USDA review may approve Monsanto’s GMO alfalfa — Vote Today!

We're more than a little late on this (today's the last day), but here's the word from Food Democracy Now!:

After years of bureaucratic wrangling, a recent USDA environmental review may finally approve Monsanto’s GMO alfalfa. If approved, GMO alfalfa will fundamentally undermine the entire organic industry overnight. In addition, the USDA says Americans consumers don't care about the contamination of organics. Act Now! Comments are due by close of business today.

Please join us in calling on Secretary Vilsack to stand up for organic family farmers and reject approval of Monsanto's GMO alfalfa by signing this petition. You may add further comments in the comment box below.

   Thanks for putting this up, Diane. I've signed once for every member of my family. I hope there's lots of traffic here today and that everyone does the same. The entire GMO issue is very serious!
