Stop Obama's Sec of Agriculture Choice....

Obama's choice for Sec of Agriculture is not exactly the Change many had hoped for. On the contrary. Here's one chance to get onto a petition to oppose. Send to allies, of course. From Organic Consumers... Stop Vilsack's Confirmation as Secretary of Agriculture Despite a massive public outcry, including over 20,000 emails from the Organic Consumers Association, President-Elect Obama has chosen former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack to be the next Secretary of Agriculture. While Vilsack has promoted respectable policies with respect to restraining livestock monopolies, his overall record is one of aiding and abetting Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) or factory farms and promoting genetically engineered crops and animal cloning. Equally troubling is Vilsack's support for unsustainable industrial ethanol production, which has already caused global corn and grain prices to skyrocket, literally taking food off the table for a billion people in the developing world. The Organic Consumers Association is calling on organic consumers and all concerned citizens to join our call to action and block Vilsack's confirmation as the next Secretary of Agriculture. Please help us reach our goal of 100,000 petition signatures against Vilsack' nomination. Sign today! Your email will be sent to your Senators and the President-Elect's office. http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/642/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1783 |
