BEST DEMOCRACY MONEY CAN BUY
2016 July 1 from Olo
[On June 29, Monsanto scored a preliminary victory, winning a Senate “test vote” on a bill known as the DARK Act that would deny Americans the right to know about GMOs in their food.]

You think you live in a democracy? It is only “the best democracy money can buy” to quote a brave American called Greg Palast. Here you have senators Roberts (R), who received almost 3 million, and Stabenow (D) who got 1.5 million, who are paid shills for Monsanto, writing a law to deceive Americans who may want to know what they are eating. Check the list of those who voted YES for Monsanto and see the “heroes” who are paid off to do their “duty of deception” to “The People”

Only 3 Republicans and 26 Democrats voted No. The money they got did not buy their conscience. 52 Republicans and 16 Democrats Voted Yes. The biggest “Donation” went to John McCain, 4.5 million. Is this the democracy that the US is “gallantly” trying to impose on other countries?

If GMO is as good as Monsanto & Co. claim why are they so eagerly trying to hide it? The Obamas have their own organic garden in the White House but are they telling the reason they do not eat GMO veggies? No… God forbid stepping on Big Agri toes.
