Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic

H.R. 2749 The Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009 gives FDA tremendous power while significantly diminishing existing judicial restraints on actions taken by the agency. The bill would impose a one-size-fits-all regulatory scheme on small farms and local artisanal producers; and it would disproportionately impact their operations for the worse. HR 2749 does not address underlying causes of food safety problems such as industrial agriculture practices and the consolidation of our food supply. The industrial food system and food imports are badly in need of effective regulation, but the bill does not specifically direct regulation or resources to these areas. HR 2749 would empower FDA to regulate how crops are raised and harvested. It puts the federal government right on the farm, dictating to our farmers. HR 2749 would also give FDA the power to order a quarantine of a geographic area, including “prohibiting or restricting the movement of food or of any vehicle being used or that has been used to transport or hold such food within the geographic area.”

Text of H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009This bill proposes greater FDA regulatory powers over the national food supply and food providers, namely granting it the authority to regulate how crops are raised and harvested, to quarantine a geographic area, to make warrantless searches of business records, to confiscate property without probable cause, and to establish a national food tracing system. Concurrently, the bill would impose annual registration fees of $500 on all facilities (this is per facility not per company) holding, processing, or manufacturing food and require that such facilities also engaged in the transport or packing of food maintain pedigrees of the origin and previous distribution history of the food.

The Giant Monsanto; who if looked into is really bad for our food industry (See the new Documentary Food Inc. for more information on them). One instance is the case of Monsanto vs. Moe Parr. Moe Parr, a seed cleaner from Indiana, was sued by Monsanto in 2007 and was forced to settle out of court since he could not afford the high legal fees. Moe says, “The GM industry has made a killing in the United States at the expense of farmers. Since the introduction of GM crops in the United States, Monsanto has sued around 500 farmers a year for patent infringement, the majority of who have been forced to settle out of court.

H.R. 1310 Clean Water Protection Act: The Safe Drinking Water Act, 42 U.S.C. § 300f et seq. (“SDWA”), by its delegation to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) of vast rulemaking authority over community water systems, grants the federal government immense regulatory authority over the general health and welfare of local citizens an authority which has been constitutionally reserved to the state governments. Through the SDWA and its resulting regulations, the federal government has imposed millions of dollars in expenses upon state and local communities. These legislative and regulatory actions far exceeded the federal government’s authority under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

Government also wants to fluoridate up to 75% more water. Water systems serving about 30 percent of Americans are not giving them fluoridated water, six decades after fluoridation was started as a public health measure to prevent tooth decay, officials said on Thursday. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hails the reduction in dental cavities due to adding fluoride to public water supplies as one of the top 10 public health achievements of the 20th century.


Why is this important; because people like the science advisor John Holdren work in our government. He wrote a book in 1977 called Ecoscience which calls for Population Control, Forced Abortions, putting sterilizing agents in our water, and called for a one world police force to help enforce this agenda. He still wants this implemented.

S778/773 Rockefeller Cybersecurity Legislation “would grant the White House sweeping new powers to access private online data, regulate the cybersecurity industry and even shut down Internet traffic during a declared “‘cyber emergency.’” Both are part of what’s being called the “Cybersecurity Act of 2009.”The act would create a new bureaucracy, the “Office of the National Cybersecurity Advisor, “which would be charged with “defending the country from cyber attack”... and would report directly to Barack Obama.

H.R. 1388 Serve America Act; Passed in the 4th Month, 2009 states Section #6104: (6) Whether a workable, fair, and reasonable mandatory service requirement for all able young people could be developed, and how such a requirement could be implemented in a manner that would strengthen the social fabric of the Nation and overcome civic challenges by bringing together people from diverse economic, ethnic, and educational backgrounds.
Unconstitutional Per, “13th Amendment”
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

H.R. 3962 Health Care Bill HR 3962 will hamstring our finances. But it's also full of blatant attacks on individual liberty.
For instance, chain restaurants and vending machine owners will be forced to publish calorie information on their menus. That's not interstate commerce... unless the state line cut through a McDonald’s counter. Congress can't order private property owners around this way, and the Free Press clause of the First Amendment also clearly forbids this mandate. Calorie reports may be nice, but that's outside of the government's lawful scope.
HR 3962 also violates the broad 9th Amendment protection of individual liberty, and the 10th Amendment's requirement that federal power be limited to only those functions listed in the Constitution.
Not to mention the Medical Device Registry, page 1,500 that is the RFID implant chip which along with page 78 will tell you by your financial stability what facility you can go to and by which physician you can be seen by.

