Hi

I s the following true

US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on a bill that
will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875)

US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on a bill that
will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 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 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 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!
Scroll down for more details on the bill.
Scroll down for WHAT YOU CAN DO.
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!

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.

** 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.
