  1. Global March Against Monsanto – Saturday, May 24, 2014. Google it (can’t post link) to find the event nearest you and join millions worldwide marching to take back our food!!

  2. It is a well known fact that Anyone can sue for anything at anytime, no matter how large or small. Taking that idea one step further, if Monsanto sues Vermont which is in actuality sueing the good people of Vermont then the people need to counter sue for billions of dollars, not millions literally billions, Monsanto is trying to kill us all and the planet earth by polluting the plants, animals and people with deadly GMO’s. I would like the to see the good people of Vermont set a precedent for the USA and the rest of the world that if we need to sue to stop Monsanto then so be it!!!

      jury nullification is the answer. The people can kill Monsanto right in the court room if they all stand together.

      What amount should Vermont sue Monsanto for? How much is that corporation valued for..the entire company, its international operations, its stock, it assets? Double that amount… should be about right.

  3. It is way past time to get a Class Action lawsuit started here in the USA against them and their products, not just the GMO seeds/foods but also for the pesticides that have been proven to cause kidney failure. If enough people got a blood test that showed heightened amounts of the chemicals that are found in the foods that have been sprayed with RoundUp – maybe we could prove that we ARE being systematically poisoned.

    You need to get your facts straight before spreading untruths! I have personally been in contact with Senator Sears to ask him about the following statement.
    “You can guess who is on Monsanto’s latest pay-roll. Sen. Dick Sears,
    D-Bennington, chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee warned that,
    although he ‘supports a labeling bill’, he feels that there are
    potential litigation costs which could hinder state finances. He also
    mentions that dairy would also be excluded from the bill, but currently
    there is no GMO dairy in Vermont.”
    This was his response:
    “I chair the Vermont Senate Judiciary Committee, we supported the bill 5-0, I voted for the bill every opportunity I had. I worked to make the bill stronger and received accolades from the advocates for the bill.”
    I’m glad I contacted this Senator before re-posting your article! I can tell you I won’t be reading your articles anymore, they can’t be trusted!

    Monsanto has not threatened to sue the state of Vermont. You should check your facts before publishing.

  6. If we have nothing to fear from GMO’s…and if the are really totally harmless…why does Monsanto so strongly object to GMO’s being labelled as such?
    Usuaully when a corporation tries to hide something…it means that it is information they don’t want you to have – and probably because if you had the information, you would make other choices.
    Generally, a corporation does not try to suppress information about something that is totally and completely harmless!

      “why does Monsanto so strongly object to GMO’s being labelled as such?” I can’t say for sure, but it probably has something to do with the fact that there is no sane reason for labelling GMO’s. There is nothing to hide, the overwhelming majority of scientific studies demonstrate that GM food crops are just as safe as their non-GM counterparts. This information is readily available to anyone, and especially easy to find if you have internet access. Aside from that, one reason that labelling is a bad idea is that public policy should not be dictated by a vocal minority who are either unwilling or unable to understand the fact that the safety of GMO’s has been repeatedly. consistently and authoritatively demonstrated by both industry and independent scientists across the globe for decades.

      1. Oh yeah? That so? How about all the drugs the FDA approves…and then we later find out have horrible side effects? Just as an example ACTOS…the diabetes drug was later shown to cause bladder cancer – and here’s the rub…the company that makes Actos…KNEW it caused bladder cancer AND HID THIS FACT…in order to gain FDA approval.
        It is easy for any shady group with connections to CLAIM to be “independent” and commission a study which produces the answers that those who financed the study wanted to get.
        AGAIN….if they are SO HARMLESS….then what in the hell is the problem Monsanto has with labelling them GMO’s…so that THOSE OF US WHO DO NOT WANT TO CONSUME GMO’s…have control over our own bodies and what goes into them…and can make informed consumer decisions. It is obvious to me that Monsanto has NO INTEREST in their consumers being at all educated…or having any choice, for that matter.
        Oh, and giving ME the choice to be an informed consumer…and decide for myself what goes into my body…IS a “sane reason” for labelling GMO’s. Or are you telling me that I should have no right to decide these things for myself…that Monsanto’s “right” to gigantic profits…trumps MY right to be an informed consumer, and MY right to decide for myself what goes into my body?

        The overwhelming number of research scientists know that it’s in their best interests to torture data gained from experimental results in favor of their paymasters. Your attempt at whitewashing the case of (what are usually very time-limited and sparsely tested ) GM crops leads me to believe either
        1) You are a very naive & poorly informed dude or
        2) You are financially interested party in GMOs or
        3) You are affiliated in some way with agenda 21 or
        a mixture of these.
        Or of course a government shill.
        GMOs generally DO NOT DELIVER on what they’re designed to do, and in any case any path that leads to such companies owning all the seed patents is simply dead in the water anyway so the business model is TOAST. Have a nice GMO-free day.

          You are incorrect.

  7. Loren Carle says:

    what about boycotting potential legal proceedings altogether. Honestly, what are they going to do? Whose army will they send in?

  8. Monsanto will just buy the judge.
