[MPWG] organic farming threatened by Monsanto : seed rights and pesticides!

[myron hardesty]

They are hoping we don't care......
agri business and the loss of the family farm is the reason our food  
has become polluted and poisonous. More pesticides on our food to  
generate stronger and stronger bugs ( while killing the topsoil  
microorganisms necessary for conversion of nutrients) is equivalent  
to the overuse of antibiotics in the hospital that simultaneously  
destroy our own gut flora. Biodiversity (in this case: multiple  
family farms and back yard gardens ) is the only sane and sustainable  
defense against this sad eventuality. Your right to clean food and an  
unpolluted community are in jeopardy. PLEASE TAKE ACTION : WRITE YOUR  
REP TODAY ! Time is short, please forward

**************************************

  Please tell everyone who wants organic foods.....US House and  
Senate are about (in a week and a half) 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 Monsanto – chemical and  
genetic engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35  
other related agri-giants). 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?

The name on this outrageous food plan is: Food Safety Modernization  
Act of 2009 (bill HR 875). THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO  
ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE  
REPRESENTETIVES TODAY! Get on that phone and burn up the wires. Get  
anyone else you can to do the same thing. The House and Senate WILL  
pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss of their  
position.... They only fear your voice and your vote.

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.

TAKE ACTION TODAY!!
