AUNTIE GMO MARRIES
UNCLE SAM.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?


Auntie GMO marries Uncle Sam.
What in the world does that mean?
Why is it so critically important
for the sake of our earth that
the forces in Washington,
that have so much to say about
our health and well being,
take a deep look at the
dominant stance they are taking
on the Supreme Court,
in the House and Senate and within the
executive branch right now?

The Washington stance from top to bottom,
but for a minority of alien voices,
are Pro GMO. Uncle Sam is out to eat Genetically
Modified Foods and believes We the People,
don't care if we eat it too. 99% of the corn
in Iowa is already GMO, and soybeans as well
in Japan are no longer, but for a few seeds,
GMO Free.

This would make no difference perhaps
if there were not disturbing, increasing reports
that people are coming down with organ
failures, or that there are suspicious
connections that need to be looked out
this very minute between millions of people
coming down with lung ailments
who live around Iowa farms. Does
a rat, eaten by a bat or a grain eaten by a bird release
airborne comtaminants from their poop?
People in the Governor's mansion,
where 36 mysteriously got ill, better
slow down right now and ask.
I would not be asking Monsanto's
lead scientists, or former and future
Monsanto scientists in the FDA
to be our source of accurate data.


In spite of the potential for Alfalfa,
a weed-like, highly motile perennial grain to potentially be
influenced spread seeds everywhere
and be subject to Genetically
Engineered drift, the Supreme Court as
of Tuesday April 27 is leaning toward ruling
that this genetic drift may be a non-issue.
It makes no difference
to them that organic gardens are proliferating
everywhere now across America,
including one in the Obama's
back yard on Pennsylvania Avenue.

MONSANTO VS. GEERTSON SEED FARMS,
ET. AL CASE


The USDA, who we turn for protection
and to keep our "Jeans" clean, tells us
that GE (GMO) Ag, Conventional Ag, and
Organic Ag are intended to co-exist
in this the land of the free, yet no one
is slowing down enough to say
exactly how this is scientifically
possible.

THE SUPREME COURT
AND FDA OPINION IS
THAT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GE FOOD and ORGANIC
FOOD

The dominant opinion that suggests that there is no difference
between GE food, i.e, GMO Foods, and
Organic Foods.

This, is the dominant opinion coming out
of the Supreme Court right now that
favors overturning a lower court ruling
that has blocked Monsanto Company
from ever greater widespread sale and use
of their GMO products.

Biotech Alfalfa: Supreme Court Isn't Convinced It Should Be Banned
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/27/biotech-alfalfa-supreme-c_n_553740.html


AP: WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court justices on Tuesday sharply questioned a lower court's decision that has prohibited biotech giant Monsanto Co. from selling genetically engineered alfalfa seeds, possibly paving the way for the company to distribute the seeds for the first time since 2007.

of AN IMPROVED BILL THAT
WOULD IMPROVE FOOD SAFETY
BUT NOT HARM SMALL FARMING


PROBLEMS WITH #S-510
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2010/04/28-4


GROWING SAFE FOOD BILL
http://www.integral-living.com/growing-safe-food-act-s-2758/


"The Growing Safe Food Act (S.2758)
was introduced by Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI)
in an effort to ammend the FDA Food Safety Modernization
Act (S. 510), which will soon be considered by the Senate.

The "facilities" targeted by the FDA include
small and medium-sized farms that process
some of their own agricultural products
for distribution to the public.
These small "facilities" have not been the major culprit
in food contamination outbreaks, rather
it is the large-scale industrial facilities.
By subjecting small farmers to the same regulations,
the bill threatens to impose a set of fees
and administrative burdens that small farmers
may not be able to subsume
into the costs of their business operations.

ACTION NEEDED IMMEDIATELY


JOIN THE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE COALITION NOW

http://sustainableagriculture.net/take-action/food-safety-action-alert/

The National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) is an excellent example of the kind of coalition that is needed from the sustainable food movement. NSAC’s member organizations all have specific areas of focus and are able to work on these important issues while also contributing to one focused voice for national policy debates. This singular voice is what enables meaningful policy change because it can be heard above the numerous asks of individual groups and can stand firmly in opposition to agribusinesses which have long been organized to speak as one on Capitol Hill.

THE FDA FOOD SAFETY MODERNIZATION ACT
The passage of this, #S-510 was a done deal
until The Growing Safe Food Act (S.2758)
showed up. With intense public support
right now, we can defeat #S-510 and pass
#S. 2758. Your Senator needs to be contacted
immediately and asked to sign on.

___

With the impending passage of
the #S-510, The FDA Food Safety
Modernization Act, exactly how
many trillions is it going to cost us
for FDA agents, who buy the Codex
Alimentarius party line that pharmaceuticals
are our first line of defense against
disease, to enforce the Organic Rule,
that protects us from GE assault?

