REMOVE THE Monsanto Protection Act!
Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) has attached the
Monsanto Protection Act Section 735 (HR 933) to the spending bill. This is the same company which created Agent Orange
during the Vietnam War. Agent Orange is the
combination of the code names for Herbicide Orange (HO) and Agent LNX, one of
the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its
chemical warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to
1971. Vietnam estimates
400,000 people were killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects as a result of
its use.[1] The Red Cross of Vietnam estimates that
up to 1 million people are disabled or have health problems due to Agent Orange
(Wikipedia). Not only were the people of
Vietnam adversely affected but so were US soldiers. The Department of Justice (Eric
Holder) launched an extensive investigation.
This investigation ended abruptly without any explanation. For more information please refer to the
article entitled “Justice
Department Shuts down Monsanto Investigation without Explanation”. http://www.corporatecrimereporter.com/news/200/monsantoantitrust11282012/
