Discourses and musings from a second Saturn return

Monsanto verses Organic Farming

I just finished watching the video clips on Youtube.com about the organic farming bill that is trying to get passed into law very soon. This is such a blatant, vile and outrageous attempt on the part of big corporations (Monsanto) that I am afraid they will get it passed. What does that mean for all of us? Watch the video clips and if you are as outraged as I am, sign the petition and then send this email out to everyone that cares about the food they eat. If we are to sustain an equitable society, global not local, we cannot allow corporations to have this kind of power anymore. The power of a society belongs to the people who make up that society. Speak and be part of the solution, or be quiet and become part of the controlled masses without representation or choice.

US House and Senate are about (in one 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 2 weeks before people realize what is happening.

Main backer and lobbyist is (guess who) Monsanto – chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation. This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the 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.

There is a video on the subject.

And another one:

Sign this petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Food-farms-seeds-HR875 and
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

is a list of the U.S. senators and their contact info.

Here is the website with the actual bill: http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h875/text
