Victory! Senate To Kill Monsanto Protection Act

Wednesday, September 25, 2013 7:39

In a major victory brought upon by serious activism and public outrage, new legislation changes will shut down the Monsanto Protection Act rider that granted Monsanto protection from legal action and was set to renew on September 30th.

This unprecedented move shows the true power of the anti-GMO, anti-Monsanto movement, and how elected officials are now being forced to side with the concerned population over the money-spewing Monsanto. After all, it was Monsanto who purchased its way into the initial Senate spending bill legislation via a rider dubbed the ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ through Senator Roy Blunt.

Officially labeled the Farmer Assurance Provision under Sec. 735 of the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill, Senator Blunt was conveniently given over $64,000 by Monsanto before he handed the biotech corporation the ability to write its own legislation for the Monsanto Protection Act.

This is fantastic, however, I feel like its very temporary and will be an ongoing battle so to all those GMO activists out there don’t give up, don’t let them breathe. Continue your activism, your resistance peacefully and determined. This is great news and should encourage you to continue the fight. Monsanto deserve to be driven right into the ground with legal lawsuits and such until they are out of busness. Then their executives should be tried and jailed for crimes against humanity. What they do and grow has killed and maimed thousands all over the world, an example being holding them responsible for the suicides of numerous farmers in India. Good job everybody. Keep fighting the good fight. -Mort