Thank God, there is another bill
on the Horizon, that immediately
needs support, that will ensure
Food Safety from another angle,
making sure that the backbone
of American farming our local,
and organic farmers, are protected
as we go after an inherently
contaminated Big Ag system
that would like nothing better
than to wipe out the fast growing
organic competition.


BIOTECH AGRICULTURE PRESUMES
THAT GENES ARE REAL ESTATE
TO BE PATENTED FOR FINANCIAL
GAIN. THEY ARE THEN MARKETED
TO IMPROVE THE ASSETS OF
STAKEHOLDERS WHO INVEST
IN THESE SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS.


Please let us be honest with each other.
We have had enough of Ponzi Schemes.
Let us not imagine that our genes
are just one more source of real estate
to be subject to patient pending.

Please, we have gone far enough
astray. Stop it. Seeds belong
to all of us. They are the cornerstone
of health and individual cultural
uniqueness in a multi-national
business environment that sees
all food as a commodity
and that hungry people in
Africa, India, and South America
are nothing more than
an over-population problem
that can be solved by genetic
engineering.

There are many people in the
field of biotech who stand in integrity
and want to solve the issues of hunger
in Africa. They read the data and believe
the results. One scientist
does not know what the other is doing.
Voices across agriculture are not listening
or talking. An intense dialogue is needed
to look deeply at the limits of both biotech
ag and organic ag to solve the socio-economic
issues. The White House and Washington
is currently investing Billions and Billions
in technologies and science aimed to
help us our of our current financial
breakdown, yet these are not investments
that will help anyone.

The investment of billions
by the Gates Foundation in Biotech for
Africa, as well as in putting away
heirloom organic seeds in Iceland
may aim to help the poor, and protect
from the loss of bio diversity in our seeds,
yet it is Biotech agriculture itself that
is responsible for the loss of bio diversity.
The basis of any long-lasting approach
requires restoring indigenous
cultures that have been destroyed
by privatization and land grabs,
Bio diverse seed banks and micro growing
climates need to be respected.
Lives and lifestyles are not ours to be manipulated
for profit.

Auntie GMO marries Uncle Sam.
Do you get it? It is a Seed Dream.
It is something that needs to happen.
Washington--all of it-- needs to have its
head turned around, and this, this,

can do it.

How do we let the Supreme Court know what

Are do we educate them?


"SHOW ME THE MOVEMENT!
MAKE ME DO IT!"
Is there a site for this on facebook?
http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1595758

President Obama and Michelle
are more than sympathetic to
sustainable agriculture.
When the president was asked
for his support, he said,
"Show me the movement!
Make me do it!" He turned
to his wife, and said,
"It's your issue, baby!"

Here we are a year later.
Michelle Obama has taken the lead.
She had planted a White House garden.
She has come to places like San Diego
and had her picture taken with
African refugees now here who once
were land based and were exporting
grain to feed Europe when it had no food.

She is saying to the whole nation now,
"Let's Move!" and her lead is going
to get us all moving into being
a movement.

This is it. This is the time.
We have no better time nor will we ever.

RAJ PATEL RECEIVES APPLAUSE
AFTER HIS TALK ON THE GLOBAL FOOD CRISIS

http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1614927


We are a nation of
"One beet. Many Pulses."
and returning to the beat of nature
is now our song.

This this is the moment when
we can take back our seeds,
our seeds owned by a few
multi-national companies,
among them, the company
that hails for the City of the
St. Louis Rams, the Forbes Magazine
Choice of the year, Monsanto Company.
There is no question that this,
the world's largest Biotechnology
Genius's know how to do business,
but the rule is, Genius is by nature
imbalanced.

What we need now, for the very
survival and fulfillment of children
from St Louis to little town in Iowa,
and villages in Somali, is balance.
Hear and simple, we need sanity,
a massive infusion of sanity
into the world of agriculture,
and that sanity can only be
infused into the world right now
by you.

My preference is to open a dialogue.
I invite a dialogue between Science, Ethics,
and Food. This is crucial.

We all need to sit down at a round table
and hear each other.

To be heard at the table,
there is something that We, The People
can do right now.

We need about Ten Million of us taking
immediate action.

There are things we need to do right now,
if not sooner.

We need to make comment on the following
petition that lets it be known that each of us
each of the Ten Million, are not in favor
of the proposed US stance on at the forthcomng
Codex Alimentarius Commission hearings
May 3-May 8 in Quebec.

These hearings of the international body
that makes us Food Rules, i.e, Food Laws,
determines trade sanctions. What they say
turns heads around, presidential, Senator,
House of Rep heads around. We, as a nation,
want to be in the good graces of good trade
agreements.

