• On March 30, 2009, by Theultimateg - Lets rename HR875 by adding cosmetics and hope the public doesn't catch on!!!! Don't let these guys slip this under the radar. Substantial fees will put small farmers out of business and create a monopoly for large corporations. I object to being force fed by Monsanto and the like. Write your representatives and urge them to oppose this bill, that is of course unless you want to be force fed by large corporations. This video explains it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGZL6q-3LOw

• On July 05, 2009, by EvelynB - This is yet another bill being pushed through that is about control of our food supply not food safety. Until the corporate influence of the Argo industry is removed from all these bills none should be passed. These bills are about promoting industrial farming and destroying small farms and ranches as well as local and organic farming. They are about controlling the people by controlling our food supply. They are full of unconstitutional actions and infringements on our basic freedoms.

• On June 15, 2009, by fellowamerican - This bill seems to be another attempt to raise money to fill the pockets of the Treasury and gain more control over the people and Small farmers of America (with the guise of protecting the people).
