'Monsanto Protection Act' might be repealed thanks to Activism

The so-called Monsanto Protection Act signed into law earlier this year caused such an outrage that people around the world are planning to protest the biotech company later this month. Now a United States Senator is expected to try and repeal that law after mounting pressure. 



Senator Barbara Mikulski of Maryland actually went and released a statement apologizing for allowing the Monsanto Protection Act through and vowing to fight against GMOs and Monsanto. Ultimately, multiple Senators had entered damage control after the jig was up. That is besides Senator Roy Blunt from Missouri, who actually worked with Monsanto (as in he let them write it while he received funding) on the Monsanto Protection Act rider. A rider he says is perfectly reasonable. After all, why not give Monsanto full immunity from the legal system the rest of us are subject to?

Even Obama was getting blasted on his Facebook page following the approval of the Monsanto Protection Act, with the majority of comments coming into his page criticizing his signature on the bill that contained the rider.

Thanks to this activism, it looks like the Monsanto Protection Act may soon be repealed after this new bill hits Washington. This time, we will have plenty of time to let the Senators know that they are voting against the public if they choose to side with Monsanto. And with such a specific agenda for this bill, I see it doing well in the Senate. -

  1. The USDA and FDA are just as big of a problem right now, a thorough investigation needs to be conducted for political corruption, money laundering, and knowingly putting toxic chemicals that harm human health into the general food supply... Where is the ACLU, why are all these farmers loosing their farms to a Corporation, because somehow in hell a patent law on seeds came about, and who said all these farmers have to take these seeds, and Monsanto is in fact infringing up common rights to life patents of original seeds, the Judges need to Stop siding with who fills their pockets.... All the way up and down there needs to be a full scale re-election of a government "For the people, By the people"...because right now, that is not what we have at all... Codex Alimentarius is a good indicator of what is to come if we let them press on, and not just Monsanto, and Biotech corporation abusing their power to put profit before people and poison our lands, water, animals, and people in order to take control of all sources of food and make regulations every country must follow, or go to trade war with the US... Does that sound right?

    1. Considering the head of the FDA is a former VP and lobbyist for Monsanto, I'd have to agree that the FDA is just as big of a problem right now. Not that they didn't use us as lab rats before...

    2. The FDA and the Ag. Department exist as extensions for Biotech Companies to ensure their poison is distributed to the whole country as quickly as possible. This guarantees they make trillions before they are shut down to the tune of a few million. And the legislators they own will fight tooth and nail to protect them.

  2. In my opinion these politicians and appointed heads of our government agencies are perpetrators of the biggest crime in human history.The Holocaust notwithstanding. Sadly on our present course there will be no history written. the perps will all die off without their due punishment. The victims will be gone too. All victims of their own complacency. Good riddance sheeple.
