Welcome Free Republic and Resistnet folks. You guys rock! I would be honored if you added me to your reader or became a follower.
Whenever there is a big kerfuffle going on, in this case the TSA conditioning Americans to line up like Jews headed for boxcars, I look around for what the puppet-masters don't want us to see. In this case it's S510 - The Food Safety and Modernization Act, which is no more about keeping our food safe then feeling up our "junk" is about keeping us safe at the airport.
It passed the Senate yesterday with the help of these Republicans:
Alexander (R-TN)
Barrasso (R-WY)
Collins (R-ME)
Corker (R-TN)
Enzi (R-WY)
Grassley (R-IA)
Gregg (R-NH)
Johanns (R-NE)
LeMieux (R-FL)
Lugar (R-IN)
Snowe (R-ME)
Thune (R-SD)
Vitter (R-LA)
Voinovich (R-OH)
The republican Mother was the first to bring this bill to my attention and the connection with what Monsanto is doing - and we thank her! I've known for years and years that genetcally altered seeds, which include hybrid plants, is not a good idea. A hybrid plant will not produce seed that can be grown the next year and produce a plant like the parent plant. If you've ever grown hybrid tomatoes and witnessed a few "volunteer" plants pop up the following year, you know what I'm talking about. They will not produce fruit or if they do, it's small and generally doesn't ripen. There is no way possible that hybrid and genetically altered seed can be kept from eventually infecting non-hybrid seeds.
My advice to you? Buy some non-hybrid seeds if you like to garden. Heck - buy non-hybrids if you like to eat. Seal them in jars using a vacuum sealer and each year collect seeds. I've been collecting seeds for years, although it simply started out as a way to save money. And plan on writing your Congressmen and Senators and demand that this bill be thrown in the same junk-pile as Obamacare.

Thanks for the tip about the vacuum sealer. What kind do you use?
Don't forget to primary those GOPers ASAP. Lugar is probably the most vulnerable.
In Tennessee, we can't wait to primary these two, however there seems to be some sort of machine in our state party or something hindering strong conservatives.
Bob Corker came through recently doing town halls about our huge debt and he had the Federal Reserve issue thrown back in his face. One constituent even offered him his very own constitution, and Corker said he was insulted. Mission accomplished.
This past summer, I planted seeds I saved from hybrid cucumbers and yucky was the result. I'll be going all heirloom this spring, except for maybe okra, ya know?
Thanks for the link!
LeMieux here in FL now has delusions of grandeur in running for the Senate in 2012. He can kiss that good-bye by the time I get through with this tyrant/liar!
