Now that it's law, they can go back and add amendments banning Heirloom seeds (non-approved agriculture product) and home gardens (non-licensed produce production).

Every one of his campaign promises were lies.

Re: Obama signs Monsanto Protection Act! Betrays America - It's Time to Label GMOs
We have become a fascist country. The corrupt national government has anointed a few major corporations as psuedo-governmental agencies in charge of controlling us. GE, Apple, Monsanto, and a few others are writing the laws that King Barry has leveled on us in the hope of gaining control. Our founding fathers expected a new revolution every few decades. We are past due! If Washington doesn't get it right soon, we may have one. The low information voters keep electing the thieves that promise to give them more free stuff. America is dying! We don't have much time to change the course we are on. That is why the progressives want to take our guns. As long as we have guns, we still have a chance to return to our Constitutional government.

Re: Obama signs Monsanto Protection Act! Betrays America - It's Time to Label GMOs
Actually, if people would play the cards that are dealt, we could overcome this fairly simply. Instead of forcing GMO companies to label their products, how about the NON-GMO stepping up to the plate and start labeling their products as NON-GMO. Use it as a marketing scheme or whatever. Either way it gets the same job done with the same outcome. Its just all in how the problem is approached.

Maybe, what we should be doing instead of wasting time with congress is, very nicely start asking the NON-GMO companies to label their products accordingly. At the end of the day it does not matter which way the products are labeled, as long as they are.

The NON-GMO companies could also use this to their advantage in their marketing strategies.

Re: Obama signs Monsanto Protection Act! Betrays America - It's Time to Label GMOs
Well late last night Obama signed the act that Monsanto does not have to label its GMO grown food.
I suppose it was for money that Obama signed this, he chose money over the American people. I seems Monsanto wants to feed the public its hazardous man made food to you without you knowing it. All this act wanted was Obama to make them label the food that had GMO's in it. But now we wont know. Makes me boil a president would do this to his people.

Hey, halfwit, I already linked you the results of the votes. The republicans who you are so eager to suck the cocks of don't give a shit about you any more than the democrats. You conservatards are the ones always going on and on free market, well here it is, this is what the fucking free market brings you.

Also, is anyone actually reading the law or are you all getting your panties in a bunch because someone else told you you should? I'm not defending it, but fuck you people are acting like its the end of the world (I like how you idiots are saying now they don't need to label GMO food herpa derp, is it fucking labeled now? Fucking think -_-), I've re-read the part that's supposed to be such a terrible thing, and to me it sounds pretty fucking minor, there's bigger shit to worry about. I bet those in charge are laughing their asses off that they can get the people to fight over shit like this that doesn't fucking matter. It sounds like such a minor regulatory thing that I'm pretty sure none of you are actually reading it, here ya go.

Sec. 735. In the event that a determination of non-regulated status made pursuant to section 411 of the Plant Protection Act is or has been invalidated or vacated, the Secretary of Agriculture shall, notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon request by a farmer, grower, farm operator, or producer, immediately grant temporary permit(s) or temporary deregulation in part, subject to necessary and appropriate conditions consistent with section 411(a) or 412(c) of the Plant Protection Act, which interim conditions shall authorize the movement, introduction, continued cultivation, commercialization and other specifically enumerated activities and requirements, including measures designed to mitigate or minimize potential adverse environmental effects, if any, relevant to the Secretary’s evaluation of the petition for non-regulated status, while ensuring that growers or other users are able to move, plant, cultivate, introduce into commerce and carry out other authorized activities in a timely manner: Provided, That all such conditions shall be applicable only for the interim period necessary for the Secretary to complete any required analyses or consultations related to the petition for non-regulated status: Provided further, That nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the Secretary’s authority under section 411, 412 and 414 of the Plant Protection Act.

True. Great idea. The easy way to do it would be to let them know our money will go where non GMO is, the sad thing is that most things have GMO in some form. I've seen a few things that are labeled non GMO at the store. I bet more would if they could.

Well I'll believe you people that you have found such products, but the FDA has officially said they are not to put those labels on things. Unless someone can tell me what agency is in charge of allowing the "Non-GMO" label, I'm forced to believe it has no real meaning and is going against current regulations. Just like "Organic" would have no meaning if the USDA didn't regulate it, I'm pretty sure those "Non-GMO" labels mean jack shit. I'd like to proven wrong, so if you can find a USDA or FDA thing about regulations on that label I'd love to eat my words.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
