What You Can Do Now to Help Rosie

It is truly unfathomable that our country has degenerated to the point where a person can no longer garden without permission from bureaucratic thugs who get paid with our hard earned tax dollars to think up these rules – not laws - rules that have never been voted on by the elected representatives of the citizens expected to abide by those rules.

If you recall, this is exactly the sort of authoritarian insanity that started the American Revolutionary War (tea party anyone?).

Tell the USDA where it can put its “rules” against gardening by those living in rural, subsidized areas.

You can either sign the petition to save Rosie’s garden by clicking here [www.causes.com] or send an outraged letter directly to Elsie Meeks, State Director for South Dakota, USDA Rural Development Agency.

Four-year-old girl living in subsidized housing gets to keep vegetable garden, no thanks to USDA

Word about the situation quickly got out across the internet, resulting in thousands of letters being sent to the USDA, urging a reversal of the decision to move Rosie's garden. In response, the USDA claimed that there are, in fact, no rules forbidding gardens in subsidized housing complexes, a positive response. And yet, at the same time, the agency refused to actually go to bat for Rosie, instead leaving the situation in a state of indefinite limbo. The complex itself finally had to make its own decision on the matter.

Housing complex agrees to build Rosie her own raised garden bed without guidance from USDA

Fortunately, the end result was a positive one, as Rosie and her neighbors will very soon have their own raised planting bed for cultivating all sorts of fruits and vegetables to help support themselves. But the USDA is still nowhere to be found in publicly setting the record straight, which would ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. According to the latest reports, the USDA has simply disappeared, refusing to further comment on the situation and in turn demonstrating its complete uselessness as an agency that claims to protect rural vitality.
