OR-Sen: Sign Jeff Merkley's (D) Petition Calling For The Repeal Of The Monsanto Protection Act

DailyKos:

Received this e-mail from Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR):

My Friends, It's one of the most outrageous special interest provisions in years. Written anonymously, the Monsanto Protection Act allows corporations to sell genetically-modified seeds even when federal courts have blocked them from doing so. Think about that: We have a process for making sure that genetically-modified seeds aren’t sold, planted and grown until we know that they don’t pose a threat to other crops or to humans.   The Monsanto Protection Act overrides that process.  

It lets Monsanto and others ignore a court order designed to protect other farmers, the environment, and human health.   That’s just wrong. Please sign my petition to repeal the Monsanto Protection Act: http://www.jeffmerkley.com/... And even worse, the Monsanto Protection Act was passed in secret, stuffed quietly into the budget bill that averted a government shutdown. That's why I've proposed an amendment to the Farm Bill that would repeal the Monsanto Protection Act. Please join me - and demand a vote in the U.S. Senate that would end this outrageous special interest override of judicial decisions: http://www.jeffmerkley.com/... Senator Jeff Merkley
