Corporations aren’t people and elections shouldn’t be for
sale. If you agree,
you’ll love "The Story of Citizens United vs FEC", a new 8 minute
animated short by Annie Leonard, author of The Story of Stuff.
Since the US Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling, we have overwhelming
evidence of the damage done to our democracy by throwing millions of
dollars at elections. Annie explains
the ruling, its fallout, and why we need to overturn it. Click

Farmers Sue USDA Over Monsanto Alfalfa - Again!
"A coalition of farmers and environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) on March 18 to challenge the agency's recent decision to fully deregulate Monsanto's Roundup Ready alfalfa. This is the second time the USDA has been sued over its approval of Roundup Ready alfalfa, which is genetically engineered (GE) to tolerate glyphosate, a popular herbicide commonly sold under the Monsanto brand name Roundup. The latest lawsuit, filed by groups like the Center for Food Safety (CFS) and the National Family Farm Coalition, opens a new chapter in the five-year battle over the GE alfalfa seed developed by Monsanto and Forage Genetics." ~ from Truthout
