It's late, so let me see if I have this right:

- This bill is going to modify FFDCA (not sure how. Can't find it).

- More than half of the Congress get more money for being against it.

I'll be honest, unless you have tips for it, and even if it's interesting, I can't find myself to read the entire bill.

I guess all I need to know in general is that its for regulating the health of food. Snopes.com states that would be unfavorable for farmers because they're on rules.

And more than half of the Senators get more money for being for this restricting bill.

Am I right?

Among other things, it would criminalize the growing of food by private individuals for their own use -- outlawing gardens. There are a number of other provisions in it that are just flat evil.
