Victory! Senate To Kill Monsanto Protection Act

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


In a major victory brought upon by serious activism and public outrage, new legislation changes will shut down the Monsanto Protection Act rider that granted Monsanto protection from legal action and was set to renew on September 30th.
 
This unprecedented move shows the true power of the anti-GMO, anti-Monsanto movement, and how elected officials are now being forced to side with the concerned population over the money-spewing Monsanto. After all, it was Monsanto who purchased its way into the initial Senate spending bill legislation via a rider dubbed the ‘Monsanto Protection Act’  through Senator Roy Blunt.  
 
Officially labeled the Farmer Assurance Provision under Sec. 735 of the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill, Senator Blunt was conveniently given over $64,000 by Monsanto before he handed the biotech corporation the ability to write its own legislation for the Monsanto Protection Act. 
 
This is fantastic, however, I feel like its very temporary and will be an ongoing battle so to all those GMO activists out there don’t give up, don’t let them breathe.  Continue your activism, your resistance peacefully and determined.  This is great news and should encourage you to continue the fight.  Monsanto deserve to be driven right into the ground with legal lawsuits and such until they are out of busness.  Then their executives should be tried and jailed for crimes against humanity.  What they do and grow has killed and maimed thousands all over the world, an example being holding them responsible for the suicides of numerous farmers in India.  

Good job everybody.  Keep fighting the good fight.  -Mort

      Lets keep this going into next year and throw the rats back in the sewer. We the people have the power, the government only exists because we let them.

      This is fantastic news for those of us who showed up at the Global March on Monsanto last May 25th, all those who wrote letters, signed petitions and lobbied their elected leaders to sponsor bills for state legislation. WE CAN CHANGE OUR WORLD FOR THE BETTER. But it will take ALL of us to do our civic duty. Monsanto is pure evil. They must be stopped.

      “Senator Blunt was conveniently given over $64,000 by Monsanto before he handed the biotech corporation the ability to write its own legislation for the Monsanto Protection Act.”

      Quite a few years ago, I remember seeing a TV interview with Senator Ernest Hollings, shortly after he’d retired. In that interview, he stated legislation is actually written by lobbyists, K Street lawyers, who own the politicians: the corporation or other special interest donates to the politician’s campaign, then the quid quo pro is they write their own legislation the politician submits on the floor of Congress. I couldn’t find a transcript of that interview online, but did find this more recent YouTube interview that touches on some of this:

      At the time of that interview, I found it shocking there was no public outrage afterward, as I know I’d never before heard that corporations who gave congressmen money were actually writing their own legislation, that the politicians weren’t even writing the laws! But not a peep out of people, yet what Mr. Hollings revealed in that interview quite shocking at the time.

      1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

      Matthew 7:18-20 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

      Please continue to support us defeat these One World Government organization that use people as test objects and make huge profits in the process.

      All family members related to Soros, Cheney, Obama, Clinton, Bush, … Gore, the legislators and the globalist should be restricted to only eat the food that protesters want banned.

      Fat chance!

      Really excellent news but yes, we do have to keep up the pressure and not let up for a moment! Don’t forget next Rise Up Against Monsanto day October 12th.

      Another aspect is to press for America to acknowledge the harm done by Agent Orange in Vietnam and then get Monsanto to pay real and meaningful compensation to all the victims and their families.

      That might just affect their balance sheet!

      Now just why is a pesticide and poison company have anything to do with food and seed production???

      Much love
