Fwd: voice against bill to outlaw organic farming!

[Guest guest]

hello friends,

 

 

this is too amazing to believe, but seems to be quite a reality. i checked

the snopes & hoaks websites and it wasn't there... and i found the bill on

the gov website.

it looks like there are two bills - one in the senate and one in the house

geared to demolish organic farming. one goes as far as requiring home

gardens to be sprayed with pesticides. please, do your part in letting our

government know how you feel about a deeper infringement on how we move,

live, and now eat in the world.

 

US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that

will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875)http://www.govtrack .us/congress/

billtext. xpd?bill= h111-875. 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 (guess who) Monsanto – chemical and genetic

engineering giant corporation. This bill will require all farms, including

organic, 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.

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 REPRESENTATIVES TODAY!

 

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. The following link
