Well I guess that was pretty successful. I was really surprised there wasn't an official event planned in my town, although they probably did something anyway.

How many of those hippies are willing to boycott Monsanto? If they don't know which foods contain GMO ingredients, how many are willing to hire a private lab to tell them?
Never fear,freedom lovers,help is on the way!
Yes,these paragons of liberty have heard your anguished cries.U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) today introduced the Genetically Engineered Food Right-to-Know Act, bipartisan legislation that would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to clearly label genetically engineered (GE) foods so that consumers can make informed choices about what they eat.
Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Mark Begich (D-AK), Jon Tester (D-MT), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Martin Heinrich (D-NM) are cosponsors of the Senate bill. Representatives Jared Polis (D-CO), Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), Chellie Pingree (D-ME), Donna Christensen (D-Virgin Islands), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Peter Welch (D-VT), James Moran (D-VA), Louise Slaughter (D-NY), Don Young (R-AK), Jim McDermott (D-WA), Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Jared Huffman (D-CA), Jackie Speier (D-CA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Gerry Connolly (D-VA), George Miller (D-CA), David Cicilline (D-RI), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Grace Napolitano (D-CA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and Ann Kuster (D-NH) are cosponsors of the House bill.

Inspired by US Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, this site is dedicated to facilitating grassroots initiatives that aim to restore a sovereign limited constitutional Republic based on the rule of law, states' rights and individual rights. We seek to enshrine the original intent of our Founders to foster respect for private property, seek justice, provide opportunity, and to secure individual liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
A police state is a small price to pay for living in the freest country on earth.
Clearly a necessary function of the federal government, since no private lab could ever have the ability to perform tests or report results.... legislation that would require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to clearly label genetically engineered (GE) foods so that consumers can make informed choices about what they eat.

Yes, we are totally capable of not eating poison even without the federal government's coercive interference. Do you assume that the FDA is somehow cheaper to fund than private labs would be? Or that the FDA is somehow less prone to corruption? FDA is more reliable than private labs?

Where are you getting any of this? The FDA runs on stolen taxpayer money. Look, I am completely on board with you when it comes to government's coercive interference, but it just so happens that the government has thrown it's weight behind Monsanto. They are a protected corporation, not a private entity. They're not some success story about a guy in his garage. This is a government-run and government-funded entity that is shielded from the market by government. It's erroneous to think Monsanto is private in any form or fashion. The patent is what makes them what they are. How can you patent nature?
There are lots of ways in which private farmers are being hurt by Monsanto. Many of them have been documented. Do your own research. The laws that protect them should be enough to show you that there is a reason they are above the competition, and it's not because of their customer service.How is Monsanto stopping your neighbor from growing food, or stopping you from buying it?

Were you really expecting to find a bunch of statists in this thread? Nobody's advocating government interference here. We just want the Monsanto protectionism to stop. How can you be so blind as to rail against government intervention and then defend Monsanto? Monsanto is not a private company.

Puts out hook and net. Who can avoid both?
"When a portion of wealth is transferred from the person who owns it—without his consent and without compensation, and whether by force or by fraud—to anyone who does not own it, then I say that property is violated; that an act of plunder is committed." - Bastiat : The Law

"I mean can you imagine what it would be like if firemen acted like police officers? They would only go into a burning house only if there's a 100% chance they won't get any burns. I mean, you've got to fully protect thy self first." ~ juleswin
How much has Monsanto spent on bribing/lobbying Washington DC and state governments?
I think there was a GMO bill in California that became a Hot Potato and Monsanto spent millions fighting requirements on GMO disclosure.
Here's the shocker, I have seen ZERO coverage by Fascist TELEVISION/AIRWAVE media on the GMO protests..
CBS's Face The Nation was so biased on coverage and blocking all Obama/Holder scandals, they gave half the show to climate change by unknowns.

For $#@!s sake better-than-dead-fed Monsanto is not a result of the free market it is a creation of government. It is a Rockefeller owned standard oil derivative (automatically disqualifies it), subsidized by the government, and protected by it through the FDA and USDA.
