It looks as though Mr. Stanley Greenburg and his wife might just have a(heavy?)hand on the key to said revolving door through the bill HR875. Knowledge is power - OCA might be flattered to be so targeted if it weren't so aggravating and bloody expensive for a non-profit like they are.

Among other timely issues their Political Plunder for the Week calls for immediate action re: appointment of one, Michael Taylor, a former Monsanto executive who has a long history of lobbying for Monsanto and fast tracking Monsanto's controversial rBGH while at the Food and Drug Administration. Taylor is a case study of the "revolving door," having worked within the USDA and FDA, as well as Monsanto. The Future of Food movie covers this revolving door concept. It's shocking in its scope and has been amazingly successful. Together we can put a cog in the door's mechanism. Please go to: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/642/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27042 and take the few minutes to weigh in on this far-reaching issue. And then take their easy method to spread the word far and wide.

I watched the film by Deborah Koons Garcia, THE FUTURE OF FOOD, last week on its national TV debut. Actually, I came in nearly at the end of it and was so disappointed to miss it that I ordered the dvd from www.thefutureoffood.com planning on sharing it with my Weston A. Price group. Newstarget.com says if you eat food, you need to see this movie. Christian Science Monitor rates it Grade A with a stunning revelation in almost every scene. WWOFs new favorite newspaper, The New York Times, called it quietly inflammatory and unsettling. I really liked the bonus cd with excerpts from Michael Pollan (before he got so famous) and other activists informative with some useful sharing tools. I should point out that this film has been out 4 years. Things are slow to get to my neck of the northwoods. Judging the urgency of the message - there's no time to lose.
