I've been getting e-mails about "new bill could outlaw organic farming." Just about all from Ron Paul supporters (who love to e-mail us at newspapers). Here's the the gist, below. Most of what I've read online in blogs (and their comments) is way overwrought, in my opinion. Reminds me of talk radio....

Is anyone blogging/writing about Bill HR 75, the proposed regulation of small farms and gardens? 
Article here: http://blog.friendseat.com/rosa-delauro-hates-small-farms1/ 

I'm wading through the actual bill right now.... discouraging.
