Bill HR 875, The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, introduced by Rosa DeLauro - interesting her husband works for Monsanto, the company who has seen fit to get earthworms listed as a "invasive species" in many areas ... the same Monsanto that makes chemicals to kill earthworms and chemicals to replace earthworms in the composting process.
HR 875 goes beyond reason because it will allow the government to come onto your property and tell you what you can and cannot put on your own garden growing food for your own use. They can come in and take your veggies or livestock and fine you up to $500,000. Check it out for yourself, I have or I wouldn't have posted this.

GROUND CONTROL
Lose your property for growing food?
Big Brother legislation could mean prosecution, fines up to $1 million
By Chelsea Schilling
Some small farms and organic food growers could be placed under direct supervision of the federal government under new legislation making its way through Congress.
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.
DeLauro’s act has 39 co-sponsors and was referred to the House Agriculture Committee on Feb. 4. It calls for the creation of a Food Safety Administration to allow the government to regulate food production at all levels – and even mandates property seizure, fines of up to $1 million per offense and criminal prosecution for producers, manufacturers and distributors who fail to comply with regulations.
