Stop Genetically Engineered Food

[Guest guest]

Hi ArnoldMonsanto has used its money and influence to push Congress to attach a rider to the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations bill that would effectively end judicial review of approvals of new genetically engineered crops.Rep. DeFazio will introduce an amendment to strike this Monsanto rider from the final Appropriations bill. The bill will be voted on today or tomorrow, so please contact your Representative today and urge their support of the DeFazio amendment to dump this dangerous provision!TAKE ACTION: http://www.capwiz.com/grassrootsnetroots/issues/alert/?alertid=61506976 & type=COIf this rider (Sec. 733) isn't removed, organic and non-GMO farmers will lose their access to the court system and they'll have no recourse when the U.S. Department of Agriculture illegally approves new genetically engineered crops that threaten to contaminate their fields and seed supplies. Monsanto's sneak attack is a response to successful lawsuits brought by the Center for Food Safety on behalf of organic and non-GMO farmers and seed growers that attempted to block planting of genetically engineered sugar beets and alfalfa while the USDA conducted a court-ordered review of the dangers of contamination.
