A dollar by dollar list of which Senators got paid off how much and by whom to support S.510, the "Food Safety and Modernization Act".  Yes, that's the one which, by many reports, will "protect" you by, for example, making it illegal for you to grow your own food, and is probably going to kill small growers, farm stands and farmers' markets.  Yeah, that's JUST what we need right now, put another entire segment of the economy out of work and, at a single stroke, raise the average cost of food....

"No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the Legislature is in session." — Samuel Clemens

Apparently, neither is any man's livelihood.  Isn't it about time we had a Legislature that WASN'T for sale or rent to the highest bidder?
