Thank you for helping to debunk that nasty rumor, Paul.
You are a true gentleman and a scholar! ;^))

Rumors circulating on the web start to wear away at ones peace of mind.
I will be sleeping a little better tonight knowing the truth!

There is no "Monsanto bill".

There is HR 875 which is only one among several bills pending in
agriculture committee, and no bill is ever introduced that gets through
both houses and gets signed without major changes in it. 875 was introduced
by Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D –CT) whose husband once had Monsanto as a
business client. The company has nothing to do with it. This wild story has
been circulating all over the Internet for weeks, and it's getting moldy.
The actual bill said nothing about organic gardening. Go to
organicconsumers.org for more on it.
