Good that this is getting attention, and from the supreme court too.From: Center for Food Safety <info@...>Subject: Update: CFS Fighting Monsanto in the Supreme Court!"Michele Horton" <epifany97523@...>Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 10:05 AM

Dear Michele,

Update: CFS Fighting

Monsanto in the Supreme Court! On

Tuesday April 27, 2010 the United States Supreme Court heard

argument in the Center for Food Safety’s case against

Monsanto (Monsanto v Geertson Seed Farms), the

first-ever Supreme Court case about genetically engineered

crops. To briefly recap, the Center for Food Safety (CFS)

spent the last four years successfully litigating against

Monsanto and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)

regarding the illegality of Monsanto’s

pesticide-promoting, Roundup Ready Alfalfa. We sued on

behalf of our membership, representing a broad coalition of

organic and conventional farmers who wished to retain the right

to sow non-GE crops without contamination; public interest

environmental organizations focused on the foreseeable

environmental impacts of the crops on biodiversity; and

consumers who demand the right to choose to eat GE-free,

including many of you.

Watch a short message

from our Executive Director, Kimbrell, and

a short film about the

case!

We believe that the Supreme Court argument went well for

CFS. Our legal team did a great job, in a hostile and

challenging environment, against great odds. A decision is

expected in June and there are many possible outcomes.

However, we still have a fighting chance. We will let you

know as soon as we hear word.

We could not do this

important but immensely difficult work without your continued

support and generosity. Because of you,

CFS has been able to take on Monsanto, one of the most powerful

corporations in the world, and repeatedly win, driving them all

the way to the Supreme Court. CFS is still in need of

your support for this groundbreaking legal case against

Monsanto, to help cover legal fees and other costs associated

with this case. Support is also needed so we can continue our

legal and grassroots work to protect the food supply and hold

the government and biotechnology companies such as Monsanto

accountable for their actions.

Regardless of the outcome of this case, we are committed to

protecting the interests of consumers, farmers, and the

environment -- fighting the impacts of industrial agriculture

and promoting the sustainable alternatives, through litigation

where necessary. CFS must continue our work to achieve

more ground-breaking victories in protecting the future of our

food and our environment.

GMOs. Together, we can create a new food future for ourselves,

our farms, and our families.
