The House Voted 212 to 205 When the House Shamefully Attached S510's language to HR 3082.
Why is their act shameful? Two reasons. First, the contents of S. 510 is anti-health, anti-supplements, anti-freedom, anti-small business and anti-clean food. Second, the regulatory language of S. 510 should never have been attached to a Continuing Resolution, which is an administrative bill allowing the government of the United States to continue its activities by funding it.
Please help stop S.510 as a tack-on via HR 1755 to HR 3082.
1. Take Action NOW for each member of your household to tell your Senators that you STRONGLY OPPOSE adopting the language of S. 510 in this or any other amendment or bill:
Visit http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm, enter your State to find your Senators' names and phone numbers. CALL THEM! If the line is busy... Keep trying. Here is an example message to give the person who answers:
"I am calling to strongly oppose adopting the language of S. 510, the so-called Food Safety Modernization Act. This language is currently attached to 'CR/Food Safety House Amendment to the Senate Amendment to H.R. 3082 - Full-Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011/FDA Food Safety Modernization Act' which has been sent to the Senate. I urge Senator [name] in the strongest possible terms to vote against this dangerous, unnecessary and expensive amendment and to oppose this language in any bill or amendment."

S510 Not Dead Yet....
The Battle for Our Food Freedom Isn't Over Yet!
Politicians are maneuvering and manipulating to the last moment to pass S 510...
The Senate passed S 510, however it us unconstitutional for the bill to originate in the Senate because it would raise revenue. However, that is not stopping them!
According to Sen. Coburn's Office: "As far as we know there may be an attempt to insert the Senate bill language [S. 510] into a "must pass" bill (such as a budget bill in the House) and send that back to the Senate... if it is returned as as a stand-alone bill, there is probably not enough time to debate and pass it this session, but if it is part of another, already scheduled bill, we don't know what will happen."
Unfortunately, they are not giving up and we cannot either. Please continue to call and email your Representatives and Senators! It is urgent that we stop this bill and save our food freedoms!
