GARDEN MANAGEMENT JOURNAL

It is one week before the Federal election. My Spirit has felt beaten down by personal experiences I have had on the trail of working night and day for near 9 months on Prop 37, The Right to Know and Label Genetically Engineered Foods.
I am disheartened to have some of my closest trusted allies and supporters voting against the measure that is basically a consumer rights issue.
I feel hurt that some of the arguments that these allies are using are based on false advertising and a willing intent to deceive the individual good that are part of the No on 37 Campaign that is spending more than 41 million.
I am finding outright deception and arguments that have been taken up by the advocates of Biotech Ag in America.
I questioned my own health and mental stamina during these the final month of the campaign. I am losing things. Last night I arrived at a new print place, FedEx Print, without my thumb drive that contained all my work. I had to go home and get it.
I give thanks to the Flower Essences Services (FES) and QuintEssential Products I am using to help with balance, as well as graceful moments in the garden. It is my Blogging that gives my mind order, I admit, too much so.
I have a pattern to do too much. My spirit has directed me to prepare materials in advance for the on-going Campaign to Grow A Healthier Pizza...that is no less that a rally cry to return America the Beautiful.
I am convinced that without a concerted Grassroots movement functioning in government and influencing Washington and each state, we have no roots
to grow our individual dreams.
I am misplacing things. I took many hours Saturday to clean up and attempt to start to organize notebooks and papers. I still cannot see a clear desk.
The foundation of my organization now is a couple of designed Pizza Boxes that act as brief cases for various aspects of my project.
I would like to hire some other Artists to help with the new designs for the next steps.
A book will come out of this. I have already started to lay out book chapters.
Thank You for Your Support
I am grateful to all who have supported the Caravan, September 1-10, to the National Heirloom Expo, September 11-12-13 in Santa Rosa,CA. I was a teacher there. Anyone who attended would not think twice about seeing the bigger picture and voting YES on Prop 37.
We Need a National Conversation, Chewing on Food Safety, at a new Level. Truly, an Honest Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food is Needed
There is a compelling story told through many skilled in science, advocacy, and common sense farming and gardening, that points out that we are in a food emergency. We need to get into a national conversation, Chewing on Food Safety, at a new level.
The Pizza as a Vegetable Debacle in Congress, Fall 2011, and the
Prop 37 Attempted Corporate Buyout are Strong in my Thoughts
The events in Washington D.C. last Fall, where Congress chose saving bucks over the health of our children's lunches--the Pizza as a Vegetable incident--and the assault on people's intelligence through the deception and convincing arguments that would attempt corporate domination of our voting process here in CA, and likely elsewhere, convince me now that we need to stand strong. Let's Move in this direction--We have a Right to Know and we need the Know how to grow some of our own food. Our Seeds have been placed in jeopardy. It is time to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds.
You are I are that Sacred Seed.
Here is the beginning of the Petition.
Please comment and sign this Draft...
I will put up a later draft...
that takes into account your revisions.
CAMPAIGN TO GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA
Fall 2012
A Petition directed toward our President, Congress, and Individual leaders in Government and Business to Join us in ensuring that the USA not only has the Right to Know but our Children and adults are encouraged to have the Know How to grow some of our own food. 7.5 Million + 2 of Us will accept the mandate to Grow Some of Our Own Food. We see that we are now in a National Food Emergency that can be remedied by hands-on experience getting our beat back with nature. The commitment to the Right to Know our Foods ingredients--including Genetically Modified Ingredients in our foods-- will begin to return our nation to good health, personal economic prosperity, and well being.
THE PETITION WORDS
The United States of America, to fulfill its destiny as a nation based on principles of Democracy and Freedom, requires people who are given choice, not only in the Right To Know all the ingredients in our foods, But the skills Know How to maintain Pure Food Independence. Let's Move in the direction of encouraging youth and adults being to Grow some of our own Food. These events are compelling and ask us to take action: Events in Washington Fall 2012, where Congress backed a bottom line to save a dollar over our children's health--The Pizza as Vegetable Debacle; and events in California surrounding the attempt to overcome the People"s initiative called Prop 37. We call for: A thorough investigation of media and government of strategies intended to steal America's from our national foundational principles. Our rally cry now is Grow A Healthier Pizza! Win Back Our Sacred Seeds. We will continue to ask for Food Labeling and Pure Food Safety. Labeling needs to include Labeling Genetically Engineered Foods on state and national levels. We Petition ourselves to acknowledge We as a nation have a Grassroots Food Movement, local and sustainable. We ask each other, our President, and Congress to join us in encouraging local sustainable action and activities. Let's move our nation in this direction.

America The Beautiful
America the Beautiful
Words by Katharine Lee Bates,
Melody by Samuel Ward
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
