My Daughter is a General Manager in a Raw & Organic Restaurant
so she is kept aware of all that is going on locally & globally i received this email from her & feel the need to share it with all of you .. Okay folks, this is real and if you've never been political before, here's your chance to make your voice heard. I just did it and it will literally take less than five minutes of your time! The U.S. house and senate are about to vote (in a week and a half!) on a law that will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING!! Main backer is (of course) Monsanto chemical and engineering giant corporation. This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and POISONOUS insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to "make sure there is no danger to the public food supply". This will include back yard gardens that grow food only for family use. If this passes. no more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with UNEXPECTED DISEASES in humans! There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next two weeks before the people realize what's happening. The insane bill is called "Food Safety and Modernization Act (Bill HR 875) Call Congressman Tom McClintock's office and tell them (politely) you'd like to vote NO on this bill. To make it easy for you, here's the numbers: Washington 202)225-2511 California 916)786-5560 If they don't ask, give them your name and city you are calling from. It's really easy and will only take a few minutes. If you care at all about our rights to eat foods WITHOUT CANCER CAUSING CHEMICALS in them call right now!! And PASS THIS ON to your ENTIRE email list!! Here's a bit about Monsanto: http://fooddemocracy.wordpress.com/2007/08/24/monsanto-the-bad-seed/ Here's a couple videos on the subject: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thE54K3PaTY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeWVkTU1s1E The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not MASSIVELY threatened with the loss of their position.... Their only fear is your voice and your vote! CALL THEM!!!

I don't believe such a law would pass thank you for making us aware going to look into this

don't you know it!!! Man..I was never that politically active before but there are soo many evil money hungry people out there they will stop at nothing to obtain all the world's money while they kill everyone & everything around them & it is so prevalent it is almost getting to be acceptable and we cannot let that happen ..., |

that law wont pass

You cannot have an organic garden without using organic methods, which means no harmful chemicals and pesticides. I believe that the email you received is bogus. Organic farming is getting pretty big and there are very strict rules before you can call it "organic"

I don't believe such a law would pass thank you for making us aware going to look into this There are soo many things hidden from the average everyday person's eyes like you and me who are not directly involved in the Natural Food industry If you could only talk to my Daughter and her co workers for a short while and sit in on their meetings, you would be amazed.. Your mind, heart & logic would be staggered as to what is going on and what we are up against But STILL Brave Honest Upright Men and Women Live & Move About |

here is the text of the bill. it's too long to post in here
I can't find anything in it specific to "organic food". it seems like it's mostly concerning control of disease and is a response to all the salmonella outbreaks but if anyone else wants to read it, here is the link http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h111-875 |

This was debated extensively a while back |

Quiet, Thanks for the link. Read through Sec. 2 regarding the purpose of the Law. There is nothing there targeting organically grown food. Rather the purpose of the law is to provide greater safe guards for our food supply.
