Obama Signs "Monsanto Protection Act"

     "We regret to inform you that late last night President Barack Obama signed H.R. 993, which contained the Monsanto Protection Act into law. President Obama knowingly signed the Monsanto Protection Act over the urgent pleas of more than 250,000 Americans who asked that he use his executive authority to veto it. President Obama failed to live up to his oath to protect the American people and our constitution.
     "Today we’re calling on President Obama to issue an executive order to call for the mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods.
      "Not only is GMO labeling a reasonable and common sense solution to the continued controversy that corporations like Monsanto, DuPont and Dow Chemical have created by subverting our basic democratic rights, but it is a basic right that citizens in 62 other countries around the world already enjoy, including Europe, Russia, China, India, South Africa and Saudi Arabia."
     Please follow this link to express your outrage at President Obama's failure to live up to his oath to protect the American people, to defend the U.S. Constitution, and ask him to issue an executive order for the mandatory labeling of GMOs.
