A so-called "Monsanto rider," 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 a petition on SignOn.org to the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and President Barack Obama was created, which says: Stop the Monsanto rider. Unless the Senate or a citizen's army of farmers and consumers can stop them, the House of Representatives is likely to ram this dangerous rider through any day now. <http://www.moveon.org/r?r=277161&id=46338-17965448-eeEUO5x&t=2> Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.
