Thought that endorsing Romney was bad enough? In another turn of events that exposes the corporatist leanings of Rand Paul, Senator from Kentucky, he has voted NO on a GMO labeling amendment to the farm bill “to permit States to require that any food, beverage, or other edible product offered for sale have a label on indicating that the food, beverage, or other edible product contains a genetically engineered ingredient.” The following is taken from the United States Senate Website.
Comment
He wasn't voting on a Bill. He was voting on an amendment to this:
Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act of 2012 (Placed on Calendar Senate - PCS)[S.3240.PCS][PDF]
The amendment was proposed by:
Sponsor: Sen Sanders, Bernard[VT] (submitted 6/11/2012) (proposed 6/21/2012)
AMENDMENT PURPOSE:
To permit States to require that any food, beverage, or other edible product offered for sale have a label on indicating that the food, beverage, or other edible product contains a genetically engineered ingredient.
TEXT OF AMENDMENT AS SUBMITTED: CR S3917
Conclusion, Rand Paul just voted AGAINST an Amendment that would require States to label all food, beverages, or other edible products offered for sale that contain GMO ingredients.
It would appear as if Rand Paul has sold out...
I would like to see what else was in the Bill that he may have voted against. If it's not that, then the only other two explanations are, 1) he agreed to vote no on this Bill to garner votes for another more important Bill, 2) or dude is a complete sell out.
Got link to the Bill?
