Obama signs 'Monsanto Protection Act' written by Monsanto-sponsored senator — RT America
28 Mar, 2013
United States President Barack Obama has signed a bill into law that was
written in part by the very billion-dollar corporation that will
benefit directly from the legislation.
On Tuesday, Pres. Obama inked his name to H.R. 933, a continuing
resolution spending bill approved in Congress days earlier. Buried 78 pages
within the bill exists a provision that grossly protects biotech
corporations such as the Missouri-based Monsanto Company from
litigation.
With the president’s signature, agriculture giants that deal with
genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and genetically engineered
(GE) seeds are given the go-ahead to continue to plant and sell
man-made crops, even as questions remain largely unanswered about
the health risks these types of products pose to consumers.
