ACTION ALERT! BILL OUTLAWING ORGANIC FARMING! NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION!

BILL OUTLAWING ORGANIC FARMING! NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION!
Holistic Community
Subject: Bill outlawing organic farming! Needs imMediate action!
Dear Friends,
We feel the unhealthful consequences of the legislation discussed below to be so disconcerting it was important to send it to the entire Holistic Community.
Snopes and other sources indicate this is real.
The US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875).
There is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is happening.
Main backer and lobbyist is Monsanto – chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related agri-giants). 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 backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.
If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.
There is a video on the subject.

And another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeWVkTU1s1E
The name on this outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTETIVES TODAY!
Get on that phone and burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing. The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss of their position....they only fear your voice and your vote.
The best thing to do is go to http://pr1.netatlantic.com/t/9661579/7802966/598244/0/
All you have to do is put in your zip and it will give you your congressperson and how to get in touch with them.
When you call their office someone will answer the phone, politely and respectfully just tell them that you are calling to express your views on HR 875. Tell them your views, they'll take your name and address and pass your comments along to the congressperson. The following link http://pr1.netatlantic.com/t/9661579/7802966/598245/0/ is a list of the U.S. senators with their contact info.
Thank you all for taking such quick action on this important threat to our health and wellness.

Monsanto's Bt Cotton Kills the Soil as Well as Farmers
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/BtCottonKillsSoilandFarmers.php
The impact of GMO’s on soil organisms is not commonly studied. This is a vital lacunae because Bt toxin crops such as Mon 810 corn or Bt-cotton or Bt Brinjal have serious impact on beneficial soil organisms.

Monsanto's Many Attempts to Destroy All Seeds but Their Own
GO HERE:
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/03/07/Monsantos-Many-Attempts-to-Destroy-All-Seeds-but-Their-Own.aspx
Some say that if farmers don’t want problems from Monsanto, they simply shouldn’t buy Monsanto’s GMO seeds. But it isn’t quite that simple. Monsanto contaminates the fields, trespasses onto the land taking samples, and then sues, saying they own the crop.
Meanwhile, Monsanto is taking many other steps to keep farmers and everyone else from having any access at all to buying, collecting, and saving of normal seeds:

Is Organic Farming Killer Rep. Rosa DeLauro Becoming the Most Hated Woman in America? (I Hope So)
http://educate-yourself.org/cn/rosadelaurooppositiongrowing20mar09.shtml
Seems that Congresswoman Rosa De Lauro, the sponsor of HR 875, the (so called) Food Safety Modernization Act, has a husband employed by Monsanto, a company that would directly benefit from the provisions in her bill that threaten to destroy organic farmers and even backyard gardiners via threats of gigantic fines and massive red tape....
Please utilize the info below to raise bloody hell with De Lauro and your own member of Congress, and if you happen to live in the state of Connecticut, and can help me contact every organic gardening club in the state about this, please let me know your phone number.
We'll organize a Tsunami of opposition to this bill from De Lauro's constituents especially so it can be dutifully buried and De Lauro's congressional career appropriately ENDED.
Seeds - How To Criminalize Them
http://rense.com/general85/seeds.htm
Now, watch how they will be able to easily criminalize seed banking and all holding of seeds.
Although her articles are posted to assorted blogs and websites they don’t appear on Huffington Post, Daily Kos or other mainstream sites. So why is Opednews experiencing on-going denial of service attacks and Brad Mitchell pointing out the obvious problems with Linn’s arguments? [1]
As employees of Monsanto, our reactions alternate between amusement and incredulousness. Nowhere on the Web have we seen so much outlandish misinformation about Monsanto in one place. We’ve considered writing responses in the comment section of each post, but frankly none of us have the time to correct so much misinformation.
OrangeClouds115 at Daily Kos does an even better job explaining the truth about HR 875, "The Bill That Will Kill All Farms and Eat Your Babies"
I've got a number of things on my radar but there's one very stupid thing that is causing a huge commotion for no good reason. It's HR 875, the Food Safety Modernization Act, a bill by Rosa DeLauro with about 40 cosponsors (mostly progressives) and no chance of passing (yet). The bill is flawed. It's not perfect. She's introduced it into previous Congresses without this much fanfare and panic among the blogs. So let's get the facts straight so that I don't have to see any more erroneous and crazy, paranoid diaries on the rec list.
Don’t get me wrong. I wrote “Scared to Codex Death” of Monsanto and “They Call It ‘Pharming’ And It’s Phrightening!” six months ago Still, regardless of these articles and Linn’s unrelenting attacks, HR 875, 876, 877 or 878 will probably pass thanks to Monsanto’s “unelected” representatives in the Congress.
Irrespective, Round 1 has been decided and it goes to Linn Cohen-Cole and the urban farming movement.
Linn and the urban farming movement are threatening Monsanto’s ability to control people with food (controlling oil is for nations).
Thanks to Linn and urban gardeners, a very loud and important conversation about food is finally taking place in America and around the world.
People are finally asking the obvious questions: Who controls the food? Where does it come from? Is it healthy? Will there be anything to eat? And why has it been so cheap for so long?
And the question that scares Monsanto to death:
Why don’t I and all of my neighbors just grow our own food...on one square foot of land? [2]
The conversation at Starbucks is no longer about which stocks or houses are going up (or down) but which vegetables sprout the fastest and how many crops can one get in before winter. Now when someone mentions planting a bush permanently they are not talking about how to bury our last president but the best way to plant super bush beans in the spring.
Quit worrying about HR 875, going to jail or getting fined $1 million for growing your own food; that has to be disinformation.
Even if there were enough food police there aren’t enough judges and prosecutors to enforce such a ridiculous law.
What the Monsanto lobby is really afraid of is that one day we will wake up and realize if we work together as a community and cooperate with each other then they will have no power over us.
Monsanto, Cargill and ADM are trying to scare you with their intimidation tactics. Don’t let them. Start a one-square-foot gardening mass resistance. It is the www.pathtofreedom.com.
So Linn keep up the good work and for those Joe urban gardeners playing a planting game, COMPOST, COMPOST, COMPOST!
