What to say...

I was speaking with a friend this afternoon and they said that when they called to talk about HR2749 they felt like a bumbling idiot. This is an intelligent person, she said she just didn't know what to say. Here is a simple script... Look up your representative's name find the number and just say this...

I am a constituent of Representative___________ and I am calling to ask him/her to support the Kaptur-Farr proposal to HR 2749, the Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009. I am also asking him/her to vote against HR 2749 unless the proposals included in the Kaptur-Farr letter are included in the final bill.

It may be too late, but we need to fight agaist this bill, or for the inclusion of this reasonable amendment... The problem is when you rush items through to fast things fall through the cracks. Things like small farmers.
