GMO Seed Pushers
The U.S. Government Has Tied El Salvador $277 million Aid Package to Monsanto’s GMO Seeds. In recent weeks, the U.S. has been pushing the El Salvadoran Government to sign the second Millennium Challenge Compact. One of the main conditions on the agreement is allegedly for the purchasing of GM seeds from Monsanto. At the end of 2013 it was announced that without ‘specific’ economic and environmental policy reforms, the U.S. government would not provide El Salvador with $277 million in aid money through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). It is now clear that by ‘specific reforms’ the MCC means reforms that allow GM crops and their associated pesticides to be forced on El Salvador’s Government and citizens. Is it a coincidence that the MCC delayed its initial agreed aid payments following the announcement by the El Salvador Government that they were banning the use of Glyphosate (Roundup) and 52 other dangerous chemicals in September 2013? Is it a coincidence that the glyphosate ban was overturned?

GMO Grass: Play Ball on the Cancer Causing Round Up Soaked Grass
Say good bye to grass fed beef.
This GMO was just passed on through the FDA and USDA --and
Drum roll..... it is being seeded on employee lawns NOW--- will be avail commercially next yr 2015 and in the big box stores by 2016 for the neighbors to incorporate into their lawns--- Scott's GMO Kentucky Bluegrass has been modified to protect it from being killed by Roundup produced by Monsanto.
Round Up is very toxic, recent study found that the inert undisclosed ingredients combined with the active ingredient Glyphosate is 125X more toxic than the active ingredient alone. Yet Monsanto only 'safety tested' Glyhosate. Why is this poison being sold to families, farmers, or anyone ever??

--- All grass will be gmo ---
Pollen drift on a good day can be as far as 500 miles.
Biotech Buttkisser #1; USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack has urged caution as there can be cross contamination--- (and complete list on why Vilsack is a fox in the henhouse for Monsanto) yet, the Scott's employee's are essentially having their own open air test fields being told by Scotts to seed their lawns with the grass. Scott's is being expected to police themselves.Yes, that is as dumb as it sounded in your head when you read that sentence.
What the hell! How can a company unleash things like this into our Environment and we would be ok with this?
South Carolina, we have to get vocal on this. Or your kids could be playing on GMO grass growing in soccer fields, baseball fields, parks, schools and where ever else the GMO pollen drift goes.

EPA Comments on 2,4D & Glyphosate Action Alert
Action Alert:
EPA is taking comments about approving 2,4 D and glyphosate combo
From Dr. Mercola, who summed it up well:
"Agent Orange is no longer produced -- so why am I bringing it up now?
Because Dow AgroSciences (a subsidiary of Dow Chemicals), who was one of the original manufacturers of Agent Orange (AO), has developed a new generation of genetically modified (GM) crops -- soybeans, corn and cotton -- that are designed to resist a major ingredient in AO: the herbicide called 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).
The use of 2,4-D, however, is not new, as it is actually one of the most widely used herbicides in the world.
What is new – and disturbingly so – is that now that staple crops like soy and corn have been engineered to be resistant to 2,4-D, it may soon be applied to U.S. arable land on an unprecedented scale -- not unlike its indiscriminate application during Vietnam.
The whole point of engineering resistance to an herbicide within a GMO plant, of course, is so that you can "carpet bomb" an entire field, leaving only your "Frankenfoods" standing, without having to exert even a fraction of the effort required raise crops organically and sustainably.
In fact, if 2,4-D resistant crops receive approval and eventually come to replace Monsanto's failing Roundup-resistant crops as Dow intends, it is likely that billions of pounds will be needed, on top of the already insane levels of Roundup now being used (1.6 billion lbs were used in 2007 in the US alone!)."

What the Action Alert??
Heed the Action Alerts!
They are often actions you can do from the comfort of your own home or office-- Petitions, comments, letter writing, postcard drives--- every voice counts. Together we are making a huge difference.
