			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span>Please forward to everyone&#8230;..</p>
<p>US House and Senate are about (in a week and a half) to vote on bill that<br />
will OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING (bill HR 875). There is an enormous rush to get<br />
this into law within the next 2 weeks before people realize what is<br />
happening.</p>
<p>Main backer and lobbyist is <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a class="zem_slink" title="Monsanto" rel="homepage" href="http://www.monsanto.com">Monsanto</a></span></strong>  – chemical and <a class="zem_slink" title="Genetic engineering" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering">genetic engineering</a><br />
giant corporation (and <a class="zem_slink" title="Cargill" rel="homepage" href="http://www.cargill.com/">Cargill</a>, <a class="zem_slink" title="NYSE: ADM" rel="stockexchange" href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ADM">ADM</a>, and about 35 other related<br />
agri-giants). This bill will require <a class="zem_slink" title="Organic farming" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_farming">organic farms</a> to use specific<br />
fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency<br />
to &#8220;make sure there is no danger to the public food supply&#8221;. This will<br />
include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.</p>
<p>If this passes then NO more heirloom clean seeds<br />
but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with<br />
unexpected diseases in humans.</p>
<p>There is a video on the subject.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw&amp;feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw&amp;feature=related</a></span></span> &lt;<span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw&amp;feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epXNJNjYBvw&amp;amp;feature=related</a></span></span>&gt;</p>
<p>And another one:</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeWVkTU1s1E">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeWVkTU1s1E</a><br />
</span></span><br />
The name on this outrageous food plan is:<br />
<strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875).<br />
</span></strong><br />
THIS IS REAL, FOLKS! PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL CONCERNED ON YOUR<br />
MAILING LISTS &amp; CALL YOUR SENATE REPRESENTETIVES TODAY!<br />
Get on that phone and burn up the wires. Get anyone else you can to do the same thing.<br />
The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss<br />
of their position&#8230;. They only fear your voice and your vote.<br />
The best thing to do is go to www.house.gov/writerep &lt;<span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.house.gov/writerep">http://www.house.gov/writerep</a></span></span>&gt;  all you have to do is<br />
put in your zip and it will give you your congressperson and how to get in<br />
touch with them.  When you call their office someone will answer the phone,<br />
just tell them (politely) that you are calling to express your views on HR 875.  <br />
Tell them your views, they&#8217;ll take your name and address and pass your<br />
comments along to the congressperson.  </p>
