Subject: Hillary Clinton: It's time to dump Monsanto
Passing along (this edited piece) from the Organic Consumers Association

Please sign our petition asking Hillary Clinton to support consumers,

Clinton
spoke at the recent BIO International Convention, ignoring
the mounting
scientific evidence that GMO agriculture, especially
Monsanto's Roundup and
Dow's 2,4-D, are destroying the environment
and public health. She ignored the
evidence of failed GMO crops and
the growing problem of superweeds.
And she
ignored the warning issued last year by the United Nations
that we must
replace today's chemical-intensive monoculture model of
GMO agriculture with
sustainable, carbon-sequestering, regenerative
agriculture, if we want to turn
around global warming.
