Have you seen this? At least someone isn't taking it lying down!

If you support this, please get in touch with your State Legislator(s) and Senators and encourage them to become co-sponsors!

The Vermont Resolution for Food Sovereignty

WHEREAS All people are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; and

WHEREAS Food is human sustenance and is the fundamental prerequisite to life; and

WHEREAS The basis of human sustenance rests on the ability of all people to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products; and

WHEREAS We the People of Vermont, have an obligation to protect these rights as is the Common and Natural Law; and in recognition of the State’s proud agricultural heritage; and the necessity of agricultural, ecological and economic diversity and sustainability to a free and healthy Society;

THEREFORE, Be it resolved, that We The People, stand on our rights under the 10th Amendment to the US Constitution and reject such Federal decrees, statutes, regulations or corporate practices that threaten our basic human right to save seed, grow, process, consume and exchange food and farm products within the State of Vermont; and,

Be it further resolved, that We The People, shall resist any and all infringements upon these rights, from whatever sources that are contrary to the rights of the People of the State of Vermont.

Love it! I have been following the food safety bill for months, contacting my reps in MA and RI, after moving. My reps voted for the bill and one replied to my emails about the dangers of the legislation by boasting about how much work he did on this important bill! I am so angry/freaked about it! 

That's it...I moving to Vermont! (I wish)

At least the state of VT is standing up to our right to eat whole, healthy food!
