Everyone with access to them should read the three bills and be aware of what they are actually saying and their implications. Then they should advise congress quickly about whether they like the bills or not. These bills seek to regulate the most basic element of life. They can't be accepted without reading them.
Any one of these alone provides too much regulating power to the government IMO. They don't target small farms or organic farms openly, but the end result will be that small farms cannot meet the regulatory expenses and will be put under.
Together these bills make a formidable triad. Too much attention is being paid to HR 875, and not enough to the other two.
Open Congress (http://www.opencongress.org) is a great place to find the actual text of bills so you don't have to rely on BoingBoing to interpret it - you can interpret it yourself.
