News that is music to my ears ... Here is a letter to Farmers and Ranchers from OCM ...

Have you ever had trouble with Monsanto? Ever seen others you know have trouble? Has your community been affected over the last many years? Want a chance to do something serious about it finally?

OCM - the Organization for Competitive Markets - held a meeting on Monsanto called "Taking It Back" http://www.dailyyonder.com/letter-langdon-talking-seeds-and-freedom-mark-twain-state-park and after that (July 22nd) OCM sent a letter to 23 state attorneys general explaining the economic implications of Monsanto's seed prices on rural communities and continues encouraging several state attorneys general to expand their antitrust investigation into Monsanto's suspected anticompetitive practices in the US seed industry.

You have information. And that information is power after so many years of
powerlessness.

You have lived through what Monsanto has done to farmers, communities, seed
businesses, seed-cleaning businesses, and families. You've seen and you've heard and many of you have suffered directly.

Monsanto has destroyed farming communities not just through its economic weight and patents and lawsuits but by bringing fear and shame in general. Neighbors felt spied on and people stopped trusting each other. People were ashamed by bankruptcy or loss of a business. Farms and businesses got picked off one at a time, throwing a chill into everything that once was connected and good.

(Complete letter at link).
___________________________________________________________________________

The tide is beginning to shift, the farming communities are beginning to rise and speak out, I am so gratified to see this and I know that our fellow Current Crusaders who have been in full support of anything that will further shut down the evil corporation Monsanto, will be equally thrilled to read this link. The farmers and ranchers are the fiber of our country, I salute their gallant efforts!

    Here is a clip from the article regarding one of the meetings that OCM is sponsoring regarding the campaign to "take it back" ....

    Thanks to the internet, (http://www.derrybrownfield.com/listeners.html ) Derry continues to broadcast. According to Brownfield, “I tell it like it is. I’ll be on the air until bury Derry day….. Now (thanks to internet podcasting) I can talk about Monsanto every day!”

    Brownfield says that too many farm magazines are totally silenced by advertising dollars when they should be reporting on the controversy. He says people in foreign countries are better informed of happenings in America than Americans themselves. When it comes to American corporate monopolies, Derry says, “Americans have no idea” about lax enforcement of our antitrust laws. “Where is Congress?” he asked.

    Where is Congress? Where they always are: on break. Leave it to the people to get things done. This is great news. I think I posted about attorney generals investigating Monsanto... good to see something coming from this. About time! Democracy lives.

    Yes, this is great news isn't it? The way Monsanto uses their money to wield their power and stomp out any negative publicity is finally beginning to be seen for what it is.

    Like the old saying goes "the creme always rises to the top"

    (well that was back in the day when there was creme in milk) smiling

    From what I am reading about this, they [OCM] are sponsoring these BBQ's, town meetings, old fashion picnics, and just about anyway they can gather farmers and ranchers to explain what is happening.

    I hope that our site will be useful in spreading the word....
