OWS Journal, July 2012: Monsanto's Rider Ready For 2013 Bill.

1. Thanks Sabrina for your link to come over here to read this.

It's a powerful read. Wish I'd seen this to read before.

I'm glad I posted my post out on GD, though, because many were not aware of that this Monsanto Amendment had been in the bill for a YEAR. And, pointing out the the Amendments to try to strike the Monsanto Rider weren't even brought to a vote points out that so much of this ends up being just a sham with these votes, particularly those "cliff hanger" all night votes where you wake up and it's done...BOOM! and it takes weeks to find out what the details are and how they will affect the people.

Its definitely discouraging that the Environmental/Food Safety Groups's efforts weren't powerful enough to get this Rider out of the Bill.

Hopefully more attention to how much influence these groups have over Obama and Democrats will begin to wake more people up to how dangerous this is for the health of our people and our planet.
