ACTION ALERT!
Please sign this letter today and forward this e-mail to friends.  
Thank you.
No to transgenic maize! No to genetically modified corn!

You are invited by Red en Defensa del Maíz of Mexico to join them in  
sending a strong message to:
--the Mexican government
--the Convention on Biological Diversity / Cartagena Protocol on  
Biosafety and
--the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations / FAO.

The indigenous and peasant organizations and communities,  
environmental organizations, popular education organizations, base  
organizations, ecclesiastical communities, groups of producers,  
members of urban movements, scholars, scientists, and political  
analysts of the Network In Defense of Maize vigorously repudiate the  
planting of transgenic maize in Mexico. It is a historic crime  
against the peoples of maize, against biodiversity and food  
sovereignty, against ten thousand years of indigenous and peasant  
agriculture that bequeathed this seed for the well being of all the  
peoples of the world.

It is urgent to respond to a Mexican presidential decree of March 6,  
2009 which now permits the planting of transgenic maize.

Thank you for participating.  Please ask your friends and family to  
join in sending this urgent message to your senator.
