A Small Setback

As readers  know by now, H. R. 1599 has passed in the house by a narrow margin.

You can see how your Congressperson voted HERE.
If s/he votes No, please find them in twitter, Facebook, and call them. Thank them for listening to their districts and voting well.

Do the same if your Congressperson voted Yes, tell them how you feel, how this will affect your vote. Tell them WHY their vote screwed the pooch.

The twitter tag #HR1599 is now trending on twitter. Citizens are NOT happy about the obvious power play to obfuscate our food by enacting a voluntary labeling scheme and overriding any and all labeling laws passed by states. Monsanto must be collectively shitting their pants.

We have the Power.

The people do.

We always have.

We have just been convinced we are too small, too late, too weak, too poor to make a difference.

I know we can.

We are so close to tilting the table the companies who want to keep us in the dark are SCARED.

Do your civic duty, call and write to your Senator.


Now is not the time to delay.

The Monsanto Years

Neil Young recently thrilled millions of activists with his latest record released called "The Monsanto Years". The tracks on the album unabashedly sing of the travesties Monsanto has created, what activists are demanding, and the lack of consequences that face large faceless corporations. 


Favorite line of the album:

"Don't say pesticides are causing autistic children 

People want to hear about love 

Don't say people don't vote because they don't trust the candidates 

People want to hear about love"

Buh-Bye Monsanto?

A rose by any other name...

Word is Monsanto has been courting the UK for relocation. Other than listening to cool accents and a milder climate than their current St. Louis location, Monsanto's move would be for tax reasons.


Merging with Syngenta would mean a possible name change. Considering Monsanto's history; Agent Orange, PCBs, Glyphosate, DDT, GMOs, and  bovine growth hormone more than a name change may be needed to reinvent Monsanto's image and social currency.




At the 2015 Monsanto Shareholder's meeting, Moms Across America found Zen Honeycutt personally spoke one on one with  Monsanto CEO Hugh Grant and asked him to consider leading Monsanto in a direction "... one that does not involve toxic chemicals and hurting our children.". Zen also put a proxy up to vote and asked several questions during the Q&A.

Zen Honeycutt addressing activists 

What is the purpose of the name change? Aspartame became AmnioSweet. Black Water became Xe. Phillip Morris became Altria. ValuJet became AirTran. Will Monsanto slide into obscurity? 

Will a name change confuse the public? 


Will a name change mean a new direction for Monsanto?
