The World According to Monsanto

Thanks to popular films like Food Inc., Monsanto is becoming more of a household term.  But who is Monsanto?  Where did they come from?  Why can saying their name alone bring such outrage that their nickname is the ‘devil’?

Below you will find a great 10 part documentary series free on YouTube in HD.  Since this one company is now controlling a majority of the worlds food supply and it’s unlikely to ever hit your evening news in a big way, take the time now to educate yourself.  Learn more, see how you feel about the company form your own opinions and open up dialog with your friends and family. If you have any trouble viewing the videos below view them on YouTube here.

Farmers are fighting a loosing battle with large corporations and need your help now!

If you have had the privilege to see Food Inc.  you have seen the horrible truth behind GMO companies.  They are destroying the heart of our great nation by controlling, unlawfully suing and spying on hard working honest farmers.   H.R. 6637, The Genetically Engineered Farmer Protection Act, places liability from the impacts of genetically engineered organisms on the biotechnology companies that created the GMOs, and protects farmers from law suits by biotechnology companies. Dennis Kucinich is fighting for the right to protect farmers from large companies such as Monsanto with H. R. 6637.  Kucinich is proud to give strong and unwavering support to our organic family farmers.

Please fill out the petition below to have North Carolina Congressman Heath Schuler protect farmers rights and support Bill H. R. 6637.  I know our audience reaches far beyond the mountains of Western North Carolina.  If you agree with this bill, please sign the petition and I will forward your information to your elected official.
