What I understood from investigating this is that this bill was to prevent spurious law suits against the big M, by various entities - including, but not limited to, its rivals who could previously have used the law so that the M. research was shut down *while* the investigation was ongoing, not after. I realise I'm putting my head above the trench here, but I'd rather see Monsanto fought by people that can understand the nuances of law and not just knee-jerk 8th-grade reactionary reporting. That, will just hinder any effective opposition to their nefarious hegemony.

The problem is that here in America the mainstream press simply doesn't cover legislation like this...you will only ever hear about it in the alternative press. Another example is TPP, the free trade act Congress is pushing. If people knew about it, they would be rightly horrified and the politicians would be forced to back off just like they did with the SOPA internet censorship bill.

This happened a while ago, there were petitions (which I gladly signed and encouraged everyone I know to sign) before the bill, then after the bill.
It was a shit move by the Democrats that sponsored the bill, stuck in at the last minute. I pray they lose their seats. Personally, I don't blame Obama, though I do blame Washington in general for allowing these earmarks to be snuck in.
This takes the power away from the courts and hands it to the corporations, pure lobbying power and corruption. An excellent example of how America is run by corporations with total disregard for the safety and health of the citizens.
F*cking insane, imho.

This administration has prosecuted more whistle-blowers than all other previous administrations combined. Yeah that woke me up too.

Well if the state isn't going to come together with its communities and start making green housed fruits and veggies then this is going to happen. Every time you support big super markets you are supporting the very thing that is seeking to control us.
Buy fresh and grow local.

The branches of government primarily serve/are indebted to both corporations and the industrial military complex. The American people are the last in line. Until something drastic happens, the government will continue to disappoint the 99% and not lose sleep over it.