You heard it first here on
The Plant Your Dream Blog;

Auntie GMO marries Uncle Sam.

This of course is a play on words,
that I can see on a T-shirt.

This is a Francise I can see
of Restaurants the equivalnet of
the Schrimp Restaurant made famous
by the words that first appeared in the film
"Forrest? " Bubba Gump Schrimp Company


Auntie GMO marries Uncle Sam.

Now is the time.
This is the moment.

Clearly US policy is a step away from
sending its US Delegration to the upcoming
Codex Alimentariusm Meetings in Quebbe next
weekk May 3-8.

This is the time when Food Safety Legislation
appears that would knock down the bill in the
driver's seat to installd Food Safety Laws while
at the same tme potentially harming small agribusss.

This is the moment when a sound peaceful dialogue
no less than 1 to ten million strong needs to pour
outs his wishes to counterbalance to let the
Supreme Court know that a thousands upon thousands
of people in the know, want to put back rather
than appluad the Supreme Court decision to
all Monsanto seeds to flouris, unregulated.

FOLLOW THE LINKS....
Get Busy.

This is the time.

I heard a version of this from
Raj Patel who spoke at the
2010 Cultivating Food Justice Conference
in San Diego, April 24-25 at San Diego
State University.

FIrst they ignore you,
Then they fight you,
they then buy you out,
then you win.
I am O.K if Monsanto Company
goes Super Organic!

I am O.K. if Michael R. Taylor of
the FDA admits to crimes against
humanity, and acknowledges he
new that data that led to the acceptance
of GMO's in the 90's was bad science.

I am O.K. if President Barack Obama
pardons Taylor, his current Food Czar.

I am O.K. if The FDA gets more regulatory power,
as long as we all sit down and recognize
that Food is our Medicine and drugs are
heroic measures. Let the FDA enforce
Michelle's Obama's program of good
food in the schools, and start busting
junk on campus.

I am O.K. with the USDA continuing to have
a Codex Alimentarius delegation, as long
as we appoint Michael Pollan and others
for the next 40 years to determine
a new set of "Food Rules" based on
whole, pure, natural; fresh and local.

I am O.K. with Food Safety laws.
let us recognize now that Big Ag
has its limits and the foundation
for both Food Safety and Food Security
is Know Your Farmer. Know Your Food.
local, organic, yesterday, now, tomorrow.

We need to sit down and figure out
how. May the Dialogue between Science,
Ethics, and Food now begin.

MAY 9, 2010 UPDATE
ON THE DIALOGUE ON SCIENCE,ETHICS, an FOOD

How ethically was it the PB,
One of the world's largest and most trusted
oil extraction companies, was exempted
from having to turn in environment reports
before endangering the entire eco-system
of the Gulf region's marine food system?

How ethical is it that the US position of
food today is that there is no difference
between GMO and Organic food, and therefore
labeling GMO food would only make
more and more people question
the value of GMO Foods and their Food Safety?

What science is behind both of this
current Food Security Issues?

Join the Dialogue now.

Let us together look at the state of
science in America.

Let us look at the ethics that we
as a nation have committed to the road
of what some see as responsible technology
and other see as the death of life on the planet.

It is time to enter this dialogue.
It is time to recognize that we are banking
economically on scienctific reports that may
nave no truth to them, or do they?
We better find out now.

At the Codex Alimentarius Commission May 3-7,
the US Clearly stood up in the face of a conscensus
of the world to proclaim that we as a nation are
going down the BiO path. BIO means Biotechnology
Industry Organization path. Codex makes
us the Food Rules that most nations buy into.
If a nation disagrees, they do not get trade sanctions.
Favorable Trade sanctions are determined by
those who coming into agreement with the
Codex Alimentarius Commission, the body
run by the U.N., the multinational ag organization,
and financially supported by the world's leading
multi-national corps.

Where do you stand?
Who is serving your best interests now?

Are you giving your personal O.K.
to new Food Safety laws that will increase
the role of the FDA in our lives?
Are you sideing with the FDA and its
regulators who are at the forefront
ramming the U.S. Pro-GMO position
up the world's rear end?


Now is the time to vote the future of food
you want kids to eat.

JOIN THE DIALOGUE ON SCIENCE, ETHICS,
and FOOD

My POINT OF VIEW

Washington is now primarily Pro GMO.
This is based on science over the last twenty years
much of it approved by the FDA.
it is time to dialogue on the assumptions
we have made in Washington that are now
determining our fate both at sea and on the land.

What is the effect of chemical dispersants
we are applying in the gulf?

What technology are we using?
What basis is there for this kind of technology?
Where are the reports of its safety
for cancer and immune system impact?
