Dear Patriot,
On Sunday evening, Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell conjured up a backroom deal to revive the so-called “Food Safety Modernization Act” – passing it by unanimous consent after it was thought dead.
Even though dozens of Republican senators opposed the bill only a few weeks ago, not one member – not even Tom Coburn, who led the opposition to the regulatory boondoggle – dared speak up to oppose the FDA’s food takeover.
Liberty is never more in danger than when legislators are looking to cut a quick deal, and last night was another harsh reminder of this fact.
It only required one senator to speak up and object to further empowering Barack Obama’s radical regulatory agenda to bury the bill for the rest of this Congress. Harry Reid and his statist allies were out of time and could not afford yet another drawn-out legislative fight.
Contact your senators and urge them to pass a clean, short-term CR and then go home! The 111th Congress no longer represents the will of the American people. To continue to cut backroom deals that steal more of our liberty while empowering Big Government is nothing more than a slap in the face to the electorate.
C4L must continue to remain vigilant during the rest of this Lame Duck. Tell your senators to oppose any further backroom deal making between Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell.
Also, contact Mitch McConnell today at (202) 224-2541 and tell him what you think of this last minute surrender.
The Food “Safety” bill will now return to the House for a final vote. Please contact your representative and urge them to oppose H.R. 2751, the so-called “Food Safety Modernization Act,” as amended.
In Liberty,
John Tate
