Millions of peoplearound the world were outraged when the bill passed originally and removing theMonsanto Protection Act from the current bill is a sign that the food movementhas arrived politically. The American people are tired of Monsanto’s lies and the manipulation of our political process and we’re not backing down.” - Dave Murphy, Food Democracy Now!
孟山都保护法,是今年3月经美国国会通过的拨款法案HR933中的第735款,正式名称是“农场主担保条款”,国会通过后经奥巴马签署而成为了法律,终因美国人民的坚决反对,在9月底征集到所需要的60万以上签名后,被永久性废除了。令人生疑的是,国内外主流媒体都“步调一致”地保持了沉默!当HR933通过国会批准时,那些媒体高呼美国政府支持孟山都和转基因;而民众运动把它废除掉了,媒体却“步调一致”地对这个罕见的重大事件缄口沉默——孟山都公司养的律师不少于开基因枪的技术专家,这个公司不仅能操纵市场,操纵媒体,玩弄生命,还能操纵法律,制定法律,但是它不可能“搞定”人民。
“孟山都保护法”的核心内容是:即使孟山都公司的转基因农作物被发现对人身体有害、造成了环境污染,即使该公司被告上法庭,即使在诉讼期间,也就是说在任何情况下,孟山都公司都无需停止“生产”和销售,法院不能强制孟山都公司停止行动,也就是说,在任何情况下联邦法院也没有办法对孟山都公司实行制裁。
美国的反转运动取得巨大进展,这是人民大众团结一心拼死斗争得来的胜利!在孟山都保护法出笼期间,“立即实行粮食民主”运动的领导人戴夫.墨菲(Dave Murphy),不仅深刻揭露了孟山都保护法、成功地引导了公众关注,他还带头站在最前线,在白宫门口抗议,即使奥巴马签署了法案,生米似乎已经煮成了熟饭,他们仍然没有放弃,他们坚持斗争直到9月底,终于征集到所需的60万以上的签名,永久性废除了“孟山都保护法”。

Stopping the Monsanto Protection Act: How it Happened.
Earlier this year theworld finally learned how Monsanto works behind the scenes to manipulate ourlaws and elected officials when Congress passed a special interest handout thatbecame known as the Monsanto Protection Act, which was designed to protectMonsanto’s genetically engineered crops from judicial oversight.
Snuck into a must passspending bill, the Monsanto Protection Act was inserted by Monsanto’s minionsin Congress and deceptively titled the “Farmer Assurance Provision” by Monsantolobbyists and members of Congress. Murphy recognized that this was no“assurance” for farmers, but was quite the opposite!
Dave successfully framed the debate when he coined the phrase the“Monsanto Protection Act” last year when this issue first emerged.
In March of this year,something incredible happened, in a matter of days more than 300,000 FoodDemocracy Now! members took action to stop the Monsanto Protection Act. It wasthis phrase that stuck, and along with decisive and bold action, sparked arevolution - and even forced a U.S. senator to apologize.
Even as the MonsantoProtection Act passed being signed by President Obama while we stood in frontof the White House, Dave refused to give up, insisting that this outrage wastoo great to let stand, ultimately helping to generate more than 600,000actions to repeal it by the end of September.
The team at Food Democracy Now! would like to join Jim in recognizing ourfounder, Dave, for this accomplishment and his heroic efforts to raise thisissue globally so that we can put a stop to these atrocities once and forall.
