Black Vegetarian Society of Georgia

Legistlators are about to sign a bill that OUTLAWS ORGANIC FARMING (Bill HR 875)

Greetings!

I'm sure you are well aware that this tug-of-war between agricultural corporations and all those who

support natural and organic farming is not new; you will remember, I spoke of this in my book 7 Steps to Healing & Wellness.

The message in this email is being forwarded to you as I have received it:

"Please read carefully through the following information. When you're finished, please make the calls and send this to everyone including small local farms that you know. This is really frightening and substantially takes away our crucial rights. We must do all we can to ensure that something like this is never allowed to happen."

When we exercise our rights, we secure them.

Most sincerely your partner in health,

Dear Friends,

US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on a bill that OUTLAWS ORGANIC FARMING (Bill HR 875). The name on this outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 ... And, there is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening.

This bill must have been handled in a really stealthy manner, since it came out of nowhere in the last week. No doubt, the way it's backers, "the Agri-Giants" wanted it. Perhaps a coincidence with "Spring Break" and many people out of town in the weeks before. With enough congressmen signing bills without reading them, there's no time to sleep on this one. How do you organize all these small farmers to fight the big guys? Spread it far and wide my friends.

Make a noise.

The 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 a 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 will be allowed, but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.

Here's a link that gives you an idea how this can be happening and information about the bill:

For getting the scoop by video, here are a couple more links:

[here too]

THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTATIVES 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.

Again, the best thing to do is to go to the gov site: [click] all you have to do is put in your zip code, 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.

Monsanto is trying to make "organic" illegal

I have watched hours of youtube videos pertaining to Monsanto. I am convinced, that amongst stiff competition, Monsanto is easily the most evil corporation on the planet. Please help by taking action asap!! This is serious. This is a typical corporate ploy to pull "a fast one" while everyone is looking the other way. (i.e. the economy).

Thanks Robert Trafeli
