Food Safety Act Of 2009 Sponsor DeLauro Backpedalling
Over the weekend we heard the reporter/blog writer who alerted the public to the possibility of organic farming being outlawed is now retracting his statement. We hear Connecticut congresswoman Democrat Rose De Lauro is also doing that dance step the backpedal.
We do not know who this person is, but we are told by our sources the author of the very first article to be published on the web about the proposed law, misunderstood the legislation. Hmmmm…really? While the article writer, who is unknown to us, sings a chorus of the BeeGees’ “I Started A Fire (That Set The Whole World Burning)” because he did not comprehend what he’d read in the proposed bill, we are wondering why we can not find the original pdf of the planned bill on the Internet in order that we, along with other interested parties, may read it for ourselves; especially now that there are more questions about the intention of the proposed law establishing an administration to better protect the public food supply.
Our sources tell us there is nothing wrong with the bill; it does not prohibit organic farming. The congressional leader who is the primary sponsor of the bill, 10 term Representative Rose De Lauro, a Democrat from Connecticut, has pulled the original pdf from Internet public view because “she’s getting too many phone calls from outraged citizens inquiring” about the portion of the bill that is said to threaten organic farming. We would think that after ten terms in the House Rose De Lauro would know how to handle constituent questions. In fact we think referring inquiring minds to a pdf online to read for themselves would be the perfect solution to her quandary.
Representative De Lauro is married to Stanley B. Greenberg, Chairman and CEO of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, a firm providing strategic advice and research for companies, organizations and campaigns trying to advance their issues amid shifting social currents. Among its private sector clients are BP, Boeing, Comverse, Sun Microsystems, United HealthCare, the Business Roundtable, and the organizing committee for the 2004 Olympics in Athens as well as Monsanto one of the agri-chemical companies supporting the bill.
We think if there is nothing wrong with the proposal then let us, the public, do what so many congressional leaders do not. Let us read for ourselves this very important piece of legislation governing the safety of our food supply.
We think it is mighty peculiar after sounding the alarm for the expectation this bill banning organic farming will be getting the rush through the The House and The Senate, with the added alert major agri-petrochemical companies support the bill– that now it’s being hush-hushed, hidden from public view. There’s no sale here for the lame explanations we been given. We’re skeptical and we’re not buying what Representative De Lauro is selling.
We know how quickly the laws for bail out money for the auto manufacturers, banks and nearly any other related industry were passed through both houses. The Food Safety Modernization Act Of 2009 could very well be another example of a law enacted very quickly. It could be another law enacted so quickly the public wouldn’t know until it was too late to do anything about it..
