It is his fault that he spoke out of both sides of his mouth when saying he wouldn't let this become a law and then signs it. Your whole government (Republicans and Democrats) have betrayed you and sold you all out. This would happen no matter who was in the White House. It's affecting my country too as it's here as well. [/quote] this has nothign to do with Obama goddammit. He is a fuckin idiot either way. This about your fucking Food. Dont let the headline dictate the real issue. [/quote] I know and understand that. GMO food has secretly been put into a lot of different brands out there. I have no idea what it's in and what foods I can eat that it is not in. It's just that no one should get a free pass on this. We've been betrayed by all factions of the government. [/quote]

For those that are new to this situation, the Monsanto Protection Act is the name given to what's known as a legislative rider that was inserted into the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill.
Using the deceptive title of Farmer Assurance Provision, Section 735 of this bill actually grants Monsanto immunity from federal courts pending the review of any GM crop that is thought to be dangerous.
Under the section, courts would be helpless to stop Monsanto from continuing to plant GMO crops that are thought -- even by the US government -- to be a danger to human health or our cherised environment.
There is certain to be almost immediate legal action from multiple fronts which will hit the mainstream media headlines. For the first time in decades, Americans will have to give serious consideration to the food supply they are consuming from and hopefully begin a brave new moment in grassroots activism.
I guess not many Americans browse GLP because 13 days prior to this being signed, I posted a link where you could petition this act and I think like 3 people responded. If you are American and saw that post and took no action, then I guess that means you deserve nothing less than what we will see in the future with our food.
