Obama's Food Police Put Millions of Americans Out of Work
Barack Obama's food police don't approve of what you're feeding your family, which is why they're implementing policies that will limit your access to the foods you love, and put millions of Americans out of work. To crack down on "bad parenting" and the evil food industry, the Obama administration has given the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), Food and Drug Administration(FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the task of imposing new restrictions on restaurants and food manufactures that will cause them to lose the ability to advertise their products, unless they comply with the government's new regulations.
The Administration claims that their war on food is an effort to combat childhood obesity by reducing the amount of sugar, sodium and fats in food. But according to Human Events, many of the foods that are being targeted are "...low in calories and fat," as well as those that are considered healthy foods, "... including hot breakfast cereals such as oatmeal, pretzels, popcorn, nuts, yogurt, wheat bread, bagels, diet drinks, fruit juice, tea, bottled water, milk and sherbet," - and any food that is marketed to children and teens ages 2 to 17, and doesn't meet the government's newly proposed requirements.
"Many of the foods targeted in this proposal are the same foods approved by the federal government for the WIC nutrition program for women, infants and children. 'This doesn't make any sense whatsoever,' said Beth Johnson, a dietician for Food Directions in Maryland. 'It's not going to do anything to help with obesity. These are decisions I want to make for my kids. These should not be government decisions.'"
We believe in protecting parents' right to buy the foods that are best for their families, if this includes sugary indulgences once in a while, so be it! Once the government declares a war on Cocoa Puffs, you know that you don't have much time before they come after your firearms and First and Second Amendment rights...the Supreme Court has already usurped our Fourth Amendment private property rights.
YOU can STOP this madness by demanding that members of Congress pass legislation that protects parents' right to parent. We don't want or need the government to implement its nanny-state policies!
The inter-agencies' regulations would also prohibit mom-and-pop restaurants from reaching new customers through advertising. These are the same types of restaurants where we often see the President eating hot dogs, burgers, fries and ice cream-products the Administration deems harmful. If Obama wants to keep Americans working and restaurants open, then he needs to stop devising new ways to control what Americans make, buy, eat and sell.

Parents know what is best for their children, and if they want to buy a Happy Meal, ice cream or Lucky Charms, they should have the right to do so-without the nanny-state banning their right to make these food purchasing decisions.
Unfortunately, the harmful effects of the government's food battle doesn't end at the check-out line, because theseproposed regulations will also lead to increased unemployment. Since food manufactures and restaurants won't be able to advertise if their products don't meet the government's imposed requirements, the domino effect will be felt across multiple industries, from loss advertising sales for television and radio stations, to every other venue where children and teens might be exposed to a food advertisement.
Obama's bad policies are impacting everything that we are allowed to buy, from vehicles and light bulbs, to the ads we can view on TV and the food products that are marketed to our families in the grocery store.
The Obama administration's food police must be stopped! If we continue down this path, we will see a drastic increase in unemployment, because millions of Americans will lose their jobs due to restaurant closures, loss of food manufacturing jobs, and lay-offs in the local media and advertising industries. TAKE ACTION, SEND YOUR FAXES NOW!
If the food manufactures don't implement the government's new regulations on their own, the government will not only ban them from advertising on "TV, radio, in print, on websites, packaging, point-of-purchase displays in stores, and product placement in movies; but will also ban food manufactures and restaurants from sponsoring events including sport teams and individual athletes; as well as philanthropic activities tied to branding opportunities."
This would mean the loss of millions of American jobs that depend on the $5.8 trillion that restaurants and food manufactures spend every year on marketing and advertising.
"The most disturbing aspect of this interagency working group is, after it imposes multibillions of dollars in restrictions on the food industry, there is no evidence of any impact on the scourge of childhood obesity," said Dan Jaffe, executive vice president of the Association of National Advertisers.
STOP THE OBAMA FOOD POLICE!
CLICK HERE to FAX every member of Congress to DEMAND that they stop the Obama administration's proposed regulations on the food industry that will put millions of Americans out of work!
Members of Congress need to hear from you today!
Sincerely,
Tony Adkins

They won't wake up, they are helping him do it. No one in Washington is on our side. No one in Washington is trying to defend the Constitution. It is on huge America hating cabal.
