Action Alert: Stop the Monsanto Protection Act

[Le Taz Hot]

I just got a notice from the www.fooddemocracynow.org organization and wanted to give everyone a head up. Monsanto is trying to sneak this into the Continuing Resolution Bills being debated now. Please consider writing your Congresscritter TODAY (see link below -- the vote is expected Friday) and let them know you are paying attention and that you care about Monsanto taking over our seed supply, thereby controlling our ability to grow frankenfood-free food.

Here's the communication:

Stop the Monsanto Protection Act!

Once again, Monsanto and the biotech industry are working behind closed doors to undermine your basic rights. This time they’ve gone too far! As your Senators debate the Continuing Resolution spending bill, biotech lobbyists have desperately snuck provisions into the spending bill to make sure their new GMO crops can evade any serious scientific or regulatory review.

In the past, legal advocates have successfully won in court the right to halt the sale and planting of unapproved GMO crops while the approval of those crops is under review by a federal judge. This dangerous new House provision, which we're calling the Monsanto Protection Act, would strip judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, consumers and the environment.

Join us in putting a stop to the Monsanto Protection Act!