SPP North American Union. That's part of this; (Taken from Infowars.com
November 13, 2009 A binational task force on U.S.-Mexico border issues will call Friday on the Obama administration and Congress to reinstate an expired ban on assault weapons and for Mexico to overhaul its frontier police and customs agencies to mirror the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The recommendations are among a broad set of security, trade, development and environmental proposals that come as President Obama and his Mexicans counterpart, Felipe Calderón, move to deepen engagement on issues including economic recovery, climate change, illegal immigration and narcotics trafficking. In Mexico City in the 4th month, 2009, Obama pledged to push the Senate to ratify an inter-American arms-trafficking treaty but backed away from a campaign promise to reinstate a ban on assault weapons that Congress let expire in 2004. Obama said that it would be too difficult politically to enact new gun legislation soon and that enforcing existing measures would have a more immediate effect.

H.R. 45 Blair Holt’s Firearm and Licensing Act of 2009 (Rush): This bill would require a license for handguns and semiautomatics, including those currently possessed. The applicant must be thumb printed and sign a certification that, effectively, the firearm will not be kept in a place where it would be available for the defense of the gun owner’s family. The applicant must also make available ALL of his psychiatric records, pass an exam, and pay a fee of up to $25. The license may be renewed after five years and may be revoked. Private sales would be outlawed, and reports to the attorney general of all transactions would be required, even when, as the bill allows, the AG determines that a state licensing system is sufficiently draconian to substitute for the federal license. With virtually no exceptions, ALL firearms transactions (involving semi autos, handguns, long guns, etc.) would be subject to a Brady check. In addition, the bill would make it unlawful in nearly all cases to keep any loaded firearm for self-defense. A variety of “crimes by omission” (such as failure to report certain things) would be created. Criminal penalties of up to ten years and almost unlimited regulatory and inspection authority would be established.

H.R. 197 National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2009 ...
(Stearns): This bill would establish national standards for concealed carry reciprocity, but would not protect residents of pro-gun states like Vermont and Alaska which do not require paper permits.

H.R. 256 David Ray Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 - U.S....
Good, but bad because the basis of decision won’t always rely on facts, but opinion of the court system. (Jackson-Lee): This bill would, among other things, impose a ten-year prison sentence (a life sentence if death or kidnapping results) for using a firearm to cause bodily injury on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin.

H.R. 257 Child Gun Safety and Gun Access Prevention Act of 2009 ...
(Jackson Lee): This bill would take the already Byzantine restrictions on teaching your kids the responsible use of firearms and extend them from handguns to semi-autos; increase the age of applicability from 18 to 21; and increase potential penalties to up to 10 years in prison.
In addition, the bill prohibits unaccompanied minors from gun shows, and subjects parents to up to 3 years in prison for keeping an unloaded gun (with ammunition in the vicinity) if a jury finds that they disregarded a risk, that a kid (including a burglar) would get a hold of the gun and the unauthorized user causes injury. This provision effectively eliminates having guns available for self defense.

H.R. 675 (Filner): This bill would provide police, criminal investigators, and game law enforcement personnel in the Department of Defense with the authority to execute warrants, make arrests, and carry firearms.

H.R. 1022 (Schiff and Bono Mack): This is the 111th Congress’ incarnation of the “gang bill.” It would, among other things, define a “criminal street gang” to include an informal group of five or more people (such as a family or business), each of whom has committed one or more “gang crimes” (such driving by a school with a gun in the car under 18 U.S.C. 922(q)), including a violent felony (such as defending your family against a criminal under circumstances in which a prosecutor feels you should have retreated).

H.R. 1913 Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009
(Conyers, Frank): This is the controversial House-passed Hate Crimes bill. It would impose a 10-year prison sentence for a simple “attempt” to cause bodily injury if a firearm was involved.

H.R. 2159 Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009 (King of New York, Rangel, McCarthy, et al.): This bill would allow Eric Holder to declare any person a "prohibited person” (revoke licenses of, etc.) if he "suspects" that individual of aiding terrorism. Given recent disclosures that the government regards pro-lifers, pro-gun advocates, veterans, and other conservatives as potential terrorists, this has to be regarded with some alarm. This is particularly true because Holder is specifically authorized by the bill to withhold information concerning the basis for putting conservatives on his "enemies list."

