Re: [Organic_Gardening] Bill HR 875 outlaws orgainic farming
Snopes is mostly wrong on this one. The author of this bill is the wife of the 3rd in command at Monsanto.

I'm forwarding this to this list because there are members that live in the

ISHA Special announcement
Monsanto Tries To Sneak One Over On Us
This information Just Came Out--And It Poses a Serious
Treat to All of Us -
Please read through the following information. When you're
finished, please make the calls and send this to everyone including small
local farms that you know. This is really frightening and
substantially takes away our crucial rights. We must do all we
can
to ensure that something like this is never allowed to happen.
Subject: Bill against organic farming!
Dear Friends of good nutrition-Please take a moment to consider
responding to this threat to our ability to insure our access to healthy
food. Current projections are that our generation may enjoy greater
longevity than our children because of poor nutrition and pollution trends.
We must act to preserve every aspect of our families' health.
Thanks,
Sherman B. Johnson, MD
We need to help kill this proposed legislation!
Wow, can you believe that they are trying to pass a bill
REQUIRING use of CHEMICALS on all cultivated soils to protect the public. It
seems that the sponsor's husband is on Monsanto's payroll; no surprise. Read
on to see what we can do to stop this bill with 40 sponsors from becoming a
law none of us want.

Dear Friends,
US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on
a bill that OUTLAWS ORGANIC FARMING (Bill HR 875). The name on this
outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 ... And, there
is an enormous rush to get this into law within the next 2 weeks before
people realize what is happening.
This bill must have been handled in a really stealthy manner,
since it came out of nowhere in the last week. No doubt, the way it's
backers, "the Agri-Giants" wanted it. Perhaps a coincidence with "Spring
Break" and many people out of town in the weeks before. With enough
congressmen signing bills without reading them, there's no time to sleep on
this one. How do you organize all these small farmers to
fight the big guys? Spread it far and wide my friends.
Make a noise.
The 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 a 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 will be
allowed, but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up
with unexpected diseases in humans.
Here's a link that gives you an idea how this can be happening
and information about the bill:

THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR
MAILING LISTS & CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTATIVES 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.
Again, the best thing to do is go to
https://writerep. house.gov/ writerep/ welcome.shtml 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.
For a list of U.S. Senators and their contact info. go to:
http://www.senate. gov/general/ contact_informat ion/senators_ cfm.cfm
PS
I have checked each of the links in this special notice and I
encourage of you to do the same. PLEASE, PLEASE--contact your
representatives. They are trying to rush this through in 2 weeks with no
discussion. You essentially will have no choice in the future if this
passes.
PSS
This essentially will end your ability to have organically grown
plants for essential oils!!
