This will be really bad for the health of Iowans if approved, however, I
think the comment period is over.  The actual page where comments could be
posted is here
<http://www.regulations.gov/#!searchResults;rpp=25;po=0;s=APHIS-2013-0042;fp
=true;ns=true>  but it appears to be closed.  If anyone knows differently
please post.

Let us not forget that corporations are granted charters for the purpose of
serving a public need. Corporations like Dow and Monsanto, with their
records of bad behavior, deserve to have their charters revoked, so that
they can be reorganized on an ethical basis.--Tom

Tell EPA, USDA and President Obama to Stop Dow Chemical's "Agent Orange"
Crops

The EPA has just opened a public comment period on the approval of the use
of toxic 2,4-D specifically for Dow's GE corn and soybeans. EPA is timing
their approval process with that of USDA, with both agencies proposing
approval of the Dow Agent Orange, GE crop system.


Dow Chemical, the same company that brought us Dursban, Napalm, and Agent
Orange, is now in the food business and is pushing for an unprecedented
government approval:  genetically engineered (GE) versions of corn, soybeans
and cotton that are designed to survive repeated dousing with 2,4-D, half of
the highly toxic chemical mixture Agent Orange.

Agent Orange was the chemical defoliant used by the U.S. in Vietnam, and it
caused lasting environmental damage as well as many serious medical
conditions in both American veterans and the Vietnamese.

Tell EPA, USDA, and President Obama to stop Dow Chemical's "Agent Orange"
crops!
