I posted this on Bomamed, but in case anyone missed it, it is really important!
Main backer and lobbyist is (guess who) Monsanto – chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation. This bill will require all farms, including organic, 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.

THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTATIVES TODAY!
The best thing to do is go to www.house.gov/ writerep 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, just tell them (politely) 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 linkhttp://www.senate. gov/general/ contact_informat ion/senators_ cfm.cfm is a list of the U.S. senators and their contact info.
