Stop Monsanto's Sneak Attack on Organic & Non-GMO Farmers!
Monsanto has attached a rider to the U.S. House of Representatives' 2013 Agriculture Appropriations bill (Sec. 733) that would make it impossible for organic and non-GMO farmers and seed growers to defend themselves against GMO contamination.
The rider would allow new genetically engineered crops to be planted even when courts rule that the US Department of Agriculture has approved them illegally. According to the courts, this results in "the potential elimination of a farmer's choice to grow non-genetically engineered crops, or a consumer's choice to eat non-genetically engineered food."
