Stage 3 ‘Live It’: Beck Launches Massive Food Drive in Effort to Fight Nanny State

Glenn Beck is dedicating the week to unveiling a four-part plan to reclaim the personal liberties that have been slipping away from American society. On Monday, he asked Americans to “commit” to a high standard of conduct and to a plan of action, and on Tuesday evening, he launched a major voter registration effort that is already realizing substantial results. On Wednesday evening, Beck revealed the third phase of his initiative focused on curbing the power of politicians like New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Obama regulatory “czar,” Cass Sunstein, in their push to grow the already overblown Nanny State.  Beck noted that the Federal Register of all government regulations is over 80,000 pages long. 

Blaze readers are likely already familiar with the unsettling string of state-led crackdowns on children’s lemonade stands, student as well as city-wide bans on fatty foods, bake-sales, smoking, unpasteurized milk, and now, sugary Big Gulps. Worse still, is that homeless shelters and soup kitchens across nearly a dozen states are now rejecting quality food donations based on their perceived salt or sugar content.

In other words, government is attempting to thwart people from being humanitarians.
