Monsanto Wins 1st Senate Vote on Roberts-Stabenow DARK Act!
On
July 29, Monsanto scored a preliminary victory, winning a Senate
“test vote” on a bill known as the DARK
Act
that Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) and
Ranking Member Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) introduced to Deny Americans
the Right to Know about GMOs.
$ 873,540.00 is how much Senator Nelson D-FL got from agribusiness. He voted YES
to effectively stop us from knowing what foods are genetically
modified (GMO).
“The Roberts-Stabenow GMO labeling bill would kill the Vermont law that labels GMO foods as “produced with genetic engineering.” Vermont's law is working. GMOs are being labeled. Food prices are staying the same. The labels are being used nationwide.

The
Roberts-Stabenow bill wouldn't require words on the package. It
exempts nearly all GMOs from labeling. It would take at least 2 years
to take effect. And, it’s essentially voluntary because there would
be no enforcement for non-compliance.”
Read
up on it and Google, there is no excuse for a 'yes' vote, to hide
choice, to hurt us and future generations.
