Monsanto Panics: Drops Another $2.5 Million to Defeat GMO Labeling in Oregon
The ballots are out and voting has begun. Monsanto is panicking, and so are their biotech and GMO manufacturing friends. So much so that the company just dropped another $2.5 million in addition to what they’ve already spent to defeat GMO labeling in Oregon – bringing the total to $4.5 million in just one state.
They also dropped another cool million in Colorado – bringing the total to about $5 million in that state – all to keep voters from checking that YES LABEL GMOs box at the voting booths or on their ballots. What exactly are these companies trying to hide from U.S. consumers?
Monsanto isn’t the only one spending money left and right trying to defeat GMO labeling. Pepsi Co has added another $1.4 million in Oregon to try to defeat GMO labeling, and $1.65 million in Colorado. Other food manufacturing companies have put in their own small change to try to defeat these initiative as well, but we are down to the wire now, and the makers of genetically modified crops are pulling every last trick they can – with heavily run ads and seemingly endless pockets.
A number of organizations are in the process of trying to generate funds and awareness, as many other non-GMO activists try to spread the world so that these big corporations don’t have their way with our food supply. Food Democracy Now currently has a sponsor supporting a 3 to 1 match if you can donate.

If you don’t wnat to put forth funds, though, you can be a mouthpiece for the anti-GMO movement and tell everyone you know (especially if they reside in Colorado or Oregon) the importance of voting these initiatives into place. Tell your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Linked In, Pinterest, Google, – everywhere. Tell your mailman.
Also tell your kids and your grandkids. Tell your parents, and your best friend’s hairdresser. The more people that know about the under-handed tactics of biotech to prohibit the sustainable access of food to consumers, the better. We can defeat them not just with money, but also by educating people about how damaging GMOs are for us and the environment – but we have to act expediently.
Both initiatives – Proposition 105 on the statewide ballot in Colorado and Measure 92 in Oregon will decide if biotech can keep forcing GMOs down our throats.
I hope these companies are defeated.
I hope they are obliterated from the planet. VISUALIZE THIS: An international class-action lawsuit against the biotech industry collectively, including whole countries among the plaintiffs, for Crimes Against Humanity. The suit is won, big biotech is convicted and all their assets, resources, land, facilities, cash and seeds are awarded to plaintiffs. Using a predetermined plan, this bounty is then used to set up world-wide permaculture systems and/or other biodynamic, organic food systems. All biotech management are jailed for life.
I like jazzfeed’s permanent solution to close down corrupt companies that try to buy votes, so that they can profit at the expense of world health! ….. Only Russia seems to have the guts to tackle these criminals.
Jazzfeed, I totally agree with you. A class-action lawsuit against the biotech industry collectively should definitely take place. I just wish that we had some honest, ethical , hardworking lawyers who would band together and make this happen. They would have the majority of citizens behind them! Anyone with a brain knows and sees the rise in disease among Humans and Animals and the devestation of all Living Organisms and this Entire Planet because of these Demonic Companies.
The class action lawsuit would also be against our Dishonest, Deceiving Governnment who are ignoring and turning a BLIND EYE to the Catastrophes Biotechs are creating against Humanity and this Entire Planet.
I hope and pray this this will happen!
Facebook messed with the ‘likes’ on this one. There were over 6000, and now look at it. Should we tape our mouths?
