Monsanto could get everything it wants for Christmas

Monsanto could get everything it wants for Christmas, unless we convince legislators this week to strip both the 2013 Agriculture Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5973) and the Farm Bill of dangerous riders that would give the biotech industry unprecedented power and immunity from not only an already-weakened review process, but also from federal law.

Here’s what’s at stake. Attached to the Agricultural Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5973) is the “Farmers Assurance Provision” (Section 733), which Monsanto convinced House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Rep. Kingston (R-GA) to attach to the original version. The rider, aptly renamed the “Monsanto Protection Act, is nothing more than a sneak attack on American farmers, consumers and the environment. If passed, it would give Monsanto immunity from federal law by allowing the biotech industry to plant genetically modified crops, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed.


Sign the petition now to stop this bill before it's too late!
