Local Group Joins Global March Against Monsanto 9/20/2013 -For immediate release- On Saturday, October 12th, 2013 a local group, Idaho GMO Resistance, will lead the community in an international day of action against Global Biotech Giant, Monsanto. On May 25th, 2013 hundreds of Idahoans joined over 2 million people from 52 countries in more than 436 cities around the world, marking the first day of Global Action against the They are blamed for more than 17,638 deaths in India alone, just in 2009. Monsanto is responsible for many cancerous chemicals and products, including: Agent Orange, DDT, PCB’s, and more. The reckless use of these chemicals, calls into question: Monsanto’s testing standards, lack of scientific rigor, disregard for the precautionary principle, and disregard for human life and the ecosystem. Currently we’re faced with Monsanto’s proliferation of genetically modified foods, use of dangerous pesticides, and their efforts to control the food supply. In 2000, An “Open Letter from World Scientists, to All Governments, Concerning Genetically Modified Organisms,” was signed by 828 scientists from 84 countries, and detailed concern regarding GMO’s. It also called for an immediate, 5 year suspension of GMO crops, in order to conduct “a comprehensive public enquiry, of agriculture, and food security for all.” On March 28, 2013, the “Monsanto Protection Act” was signed into law by the US Government, allowing Monsanto to promote and plant GMO’s, and genetically engineered seeds, free, from any judicial litigation that might decide the crops are unsafe. What’s more, are the substantial ties, between top, key positions at Monsanto, that also hold key positions with the FDA, EPA, and Supreme Court, not to mention, the Departments of Commerce, Defense, and State, the White House, and the Social Security Administration.
