industrialized food production. The Foundation, as always, proposes Natural Solutions to this dilemma and urges supporters to visit our new Food Freedom eJournal at http://www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org.”

* The language was modified later, and this later language was sent to Congress many thousands of times:
“The citizens ascribing to this Petition therefore hereby request that the
Food Safety Modernization Act be defeated, or that it, or any substitute for
it, such as H.R. 759, be amended to exclude organic and natural agriculture,
family farms and ranches, and natural or organic food products, including
dietary supplements, through a rule of interpretation, as follows:
“Rule of Interpretation
“No provision of this act shall be deemed to apply (a) to any home,
home-business, homestead, small farm organic or natural agricultural activity,
(b) to any family farm or ranch, or (c) to any natural or organic food
product, including dietary supplements regulated under the Dietary Supplement
Health and Education Act of 1994.”
“We also note the language of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC sec 203 (s)
(2) which provides, “(2) Any establishment that has as its only regular
employees the owner thereof or the parent, spouse, child, or other member of
the immediate family of such owner shall not be considered to be an enterprise
engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce or a part of
such an enterprise…”
“Language such as this would be helpful to allay our concerns.”
