IT's NOT OVER TILL IT;s OVER


We are n a national food emergency.
THis are not normal times that call for normal
actions.

These are the times when we need to
do more than is asked.

This is the time to show Barack Obama that
the local sustainability movement has arrived.


This is the time to come together in comunity
around the lettuce. "Lettuce Grow Together,"
is a message we want to send to the FDA.
This is the time for new leadership in the FDA,
for new voices to be heard around Food Safety
and protecting our Food Security.

This is a time for Real Science and the willingness
to admit to mistakes and committments we have
have based on possible misunderstandings.
As much as we once went after weapons of
mass destruction, we are called now to
work constructively together in a dialogue
between science, ethics and Food.

The very survival and well as fullfillment
of our American Dreams as well as Global
hopes for feeding everyone asks clear
action, open sharing, and the willingness
to turn away from committments we are making
that have foundations below them as
tenuous as living as earthquakes waiting
to happen.

There is no going forward with our system
of finances based on Monopoly money.
There is no hope for us as a nations based
on having morgaged our homeowners out
of the land where they are now dispossessed.
We will never get home as a nation that
flips out hurting landowners and and
replaces them with other homeowners.
Forgive me for saying it, we have still
living out a Ponzi scheme and our
same brothers and sisters who got
us into the mess and still messing up.

Technology and Science will never get
us home now without Nature as its foundation.
We cannot make a buck off the pain
of the dispossessed, or women crying
out for land to plant their seeds.

Technology of centuries cannot
be erased as we imagine we can
invent better. Let us first learn
the system here before we attempt
to beat it. Ee already have an original
technology that asks to be explored
as much as we have medicines
that grow from soil that need
to be cultivated in our own backyards.

Enough said.

Every farmer is our farmer.
Every sleepless night they
have is our sleepless night
for they stand up and bend down
for us and do the things that
can possibly feed us
and bring the best out of us.

Food! Food! Food, my friend.
It is the the substances that
gives each of us a prophet's voice,
unique and diverse. No
longer can we live simply
for profits.

Too much is at stake
in the rather tentative
and relatively recent
appearance of human life on earth.
Let us work together now,
to prolong our stay here.

Matt Finklestein, a former flow master for the Roots Sustainable
Food Project, and a member of the La Milpa Organic Farm Community.
It's existence and the well being of one of its lead members,
Barry Logan, keynote speaker at the recent 2010 Cultivating Food
Justice Conference is now being challenged by City Magistrates.

Logan admits he is guilty of illegal actions
that go with ther terrain of helping making ends
meet on a farm that is more a school of education
than a commercial commodity food producing operation.

"SHOW ME THE MOVEMENT! MAKE ME DO IT!"
President Barack Obama. It's now time to give him
what he asked, our solidarity, so he can free his
bound hands, and free us all from slavery.
Without healthy food, we are enslaved
and our full self expression in prison.
