Well, let's just say that small farmers and backyard gardeners can rest assured that someone got the message about HR 875 and outlawing organic farming.
Why?
Because now they're trying to silence the bleating sheeple into submission by exclaiming that "this was never their intention"...that this hoop-la over HR 875 is just a "myth" and that they have nothing against backyard gardeners..or even organic farmers. They're wondering what "all the ruckus" is about in blog-land. This bill wasn't meant to "hurt" anyone but to "protect" us from large corporate farmers and contamination. What large corporate farmers? The ones beholden to, manipulated and controlled by global, bloated corporate agribusinesses like Monsanto...the company Rosa DeLauro's husband works for?
[From Wikipedia: Stanley Bernard Greenberg (born May 10, 1945) is a leading Democratic pollster and political strategist who has advised the campaigns of the Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and John Kerry, as well as hundreds of other candidates and organizations in the United States British Prime Minister Tony Blair. He is the founder and CEO of Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research, a polling and consulting firm, and co-founder, with James Carville and Bob Shrum, of Democracy Corps, a non-profit organization which produces left-leaning political strategy. He is married to current Rep. Rosa DeLauro, representative from the Third District from Connecticut.
Greenberg's corporate clients include British Petroleum, British Airways, Monsanto and General Motors. [1] ]
Don't believe it for a second...and we need to keep beating the drums to these politicians. R-Rosa DeLauro, whether she cares to admit it or not, has a major conflict of interest in even introducing a bill like this in the first place given that her husband works for Monsanto. She innocently claims that her hubby has nothing to do with this bill. Fine. It really doesn't matter who her husband is. But 'facts is facts' as they say. The verbiage of HR 875 speaks for itself. We are all fully aware of Monsanto's and all their related cohorts' dirty underhanded tricks. We can see what they have already done to small farmers in other countries around the world. We just witnessed their $1.4 billion CASH purchase of Seminis Seed Co.
We canNOT allow these people to deter and make us feel like idiots because we're alarmed over their outrageous deeds and misdeeds. Crank up the heat and keep it cranked. If Rosa DeLaura means what she says, then she will scrap this bill altogether. Note: she doesn't mention anything about not wanting to harm small farmers. She also never mentions backyard gardeners who might want to sell their produce or save their own seeds either.
Just take a stroll through the bill HR 875 and its implications. It's ALL right there. This frog won't suddenly turn into a prince. Rather it's like boiling the frog in the pot. Put a frog into warm water then slowly turn up the heat until the frog is cooked. That's how these people operate...and the only thing DeLauro's TRULY shocked about is the fact that people are actually onto their scheme...I mean, it's always worked so well before!
