GEEZ thanks for signing this obama and giving Monsanto power over food with out worry about what it will do to US -forever. PLEASE I want to hear from the Obama supporters about how this is OK, especially the same ones who bitched about Monsanto for years, that is until he appointed the a head of it to the friggen FDA!
Briefly:
The "Monsanto Protection Act" effectively bars federal courts from being able to halt the sale or planting of controversial genetically modified (aka GMO) or genetically engineered (GE) seeds, no matter what health issues may arise concerning GMOs in the future.
Know who to blame it isn't just the betrayal of people from one party.. But the fact that Sen. Roy Blunt, Republican of Missouri, actually worked with Monsanto on a provision that in effect allows them to keep selling seeds, which can then go on to be planted, even if it is found to be harmful to consumers, is stunning.
THEY DON'T READ THE BILLS BEFORE VOTING and bills are crammed full of betrayal all the time... Many members of Congress were apparently unaware that the "Monsanto Protection Act" even existed within the bill they were voting on
The President did nothing to stop it, either. On Tuesday, Obama signed HR 933 while the rest of the nation was fixated on gay marriage.
The message it sends is that corporations can get around consumer safety protections if they get Congress on their side. Furthermore, it sets a precedent that suggests that court challenges are a privilege, not a right.
