Prop 37: A Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food is Needed by YourEnchantedGardener .....
If Biotech feels they have another plan better than nature, let them honestly enter a true Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food on the stage of the AAAS with all points of view expressing. The tension between GMO Lovers and Organic Lovers will lessen because truth will be told. It is only then that Science will be restored to the role it was meant to play.

SUMMARY
Prop 37: A Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food is Needed
This comment is pending approval and won't be displayed until it is approved.
Prop 37 can be compared to a Football game, but the final vote will not record the outcome of this game. Each maneuver of the campaign was like a play of the game, The difference between the Prop 37 campaign and a football game is that there were no rules here based on ethics. In football, you have referees in stripped black and white shirts. In this game of politics, there were no fair referees.
It is not a Fair Fight, when the No side buys a full page ad in a local black paper in Oakland and says that grocery bills will go up $400.00 if YES wins. That simply was not true. That was a deception.
It was not a Fair fight to scare local San Diego farmers into believing that they
would be vulnerable to suits if Yes passed. Their was no basis of reality in that. Farmers are farmers. They have enough on their minds, and do what they do best. The best of them grow our food in a Godly way. Organic is too small a word to describe the inherent holiness of a farmer. We will not allow Monsanto or anyone to continue to desecrate our relationship to the soul by further degrading our seeds or soil. Food is precious. Food is used to Plant Your Dream. Food is Sacred substance.
We will one day be a nation of Wellness Warriors who take time each day to live so that when we are 90, we look 60. This day is coming. How fast can a Dream Grow? As Fast as a Blade of Grass. We were born to plant this dream. We have already planted it. God bless us all, Yes and No alike. If Biotech feels they have another plan better than nature, let them honestly enter a true Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food on the stage of the AAAS with all points of view expressing. The tension between GMO Lovers and Organic Lovers will lessen because truth will be told. It is only then that Science will be restored to the role it was meant to play.
THE REST IS HERE

