Nenah, I just signed it too. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Melly ========================== From: Nenah Sylver <nenahsyl...@cox.net> To: Nenah Sylver <nenahsyl...@cox.net> Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 12:47 PM Subject: CS>please sign petition: Monsanto's latest attack
A so-called "Monsanto rider," quietly slipped into the multi-billion dollar FY 2013 Agricultural Appropriations bill, would require—not just allow, but require—the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop, even if a federal court has ordered the planting be halted until an Environmental Impact Statement is completed. That's why a petition on SignOn.org to the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and President Barack Obama was created, which says: Stop the Monsanto rider. Unless the Senate or a citizen's army of farmers and consumers can stop them, the House of Representatives is likely to ram this dangerous rider through any day now. Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends. Thanks!
