ACTION ALERT
Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.-13), (pictured) acting chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Subcommittee on Horticulture, Research, Biotechnology and Foreign Agriculture, convened a public hearing last week to "consider the benefits" of biotechnology.
The attendees—members of the subcommittee and their so-called "experts"—gushed over the wonderfulness of toxic, chemical-drenched crops and foods. But what they were really trying to figure out was how to sell the same old lies about Monsanto’s Empire to "ignorant" consumers who "just don’t understand" GMOs.
We think we should let Rep. Davis, and all the members of the subcommittee, and all their bankrolled "experts," know that they can insult us all they want"—but they can’t fool us. Monsanto has not only failed to deliver on promises of higher yields, better nutrition, fewer chemicals and happier farmers. But the Gene Giant is also poisoning our food and fields.
We’ve provided all the names of the subcommittee members, and the experts, in case your representative is on the subcommittee, and you want to contact him or her individually.
Call the subcommittee on Horticulture, Research, Biotechnology, and Foreign Agriculture and tell members you’re no dummy! 202-225-2171
