Does anyone know which states they are referring to? I haven't come up with any valid hits in my searches...

Dear Marty
BioDemocracy Under Attack in Missouri! Please act today.
The Organic Consumers Association and allies have learned that a “Monsanto” bill has been introduced in the Missouri legislature. This “preemption” bill would strip away the power of counties, cities and towns in Missouri to regulate genetically engineered (GE) seeds and takes away Missouri’s ability to enact anything more stringent than existing Federal regulations. Current Federal plant, seed, and food regulations, as you know, are notoriously weak and designed with the “Biotech Bullies” best interests in mind.
This latest attack in Missouri is part of a larger assault by Monsanto and the Farm Bureau on local BioDemocracy. In the last year, 14 U.S. states, prodded by Monsanto and the Farm Bureau, have made it illegal for local communities to ban GE crops. Another 5 states have preemption bills introduced in their state legislatures. The time is now to turn back the tide of the Biotech Bullies and promote BioDemocracy!
