We finally had our Christmas dinner with the sick side of the family last weekend. What a group!
The interesting thing is that everyone had their own interests in the political arena. My brother was interested in financial aspects, tax loopholes, taxing the millionaires and such.
My niece was very vocal on the failings of the ‘health care reform’, and how it has helped no one.
I, of course, was interested in the Monsanto issues.
All of us agreed that there is not a good candidate to run this country that has any clue what is really going on.
My niece talked about how you will be required to get check-ups, and if you don’t do what they tell you to do or meet you health goals for the year – you will be fined. She also talked about how they have made it impossible for health care providers to actually get paid. She said they only get paid 20 or 30 % as it is. That will result in fewer Doctors, and less available health care.
My brother talked about how ‘they’ can see what you do inside your house with super powered satellites. How uncomfortable is that? He said, “1984 is here.” Creepy.
We talked about how Monsanto seeds can blow on to your property and start growing, and then they send in their armed thugs to intimidate you, and then they sue you for growing their seed without paying for it. We talked about the GMOs, and about animals being fed unnatural grain diets and how that affects us.
It occurred to me that we all have issues that we know about, but we don’t even touch the tip of the iceberg. There is so much going on, how can you possibly keep track of even 1% of it all?
Its an overwhelming world we live in. Its hard enough to survive, let alone be educated and involved. Of course, that is what they count on – that we won’t be paying attention.
On January 31, family farmers will take part in the first phase of a court case filed to protect farmers from genetic trespass by Monsanto’s GMO seed, which contaminates organic and non-GMO farmer’s crops and opens them up to abusive lawsuits. In the past two decades, Monsanto’s seed monopoly has grown so powerful that they control the genetics of nearly 90% of five major commodity crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, canola and sugar beets.
In many cases farmers are forced to stop growing certain organic and conventional crops to avoid genetic contamination and potential lawsuits. Between 1997 and 2010, Monsanto admits to filing 144 lawsuits against America’s family farmers, while settling another 700 out of court for undisclosed amounts. Due to these aggressive lawsuits, Monsanto has created an atmosphere of fear in rural America and driven dozens of farmers into bankruptcy.
Their seed blows on to your land, uninvited – and grows. Monsanto thugs threaten and intimidate you because you didn’t buy the seed – and sue you. If you’ve watched any of the Monsanto videos I’ve posted, you’ve seen the way they work.
Farmers need your voice today. Please spread the word today.
Are you watching the 99% movement? If you don’t know about it, the concept is simple – we the people are the 99%. Then there’s the 1% – the richest of the rich, who don’t pay their fair share of taxes.
The 99% face cuts in medicare, unemployment, food stamps, etc. so the 1% still don’t have to pay up.
This issue isn’t about democrat vs republican. Its about fairness, and reminding our government who they really work for.
These boys are giving their lives to protect your rights. Are you doing anything to protect our rights at home?
Our rights are being eroded at a devastating pace.
When a petition comes around on a subject that affects you and yours – do you sign it?
Do you write a letter or make a phone call when it matters?
I get calls to action almost every day – Stop the FDA, stop monstano, remove our food czar, stop the big mergers, and so many others that no one can keep up.
Do you shrug your shoulders and just let our rights evaporate while these boys are out giving their lives?
Let’s bring back our fighting spirit.
If you don’t have an issue to respond to, here’s a few -
