[Durham INC] Attack on North Carolina Organics

I want to add an additional comment about the attack on organic foods...
 Obama signed into law last Tuesday, a House bill to save the country from a government shutdown.  Secretly slipped into the bill was section 735, The Monsanto  Protection Act, which says federal courts cannot intervene and halt biotech companies from planting and selling genetically modified goods and genetically engineered seeds to the public, even if testing proves them to be potentially hazardous to the greater public.  
 
Another bonus!!!  Monsanto is protected from litigation if in the future it is found to be hazardous to public health.

A news report about the outcry, if you want confirmation of the facts.
 
Our food source has been under attack by big corporations for decades.  For years, farmers have been forced to buy new seed every year from Monsanto, by law, they can NOT save a portion of their crop to replant in the Spring.  
 
If you care about the food you eat, consider making a couple phone calls to Troxler's office, soon.
