PETITION: Stop the Monsanto Protection Act

Food is a central concern to Americans, and related to many Civil Rights issues. The Monsanto Protection Act goes beyond Civil Rights to Civil LIVES! Please read over this petition, and if you support it, please sign and share/RT/post. Food is not a privilege, as an American, but a RIGHT! (njb)

The Monsanto Protection Act is an outrage. It allows big agricultural and biotech corporations to ignore food safety regulations and sell genetically engineered foods even after a court order to stop.

The good news? The Monsanto Protection Act expires on September 30.

The bad news? Some in Congress want to extend the Monsanto Protection Act as part of the must-pass budget bill that will keep our government operating past September 30.

The Monsanto Protection Act was written anonymously and in secret - and prevents courts from doing their jobs. For Americans concerned about health and environmental damage, it leaves no legal recourse.

We have to act now to stop big special interests from running roughshod over our democracy.

Join Sen. Jeff Merkley, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, and the Daily Kos community. Tell Congress to stop the Monsanto Protection Act.
