Who's Monsanto's best Shill in Congress?

[Guest guest]

This is from a mailing from " Organic Bytes " from the Organic Consumers

" Who's Monsanto's Best Friend in Congress?

Tom Philpott reported this week in Mother that Jack Kingston (R-GA) is the

Congressman responsible for inserting this " pro-industry provision that that has

nothing to do with agriculture appropriations. "

Kingston had already established himself as a friend of the industry. In April,

the Biotechnology Industry Organization, whose members include ag-biotech giants

Monsanto and DuPont, named him its " legislator of the year for 2011-2012. " BIO

declared Kingston a " champion of America's biotechnology industry " who has

" helped to protect funding for programs essential to the survival of

biotechnology companies across the United States. "

Are there any Members of Congress tough enough to stand up to Monsanto?

Rep. DeFazio (D-OR) will sponsor an amendment to the ag appropriations

bill that would nullify Kingston's Monsanto-friendly provision.

Ask your Member of Congress to support the DeFazio amendment! "
