Your Freedom to Choose Safe Food As Risk

Dear Friends, 

The one time chemical company, now Agricultural company, Monsanto, is behind a Bill that would require all farmers and home gardeners to use specific fertilizers and insect sprays. This could mean an inspector coming out to your home to inspect your garden!  Currently, 60-75% of the food consumed by US citizens is genetically modified and this has all happened just in the last 10 years. Monsanto is the King of Genetically engineered foods and apparently, the wife of a Monsanto board board member, is the one pushing this Bill through. Before getting into the food business, Monsanto was the company that brought us Agent Orange, DDT, Aspartame, Bovine Growth Hormone, and many others.  

Monsanto’s #1 selling product is Roundup, the chemical weed killer. And the way these GM food companies are so quickly gaining control of our nations food, is by engineering seeds that produce plants that are Roundup resistant.  This allows farmers to crop spray without worry.  Another catch is that they have engineered their seeds to terminate themselves after one season. This means every year farmers have to go back to the seed company as opposed to using the seeds naturally produced from the previous season.  

I could drop fact after fact, like the precancerous cells that have developed in animals in clinical studies that were fed GM foods, as well as numerous unethical business practices done by Monsanto and other GMO companies.  The UK got hip to the GM reality and has banned all GM foods.  We need to follow suit. In a ABC poll, 93% of Americans wanted all GM foods to be labeled. In 1992 George Bush Sr. mandated that all GM foods were as safe as organic food, and accepted safety studies done by the GMO companies themselves! 

What’s not helping is Obama appointing Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto executive, whose career literally fits the definition of the revolving door between government, lobbying, and corporate interests.  And irradiation proponent Michael Osterholm (irradiation is the practice of nuking diseased/contaminated food at the end of the line instead of finding the cause of the diseased food), are slotted to hold top “food safety” spots on the new Administration. 
 

I hope you have already received this email several times now (as I have) and have made several calls to your local congressperson. 

If not, it’s time to.

Directions below. 

US House and Senate are about (in less than a week) to vote on bill that will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875). There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next week before people realize what is happening.

Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto  - chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related agri-giants). This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by a newly formed agency to “make sure there is no danger to the public food supply”. This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.

If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.

Here’s a link that gives you an idea how this can be happening:

To read the bill, you can go to http://thomas.loc.gov and enter HR875 in the search box after selecting “Bill Number”.option under the search box.

The name on this outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).

THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTETIVES TODAY! Get on that phone and burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing. The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss of their position…. They only fear your voice and your vote.

The best thing to do is go to www.house.gov/writerep all you have to do is put in your zip and it will give you your congressperson and how to get in touch with them.  When you call their office someone will answer the phone, just tell them (politely) that you are calling to express your views on HR 875.  Tell them your views, they’ll take your name and address and pass your comments along to the congressperson.  The following linkhttp://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm is a list of the U.S. senators and their contact info.
