Default Monsanto trying to sneak GM crops into food supply

A one-line amendment in the huge agriculture bill now under consideration would require the secretary of agriculture to grant permits for planting or cultivating GM crops – even if a federal court has given an injunction against it. This amendment would would strip judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights and the environment.

Please sign a petition calling to stop the unregulated frankenfood Invasion.

Okay, I did it but it makes me very nervous to submit personal information into a web form like that.

If you live in the U.S., and you haven't taken counter-measures, your personal information is in the database of about 20 national data brokers and sold daily. Submitting your personal information in a web form so that a legislator knows a genuine constituent is speaking up isn't telling the world anything it doesn't already know.

Thanks, WereBear. I don't post political stuff to FB, because at least one study has found that doing so gets you de-friended, unless, of course, all your friends are highly political and doing the same.
