Obama's Admin Leans toward Agribusiness & GMOs

More news on Obama admin.

Tom Visack is now in line to be Obama's Secretary of Agriculture - Despite strong opposition from progressives in the sustainability and agriculture communities.

The former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack it is claimed by these groups to have actively supported genetically engineered crops and is not a friend to organic gardeners.
Rather they claim he is a friend to the Monsanto, which vigorously promotes
genetic engineering and viciously opposes (not an exaggeration) labeling it.

You can sign this petition to try to block his confirmation and pass this along to all your friends.
