[quote:TheSuperMarket:MV8yMTgxOTE4XzM2OTEyMDMyX0JEMjYxMEM0] [quote:krosty:MV8yMTgxOTE4XzM2OTExOTY5XzRBRTdBOTY4] Capitalism at it's finest. You people call socialism evil. [/quote] This guy is right, you know. The government is the representative of the people. In capitalism, people forms corporations , and this fuels our economy. The corporations donate millions, and have lobbyists to represent their interests. No politician in his right mind would turn his back on corporate interests. The corporate entities ARE the "people" who our elected government represents. It is incorrect to think the "people" are actual human individuals. Human individuals are more like battery cells. Nothing more, nothing less. They power the corporations. So long as this is the system we buy into, it will only continue to get worse, as it has, for generations. [/quote]
Original Message
Obama succeeded in passing Section 735, aka the Monsanto Protection Act, in the Continuing Resolution spending bill - HR 933. Once again, Monsanto and the biotech industry have used their lobbying power to undermine your basic rights.
We need you to sign a petition to President Obama and tell him to veto HR 933 and the Monsanto Protection Act. With the Senate passage of the Monsanto Protection Act, biotech lobbyists are one step closer to making sure that their new GMO crops can evade any serious scientific or regulatory review.
