ACTION ALERT
Another Pro-GMO President?
Hillary
Clinton. Former senator and secretary of state. Mother.
Grandmother-to-be. Potential frontrunner for the Democratic nominee for
U.S. president in 2016.
And Monsanto cheerleader.
From
back in the days when she worked for the Rose Law Firm, which
represented Monsanto, to her ongoing cozy relationships with pro-GMO
appointees Michael Taylor (Deputy Commissioner for Foods) and Tom
Vilsack (Secretary of Agriculture), Clinton has always pandered to the pesticide and junk food manufacturers.
She hasn't changed her tune—even though she's on the wrong side of the 93 percent of Americans (future voters) who want mandatory GMO labeling laws.
Last month, Clinton told the
pro-GMOers at the BIO International Convention that the public is
"misinformed" on the safety of GMO foods. Monsanto just needs to put a
more positive spin on the mounting scientific evidence against GMO crops
and GMO-contaminated foods, and voilà ! Consumers will no longer need
to worry their pretty little heads.
And
no candidate who cheerleads for Monsanto will get the vote of the
millions of consumers who believe politicians should stop taking
Monsanto's money, and start protecting the public.
