    Stop the Monsanto Protection Act!


    Once again, Monsanto and the biotech industry are working behind
    closed doors to undermine your basic rights. This time they’ve gone too
    far! As your Senators debate the Continuing Resolution spending bill,
    biotech lobbyists have desperately snuck provisions into the spending
    bill to make sure their new GMO crops can evade any serious scientific
    or regulatory review.

    In the past, legal advocates have successfully won in court the right
    to halt the sale and planting of unapproved GMO crops while the
    approval of those crops is under review by a federal judge. This
    dangerous new House provision, which we're calling the Monsanto
    Protection Act, would strip judges of their constitutional mandate to
    protect consumer rights and the environment, while opening up the
    floodgates for the planting of new untested genetically engineered
    crops, endangering farmers, consumers and the environment.

    Join us in putting a stop to the Monsanto Protection Act!



    A copy of your letter of support will be delivered to your Senator:




    Dear Senator,

    I am writing to urge you to strike the “farmer assurance provision”,
    Section 735, currently included in the Senate Continuing Resolution
    spending bill being considered by Congress.

    Though wrapped in a
    “farmer-friendly” package, this provision is simply an industry ploy to
    continue to sell genetically engineered (GE) seeds even when a court of
    law has found they were approved by USDA illegally. It is unnecessary
    and an unprecedented attack on U.S. judicial review. Congress should not
    be meddling with the judicial review process based solely on the
    special interest of a handful of companies.

    The judicial review
    process is an essential element of U.S law and serves as a vital check
    on any Federal Agency decision that may negatively impact human health,
    the environment or livelihoods. Yet this provision seeks an end-run
    around such judicial review by preemptively deciding that industry can
    set its own conditions to continue to sell biotech seeds, even if a
    court may find them to have been wrongfully approved.

    The
    provision further forces USDA to immediately approve any permits for
    continued planting the industry requests, putting industry completely in
    charge by allowing for a “back door approval” mechanism. USDA’s duty is
    to protect the interests of all farmers and the environment, a duty
    that would be eliminated by this provision.

    The provision is
    also completely unnecessary. No farmer has ever had his or her crops
    destroyed. Every court to decide these issues has carefully weighed the
    interests of farmers, as is already required by law.
    I urge you to
    demand that Appropriations Chairwoman Mikulski pull this dangerous and
    unconstitutional rider, and to support any amendment that would strike
    the rider from the Continuing Resolution.

    Sincerely,

    [Your Name]

    I bought a seed vault. For less then 70.00 I got over 50k veg seeds, all heritage so they will produce the same product every year, as long as I'm careful to save the first fruit seeds every year and with proper storage I should be set and also able to give away or sell the seeds if it ever comes down to it. BTW Neno love your new garden.
