IMPORTANT UPDATE:

The AP just uncovered a series of confidential commercial licensing agreements that give around 200 smaller companies the right to insert Monsanto's genes (resistant to Monsanto's Roundup herbicide) into their corn and soybean plans.  These agreements outline the various practices that Monsanto employs to block out competition in the seed industry, compromising any choice that small farmers might have in the deicison not to grow GMO plants. 

Now, more than ever, we need to make sure the Department of Justice recognizes that we won't stand for this any longer.  Please sign the petition and spread the word to your friends and family to do the same.

___________________

There is a monumental opportunity in 2010 for us to break the monopoly that is plaguing our food system.

President Obama's Department of Justice is finally looking into the stranglehold that a handful of huge corporations have on farms across the country.  

These corporations - like Cargill and Monsanto - have monopolized huge swaths of our country's food and farms, resulting in tremendous negative consequences on our food security, on the ability of small farmers to compete and survive, and ultimately on consumer choice.

For farmers to survive and thrive, we need the government to take action that restores real competition to the farm economy - not the current situation where a few corporations in the grain, seed, dairy and livestock sectors hold excessive control.

In 2010, the Department of Justice will hold public hearings to discuss anti-trust issues in agricultural production. This could be the first step towards the government taking long-needed action to help break the corporate control in our farming and food system. 

We'll deliver your signature and comments to the Department of Justice.

6877 April 28, 2010 Anonymous Anti Trust laws were designed to protect us from monopolistic forces exerting non competitive effect upon the market. We currently suffer from an absence of this protection. Please bring reason back to the discussion table. The impact statements evaluating this technological direction have not been well designed or evaluated to illuminate the dangers at hand.
