Comment on Environmental Impact Statement Delays New Monsanto and Dow 2,4-D Resistant Crops by Colin Rees

We have the same problem over here in the UK. The government buries its head in the sand hoping it will go away. We have also had the same thing with tankers dumping PIB off the coast killing sea birds. Now they are going to kill badgers just to see if it helps with the TB in cattle, without any evidence to substantiate this theory.

We should try our best to interfere nature as little as possible.

It is time that the big companies left the environment alone all they think about is making money and to hell with the consequences, the day that the bee’s disappear is the day that we all starve. make your voice heard and say NO TO PESTICIDES

Comment on Biotech Rider Undermines U.S. Food Security by Tara

I am against the House Resolution 933 (the Monsanto protection act rider used as blackmail to avoid a government shutdown – and if we had LINE ITEM VETO this would not happen). This is blackmail is designed to destroy the small farms, the environment and every citizen’s health. If you want to approve potentially harmful substances into our environment then you should test it on yourself, your family and the company that wants to introduce it into the ecosystem, my system and the environment. Congress, Senate, Supreme Court, Executive, and the company that is propagating the possible (probable) poisonous and DNA damaging substance needs to eat it, drink it and live in it for five to ten years. Your family and children need to be the guinea pigs with you before you make me the unwilling test subject. After that time if you and your family are alive well, and healthy with no DNA damage that will affect your future health, and the health and DNA of your future offspring then I will trust your decision. -Tara (DNA poisoned via father’s contaminated DNA due to repeated exposure to Agent Orange while proudly serving his country in Vietnam. This DNA damage has destroyed my family’s health and future.)

This necessitates decisive disruptive action against the chemical companies in the regulatory, financial, and political processes all around the world.

Do you agree.

Comment on New Federal Report on Honey Bee Health by Ron S.

When government scientists finally determined there is no safe level of radiation exposure, a whole nuckear power industry was allowed to develop following a directive to keep exposure rates “as low as reasonably achievable”.The U.S. has a pathetically worthless record of regulatory oversight. We pay the price in increased risks and mortality. We no longer lead the world in life expectancy. In America, life expectancy has diminished in recent years and infant mortality has increased. We are allowing ourselves to be killed slowly to allow increased corporate profit as they shift labor and jobs overseas. At what point is it all treason?

What the ‘powers-that-be’ don’t seem to grasp is that without bees there will be no food for anyone else.

Surely, if there is the slightest suspicion that human activities are affecting bees, whatever is under suspicion should be ceased IMMEDIATELY until proved that is not a problem.

It baffles me how people want to change something that is perfectly working good in the first place, embrace the bee people, be the bee, love the bee, love yourselves and love the bee. Maybe someone has an upset with a bee that stung them or maybe killed them.

Here we go again. The chemical companies have lined the pockets of our decision makers thus slowing or totally stopping any decisive actions that would affect the bottom line of those companies.
In the meantime bees die, pollination slows thus creating food shortages, price increases with no further proactive solutions in sight.
