Outrage Pours In After USDA Approves GE Alfalfa Deregulation!
http://go.usa.gov/Y08
Thursday the USDA announced alfalfa would become deregulated thus allowing genetically engineered alfalfa to grow alongside organic and non-ge alfalfa. By Friday night, their Facebook Page had over 171 comments - all of which were expressing GRAVE DISAPPOINTMENT and DISAPPROVAL of the decision. What will it take for our government to take seriously the dangers of GMO's? Please continue to visit the USDA page and post your opposition.

Also, pick up the phone and call the 3 key contacts responsible for this action - Tom Vilsack, President Obama, and Monsanto. We must let our voices be heard. It may be the weekend, but we will not forget about this by Monday. Call, call call, post, post, post...
202-720-3631 TOM VILSACK
202-456-1111 OBAMA
314-694-1000 MONSANTO
Several have also mentioned a class action law suit and are currently in the process of seeking out attorneys. Keep the pressure on!

KEY FDA DOCUMENTS REVEALING
(1) HAZARDS OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOODS--AND
(2) FLAWS WITH HOW THE AGENCY MADE ITS POLICY
http://www.biointegrity.org/
About the Documents You will see scanned reproductions (exact copies) of some of the Food & Drug Administration's (FDA) internal memoranda about the hazards of genetically engineered foods. These documents became available through the Alliance for Bio-Integrity's lawsuit (Alliance for Bio-Integrity et al., vs. Shalala, et al.) to gain mandatory safety testing and labeling of these foods. The large numbers on the bottom of each page (i.e. 18952) are the Administrative Record (A.R.) numbers affixed by the FDA. How to View and Print In order to make these documents easily accessible, we've saved each page in two different formats: one intended for viewing on your monitor using your internet browser (click on "View Document"), and one formatted in PDF suitable for printing onto a 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of paper (click on "View PDF"). To print the PDF files you will need free software called Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you don't already have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download it here. Depending on your computer and internet connection, downloading Adobe Acrobat Reader may take up to fifteen minutes. You may find that the best way to view and read the documents on your monitor is to select the PDF files; they are larger files and therefore may take slightly longer to download, but the Acrobat Reader enables you to enlarge or reduce the image size to fit your monitor. A. FDA Scientists Discuss Various Safety Concerns
B. Specific Objections to Use of Antibiotic-Resistant Marker Genes
C. Safety Questions Raised by Tests on the Flavr Savr Tomato--the Most Thoroughly Tested Bioengineered Food
D. Additional Evidence of Improprieties In The Formation Of FDA Policy On Bioengineered Foods
