It is still possible to stop this law, but it will take a miracle. Your Senators and House Members need to know you have a long memory when it comes to the cost of your food. That you will never forgive or forget if he or she votes for this legislation with food prices already running away for all to see. That’s why we call it The Money and Food Incineration Act of 2008.
Most of the Democrats and about 100 Republicans already have voted for the “Farm Bill”twice. A good number need to switch to a “NO” they will not overrided a veto. If they do, you are going to be stuck with much higher meat prices in addition to every other rising cost at the supermarket. This law cannot end any other way!
Only by vertue of a small miracle of bureaucratic blunders is there a second chance. The “Farm Bill” already passed once, was vetoed, and that veto was overridden…but the Congress did something right by accident. It got its bills mixed up and overrode the president’s veto of a bill it had never technically passed in the first place, so they had to do it all over again.
In the meantime a flood has come, maybe sent by God to wake up the cowardly Congress, and it has ravished the
“The Flood” has focused a lot of attention on the food supply. Corn prices have gone out of orbit, almost $8.00 per bushel. But don’t blame the flood, blame ethanol. For in spite of the realatively few acres of corn that are drowned out, the crop will probably make a record because rain help millions of acres. Rain brings corn!
The real reason for high grain prices is the record consumption to produce ethanol that we are now forced to buy at a pump price of $4.00 per gallon even though it gets 15% less miles per gallon than gas does. And to make matters worse this very “Farm Bill” provides a $.46 per gallon subsidy to everyone in the ethanol chain, the agribusiness producer down to the giant corn producers. You have to pay them for producing something you don’t even want but are forced to buy!
One more time!
I am not talking about a few gallons or a few dollars. The farm bill subsidies billions of gallons of this obnoxious booze-fuel. It will consume up to five billion bushels of precious animal and human food called corn, but it also creates a shortage of cooking oil, meat, bread, rice and about every other food. The markets for each of these commodities has gone straight up almost every day since Congress again passed what we call The Money and Food Incineration Act of 2008.
Here is what is expected. The President, to his credit, vetoed this bill (again) today. Congress is expected to instantly override the veto and re-pass this Farm Bill and make it the law for years to come. According to Congressman Flake’s office (who opposes the bill) the House will meet today to, Wednesday June 18, for a “veto override debate.” At least one Congressman, Jeff Flake will be there speak against overriding the veto. Congressman Ron Paul will also be there to oppose the bill.
Your Congressman and your Senators needs to know that you know what is about to happen and you will NEVER, NEVER forgive him if he supports an override. I suggest you call the Senator’s first because they will vote last.
Make him understand that you know this bill is at the very root of high priced food, mass starvation world wide, as well as, the destruction of your money by outrageous subsidies to people who don’t need it. Tell him you are only one person but you will tell everyone you know or meet about him and what he is doing until he is out of office. And be sure you mean it!
