Protecting a megalithic chemical corporation with "Farmer's Protection Act?" That so sounds like Barack "taxpayer-bankroll-my-supporter" Obama.Obama sells out U.S. citizens by signing Monsanto Protection Act into law
For those that are new to this situation, the Monsanto Protection Act is the name given to what's known as a legislative rider that was inserted into the Senate Continuing Resolution spending bill.
Using the deceptive title of Farmer Assurance Provision, Section 735 of this bill actually grants Monsanto immunity from federal courts pending the review of any GM crop that is thought to be dangerous.
Under the section, courts would be helpless to stop Monsanto from continuing to plant GMO crops that are thought -- even by the US government -- to be a danger to human health or our cherised environment
