We regret to inform you, but this
morning Congress succeeded in passing Section 735, aka the Monsanto
Protection Act, in the Continuing Resolution spending bill.
We need you to contact President Obama before he signs it and HR 933 becomes law.
With the passage of the Monsanto
Protection Act in Congress, 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 rights and the environment,
while opening up the floodgates for the planting of new untested
genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, consumers and the
environment.
We are asking that you take
action here and then call President Obama and Congress to shut down
their email and phone lines until Section 735 is removed from the
continuing resolution. Join us in putting a stop to the Monsanto Protection Act!
