HR 875 Update from Organic Consumers Association

ALERT Update OF THE WEEK
HR 875 Update: Will the Real "Monsanto Bill" Please Stand Up?
News of a "Monsanto Bill to Criminalize Organic Farming" has been speeding around the internet. The Organic Consumers Fund, OCA's lobbying partner in Washington, DC, analyzed the bill and determined that we could not support food safety legislation like this that could be applied in a one-size-fits-all manner to all farms, including organic and farm-to-consumer operations -- especially a bill that references the National Animal Identification System (a voluntary USDA animal tagging program that some influential members of Congress are trying to make mandatory for every owner of even a single farm animal). With these concerns, we put out this alert on March 12.
Nevertheless, we were alarmed by the misleading headlines attached to anti-HR 875 alerts. Even if this bill were passed as is today, it wouldn't criminalize organic farming. The bill would require farms to have a food safety plan, allow their records to be inspected, and comply with food safety regulations. To say this is tantamount to criminalization doesn't give organic farmers enough credit.
Worse, linking this bill to Monsanto (for no other reason than because the bill's sponsor Rosa DeLauro is married to political operative Stan Greenberg, who lists Monsanto as a past client) obscures the real damage Monsanto is doing in Congress. This past week, Monsanto got a bill passed in committee that forces GMOs on Africa.

A world without money

I have a dream of a world without money. I was "downloaded" with this idea while in nature ~ even people selling their "wisdom" of creating & manifesting are by definition still participating in the old world matrix of scarcity, lack & separation.

What if everyone offered their gifts free from the heart? What if our ability to create heaven on earth begins with the leap of faith of giving freely, or trading services?

Can you be okay without money? That is the question these times are asking of us. Are you powerful enough to step up & realize you ARE God?
Abundance is all around us in the sun's warmth, the spring water, the tree's canopy...Can you let go of fancy shoes & blackberry phones to experience true abundance that is your birthright?

These ideas are just talk unless you JUMP with faith!
