This is coming around the bend and we better act soon or Monsanto will end up controlling every dam alfalfa field in the nation!
This link will tell you how to take action if you want to maintain normal alfalfa.
Remember this genetically modified crop will end up in you through the meat you eat!
This is from a consumer advocate group called Fresh.
Back in February, you signed the FRESH petition demanding that the USDA listen to our concerns regarding Monsanto's genetically engineered alfalfa.
Despite overwhelming opposition, the USDA is dangerously close to lifting the ban on GE alfalfa.
We've already sent over 10,000 signatures to the USDA opposing GE alfalfa, but we need to keep pushing. Let's continue to make sure that our voices are heard.
Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) are currently circulating a Congressional 'Dear Colleague' letter in the House and Senate, asking the USDA to maintain the ban on genetically engineered alfalfa. The letter will be open for signature till June 4th.
PLEASE contact your Members of Congress TODAY and urge them to sign onto this letter.

We need to be clear that we do NOT want Monsanto's genetically engineered alfalfa contaminating organic and non-GE alfalfa crops.
Alfalfa is one of the major food sources for certified organic animals. If the USDA lets Monsanto sell its new alfalfa, it will inevitably overtake organic alfalfa crops through the natural pollination process, threatening the integrity of organic dairy.
Please tell Congress to sign onto Senator Leahy's 'Dear Colleague' letter today. Together we can make our voices heard.

Eat safe,
