Secretary of Agriculture Appointment–important action

December 15th, 2008

Dear Friends:

 Obama is soon to select the Secretary of Agriculture.  This is a vitally important office. The fate of organic foods and the impact of Genetically Modified Foods, and the state of our soil and hence our future, depends on this.

The Organic Consumers Assn. says, “The Secretary of Agriculture is responsible for directing the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its $90 billion annual budget, including the National Organic Program, food stamp and nutrition programs, and agriculture subsidies. Through the Organic Consumers Association web portal, you can now directly communicate with the President-Elect about your choice for Secretary of Agriculture and your vision for our nation‘s food system.”
 
Please consider voting for Fred Kirshenmann, a long-time Bioneer and man of integrity (see below). Please go to this link and vote.

    About
    Stuffed into an 8 pound flesh covered space suit in Southern California in 1944, Barbara Ann Moore was born at a very early age. Her uneventful childhood, with a yarn-spinning Alabama father and Virginia Virgo mother, two humorous older brothers and a singing beagle, was full of love and laughter. As a professional student with no particular profession in mind, Barbara attended several colleges and universities on the undergraduate as well as the graduate level. Briefly married (also at an early age), Barbara worked as a lab tech in the hospital before she became an academic adviser at Iowa State University and later, in California, at the State University at Chico. Her life took a distinct 180 turn in the '70's when she met a colorful psychedelic artist who wanted to “score” a chick and move to Hawaii. Since her multiple Scorpio phoenix bird reincarnations in Hawaii, Barbara has primarily been crafting the Healing Arts Center (see About Us on www.dragonflyranch.com) called the Dragonfly Ranch--begun in 1974. Along the way, Barbara studied with a number of respected kahunas who taught her Hawaiian lomilomi (a sacred rejuvenation treatment), ho’oponopono (a method of "setting things right") and Hawaiian healing herbs. With the help of quality assistance from her Ohana (adopted family), three dogs and one cat, Barbara hosts discerning travelers looking for an authentic Hawaiian experience, enjoying Healthy Pleasures. Elected president of Hawaii Island Wellness Travel Association (HIWTA.org), Barbara is learning how to interview members for youTube "webasodes". Besides loving her life at the Dragonfly, Barbara’s present personal passion is to finish her screenplay called, “To Die Laughing”, a romantic comedy about death.
