Food Democracy Now | Obama signs Monsanto Protection Act! It's Time to Label GMOs!
We regret to inform you that late last night President Barack Obama signed H.R. 933, which contained the Monsanto Protection Act into law. President Obama knowingly signed the Monsanto Protection Act over the urgent pleas of more than 250,000 Americans who asked that he use his executive authority to veto it. President Obama failed to live up to his oath to protect the American people and our constitution.
Today we’re calling on President Obama to issue an executive order to call for the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.
Not only is GMO labeling a reasonable and common sense solution to the continued controversy that corporations like Monsanto, DuPont and Dow Chemical have created by subverting our basic democratic rights, but it is a basic right that citizens in 62 other countries around the world already enjoy, including Europe, Russia, China, India, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.
Join us in demanding mandatory labeling of GMO foods. Now's the time!

Food Democracy Now | Congress passes Monsanto Protection Act, All hands on deck!
We regret to inform you, but today Congress succeeded in passing Section 735, aka the Monsanto Protection Act, in the Continuing Resolution spending bill. Once again, Monsanto and the biotech industry have used their lobbying power to undermine your basic rights. We need you to contact Congress and tell them you are outraged. With the Senate passage of the Monsanto Protection Act, biotech lobbyists are one step closer to making sure that their new GMO crops can evade any serious scientific or regulatory review.
This dangerous provision, which we're calling the Monsanto Protection Act, strips judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer and farmer rights and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, citizens and the environment.
We are asking that you take action here and then call Congress to shut down their phone lines until Section 735 is removed from the CR before the President signs. Join us in putting a stop to the Monsanto Protection Act!

Support GMO cancer research
Why this is important
A 2012 study by Professor Gilles-Eric Séralini’s team at the University of Caen, France showed that eating GM maize and low doses of the Roundup pesticide with which it is grown damaged the health of rats over the long term ( gmoseralini.org for more information ). Other studies on GM foods also show toxic effects.

Democratic Governors Association (DGA) | TELL HOUSE REPUBLICANS: STOP THE SEQUESTER
Add your name and tell House Republicans to stop putting millionaire tax breaks before the middle class.
The deadline to prevent the sequester is only days away. If House Republicans don't act soon, brutal, indiscriminate cuts will cost our economy over two million jobs.
President Obama and House Democrats agree: it's wrong to ask the middle class the bear the full burden of these cuts while billionaires get to keep their tax breaks.
Follow the link to sign.
