From Frederick Ravid, Author: "Tell Obama To Cease FDA Ties to Monsanto:"
Please CALL the White House at (202) 456-1111 anytime after 9am Eastern MONDAY 3/25/13 (tomorrow) and say:

"This is __(name)______ , a registered voter from __(city, state)_________. I am calling with an urgent request that President Obama strike Section 735 from the 2013 Continuing Resolution. The rider defeats our country's constitutionally guaranteed Separation of Powers between the Legislature and the Courts, by prohibiting the Courts from exercising their role regarding USDA Regulation and the nation's food safety. Please remove this harmful rider. Thank you."

The 2013 Continuing Resolution is now on the President's desk awaiting signature. It contains a rider we strongly oppose, and Mr. Obama CAN prevent from becoming law. With a groundswell of public outcry, it's far easier for us to persuade the President. Please do your part NOW. Don't delay - the bill is awaiting the President's signature.

Send me an email to info@proorganic.org -
Let me know you got this!


Thanks,

Frederick Ravid

Senate passes Monsanto Protection Act

Dear Friend,

We regret to inform you, but this morning Congress succeeded in passing
Section 735, aka the Monsanto Protection Act, in the Continuing Resolution
spending bill.

We need you to contact President Obama before he signs it and HR 933
becomes law.

With the passage of the Monsanto Protection Act in Congress, biotech
lobbyists are one step closer to making sure that their new GMO crops can
evade any serious scientific or regulatory review.

This dangerous provision, which we're calling the Monsanto Protection Act,
strips judges of their constitutional mandate to protect consumer rights
and the environment, while opening up the floodgates for the planting of
new untested genetically engineered crops, endangering farmers, consumers
and the environment.

We are asking that you take action here and then call President Obama and
Congress to shut down their email and phone lines until Section 735 is
removed from the continuing resolution. Join us in putting a stop to the
Monsanto Protection Act!
