Multi-Billion $$ Monsanto Sues More Small Family Farmers

Percy Schmeiser is a farmer from Saskatchewan Canada, whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's genetically engineered Round-Up Ready Canola by pollen from a nearby farm. Monsanto says it doesn't matter how the contamination took place, and is therefore demanding Schmeiser pay their Technology Fee (the fee farmers must pay to grow Monsanto's genetically engineered products). According to Schmeiser, "I never had anything to do with Monsanto, outside of buying chemicals. I never signed a contract.
If I would go to St. Louis (Monsanto Headquarters) and contaminate their plots - destroy what they have worked on for 40 years - I think I would be put in jail and the key thrown away."
Rodney Nelson's family farm is being forced into a similar lawsuit by Monsanto.
Support Schmeiser, Nelson and hundreds of other farmers who are being forced to pay Monsanto to have their fields contaminated by genetically modified organisms.

Over the past century, global water supplies have been contaminated with the full gamut of Monsanto's chemicals, including PCBs, dioxin and glyophosate (Roundup). So now the company, seeing a profitable market niche, is taking control of the public water resources they polluted, filtering it, and selling it back to the people. In short, Monsanto is making a double profit by polluting the world's scarce freshwater resources, privately taking ownership of that water, filtering it, and selling it back to those who can afford to pay for it.

    This is wonderful!

    Thank you very much for posting this opportunity to be part of the solution.

    It gives me a great feeling to stand beside such heroic members of our county, as the farmers who are standing up against Monsanto, and sign this petition.

    The letter which is part of the petition is grand!

    I agree although I did read an article that said online petitions were given very little weight.

    Thanks for posting the article SeaJade

    I don't care who said on line petitions were given very little weight...it's still a chance to let my "voice" be heard. Whoever said it was probably just trying to calm the influx of people taking the opportunity to speak out.
    I have signed every petition against Monsanto that I have had access too....and I feel pretty good about that!!
    : ) Peace.
