3/25/13 - MONSANTO
Your health is in jeopardy!
In
the typical slippery nature of Monsanto’s legislation-based actions, the
biotech giant is now virtually guaranteed the ability to recklessly
plant experimental GM crops without having to worry about the U.S.
government and its subsequent courts. The Monsanto Protection Act buried
deep within the budget resolution has passed the Senate, and now
nothing short of a presidential veto will put an end to the ruling. In case
you’re not familiar, the Monsanto Protection Act is the name given to what’s
known as a legislative rider that was inserted into the Senate Continuing
Resolution spending bill. Using the deceptive title of Farmer Assurance
Provision, Sec. 735 of this bill actually grants Monsanto the immunity from
federal courts pending the review of any GM crop that is thought to be
dangerous . . .