H.R. 2296 S. 941; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act of 2009 : (King, Space): This is a reincarnation of a bill which contains a hodge-podge of relatively minor good things -- and one really bad thing which was used to secure the co-sponsorship of the Judiciary Committee Chairman on the Senate version of the bill. The bad thing is that the bill would allow BATFE to impose, for the first time, civil penalties on federal firearms licensees. Civil penalties could easily put a small licensee out of business, but can be imposed without the burden of proof, disclosure requirements, and other protections accorded criminal defendants. And, although proponents argue that civil penalties will allow BATFE to impose penalties short of license revocation, there is no requirement that license revocations be reduced commensurately. While GOA has pushed other provisions in the bill tightening state-of-mind requirements and gun definitions, these are not enough to offset giving the BATFE a tool which has served as the central engine for expanding the power and jurisdiction of other agencies (like the SEC).

H.R. 2324 Gun Show Loophole Act of 2009 (Castle, McCarthy, et al.): This bill is a reincarnation of the year-after-year effort to effectively ban gun shows by allowing them to be regulated and inspected to an unlimited extent. In addition, any gun show sponsor would be subject to up to two years in prison if he failed to notify every single attendee of his responsibilities under the Brady Law.

H.R. 2401 No Fly No Buy Act (McCarthy): This bill is a reincarnation of legislation to make “prohibited persons” of everyone on an administration “terrorist watch list.” Suffice it to say that:
• there are virtually no guidelines to who can or can’t be placed on one of these lists, and they have prohibited boarding by people like Ted Kennedy;
• It is impossible to find out why you are on the list and very difficult to get your name off.
Senate:

S. 941 Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act of 2009 (Crapo, Leahy): This is the Senate counterpart to H.R. 2296 and is a reincarnation of a bill which contains a hodge-podge of relatively minor good things -- and one really bad thing which was used to secure the co-sponsorship of Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy. The bad thing is that the bill would allow Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives BATFE to impose, for the first time, civil penalties on federal firearms licensees. Civil penalties could easily put a small licensee out of business, but can be imposed without the burden of proof, disclosure requirements, and other protections accorded criminal defendants. And, although proponents argue that civil penalties will allow BATFE to impose penalties short of license revocation, there is no requirement that license revocations be reduced commensurately -- and it's pretty clear (and GOA has in fact been told) that this anti-gun provision was added as an inducement for the support of Leahy and Obama. And, while GOA has pushed other provisions in the bill tightening state-of-mind requirements and gun definitions, these are not enough to offset giving the BATFE a tool which has served as the central engine for expanding the power and jurisdiction of other agencies (like the SEC).

S. 1317 Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act of 2009 (Lautenberg): This bill would allow the Attorney General to deny the purchase of a firearm pursuant to an Instant check (or a permit which would allow a person to by-pass the Instant check) if he “suspect[s]” that the person has been engaged in conduct “related to terrorism” and the Attorney General has a “reasonable belief” that the firearm might be used in connection with terrorism. The Attorney General is specifically permitted to withhold any information concerning his “reasonable belief.” Take into consideration, in evaluating the application of this bill, that DHS in 2009 circulated an advisory attempting to link mainline Second Amendment and pro-life groups to “terrorism” -- and a number of recent newspaper commentaries have argued that groups like GOA and the NRA are, in some way, responsible for criminal acts recently committed in Pittsburgh and Wichita.

I heard the feds are attempting to make HR45 law by by adding it to the Internal Revenue Act of 1986 as an amendment. Have you heard anything about that?
Comment by Guardian on November 27, 2009 at 4:35pm
The way to make these things stop... is to make it illegal for business and corporations to fund or contribute money to any government candidate/official. We are a country of pay-to-play politics and it needs to stop! Wallstreet and our government are in bed together. Voting is a way for the government to make American's feel "involved". The only real involvement we have is picking the face for the guy Wallstreet has already chosen. The buying and selling of our representatives ( I use the term representative loosely) is costing the American people our freedoms. America do not let our freedoms and liberties be sold to the highest bidder!!!
