I wrote our congressman. I hope others will. I asked ours to please support Rep. Peter Defrazio's amendment to eliminate the Monsanto rider below. Time is running out. Be sure to contact your Congressmen right now and demand their support for Rep. Peter DeFazio's amendment to eliminate the Monsanto rider from the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill, as well as their opposition to Sections 10011, 10013 and 10014 of the 2012 Farm Bill:
(http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_25711.cfm) From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Mon, 16 Jul 2012 09:47:04 -0700 Subject: CS>please sign petition: Monsanto's latest attack A so-called "Monsanto rider," quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require—not just allow, but require—the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. That's why a petition on SignOn.org to the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and President Barack Obama was created, which says: Stop the Monsanto rider. Unless the Senate or a citizen's army of farmers and consumers can stop them, the House of Representatives is likely to ram this dangerous rider through any day now. Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends. Thanks!