OUR GRASSROOTS ARE GROWING STRONGLY.
LET'S SHOW THEM.
These are grains of KAMUT ® brand Khorasan ancient wheat growing a few days before the vote on 37 Nov 6. They were vital, strong, and would not be stopped until Labeling was a done deal in America The Beautiful..
Prop 37: A Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food is Needed
Prop 37 can be compared to a Football game, but the final vote will not record the outcome of this game. Each maneuver of the campaign was like a play of the game, I have been playing this game full on since February. I am very weary and tired. The difference between the Prop 37 campaign and a football game is that there were no rules here based on ethics. In football, you have referees in stripped black and white shirts. In this game of politics, there were no fair referees.
In America, we count on our scientists as truth tellers. We trust Science. Yet, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) experience, coming out a week before the Vote to say No on 37, is just the tip of the iceberg; we can no longer look to Science as a fair gauge of the truth.
We can not even look to the FDA, our Food and Drug Admin, to be our fair referee. The FDA, The AAAS, many in Government, and Monsanto all imagine that it is O.K to treat the farms with Biotech Ag. I am Your Enchanted Gardener, a keeper of Sacred Seeds. I guarantee you, Nature will not allow this. She will bring us Hurricanes and tsunamis, super weeds, and drought, until we see the Light of YES. I am sorry. That is the way it is.
In a game of football, someone blows a whistle when the teams are off sides or break the rules. In the Prop 37 contest, there were no rules, and apparently no referees we can trust fully. Hopefully, the Department of Justice and FBI, as requested by the CA Right to Know, will step in to show that there still is some integrity in Government that addresses foul play. This has not been a fair fight.
My friend John Vasconcellos, the former CA State Senator, 38 years in government, was a friend of both Democrats and Republicans. We ate lunch a few weeks ago. One of his old Republican allies showed up for the lunch. She loves him as we all do who ame to lunch. She only remembers John for good. His current project is the Politics of Trust. That is his legacy. We definitely need The Politics of Trust today. Many virgins of politics stepped on this field of play for the first time through Prop 37. They will go away outraged, and fired up. I am so very sorry to have witnessed this political contest called Prop 37.
It is no test of truth to say the strength of our food movement can be judged by the numbers who voted against Prop 37. Every vote for YES is a victory in the face of dishonesty among Scientists. Ethics had been thrown out. No whistle was blown loud enough to say NO had cross the line. People will not forget. Prop 37 will not end Nov 6. That is only the beginning.
It is not a Fair Fight, when the No side buys a full page ad in a local black paper in Oakland and says that grocery bills will go up $400.00 if YES wins. That simply was not true. That was a deception.
It was not a Fair fight to scare local San Diego farmers into believing that they
would be vulnerable to suits if Yes passed. Their was no basis of reality in that. Farmers are farmers. They have enough on their minds, and do what they do best. The best of them grow our food in a Godly way. Organic is too small a word to describe the inherent holiness of a farmer. We will not allow Monsanto or anyone to continue to desecrate our relationship to the soul by further degrading our seeds or soil. Food is precious. Food is used to Plant Your Dream. Food is Sacred substance.
in 1919, Alfred W. McCann, an honest member of the Press, wrote about the
"Moneybags"--Special interests-- that stole our government. McCann said, if we continued in our ways, we would come to witness the most extreme of hardship and ill health in America. We now bear witness economically to the Empty Harvest that McCann announced. We do not even know today that GMO are part of that desecration. No one on the Yes side, even asked to get rid of them. We just wanted choice to have innocent people know they were there.
Nina Federoff, the AAAS President, was at the same conference where I met Dr. Robert Fraley, the Father of Round Up Technology in 2010. Read and debate her book "Mendel in the Kitchen." It gives the BIO--Biotechnology Industry Organization-- point of view splendidly. Nina is now "our Ambassador of GE." President Bush, who was served organic food in the White House, appointed her. Hilary Clinton kept her on. She was a devoted NO on 37 supporter.
We already have a perfect technology that goes with living on our most precious planet--Nature's Original Technology. Soil of our earth is a womb made to grow one of her most precious natural resources--a Fully Alive Human Being. We will Win Back Our Sacred Seeds. The affront of Science and its No on 37 position was that they did not grasp that in attempting to deny us the Right to Know what is in our food, a crime against humanity was being committed.
We will one day be a nation of Wellness Warriors who take time each day to live so that when we are 90, we look 60. This day is coming. How fast can a Dream Grow? As Fast as a Blade of Grass. We were born to plant this dream. We have already planted it. God bless us all, Yes and No alike. If Biotech feels they have another plan better than nature, let them honestly enter a true Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food on the stage of the AAAS with all points of view expressing. The tension between GMO Lovers and Organic Lovers will lessen because truth will be told. It is only then that Science will be restored to the role it was meant to play.

Science, Ethics and Food: Reflections on Prop 37, on the eve of the election...
So the question remains: Why this position right now? Why would such a mainstream scientific organization stick its neck out on a highly controversial issue just days before the election? And how we can trust any future AAAS statements to be based on science, instead of what this looks like: A carefully-orchestrated political and public relations maneuver that puts the AAAS motto to shame: “Advancing science, serving society.” The only interests this charade serves are those of the biotech, chemical, and junk food industries.
Serving Science or Monsanto?

Michelle Simon, in her article, "Serving Science or Monsanto?" on her website, AppetiteforProfit.com, calls out the Board of Directors of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the AAAS, one of the most prestigious science organizations in the world, for coming out for "NO on 37" within a week of the Historic Vote in California.
Some folks wanted to give CA the Right to Know and Label Genetically Engineered foods. We all got together and raised nearly 1 million signatures to get this People's Grassroots initiative on the ballot. We knew we would go up against Big Ag and The Pesticiders. In truth, "The World According to Monsanto" will never be the same. We have made our point. We won. I claim Victory now. Every vote YES was a victory.
My own inspiration is called the Campaign to Grow A Healthier Pizza, inspired by numbers who signed my original petition on Change.org that stood up to the folks in Congress that defined Pizza as a Vegetable and sold out our kids once again to poor nutrition. I will not stop until there are more than 7.5 million + 2 in America who realize that the way to put Special Interests in their place is to grow some of our own food. Not only is the Right to Know a birthright that needs to be guaranteed by our constitution, but the Know-how -- HOW to Grow A Healthier Pizza -- ought be taught to every child and adult around the world.
SENDING GRACE TO PROP 37 VOTERS 2012
Each year, my first stop inside the Hall at the Natural Product Expo West, is to visit the Flower Essence Services Booth. I highly recommend these remarkable remedies. Amen.
I would like to see a version of this in the Huffington Post.
