From my e-mail In-Box --
So-called "Monsanto riders," 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 I created a petition on SignOn.org to Congress and President
Barack Obama, which says: "Stop the Monsanto Riders."
Unless a citizen's army of farmers and consumers
can stop them, Congress is likely to ram these dangerous riders through
any day now.

Thanks!
