Big companies would have total control!</p><p>This is what has been going on without people knowing about it:</p><p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9q1QXt4Sw0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9q1QXt4Sw0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Is The Death of Organic Upons Us?</strong></p><p>The presenters of these bills were asking President Obama to nationalize farming.  Do you realize what that means?   The farmers would have been obliged to buy genetically modified seeds as well as their pesticides AND organic farming would have been  outlawed!</p><p>You may think that law would not have affected you, the small home gardener, but it would have &#8230; and  dramatically  and drastically so!</p><p><strong><em><span>If bills HR875 and S425 had been passed through the US legistature, it would have affected everyone who wants to garden organically &#8212; even those who want a little organic vegetable garden in their backyard so they can grow healthy vegetables.</span></em></strong></p><p>The acceptance of Bills HR875 and S425 would have totally destroyed organic gardening!</p><p>Farmers (and small gardeners) would have been forced to buy only genetically modified seeds sold by these specific companies such as those spearheaded by Monsanto.   No organically grown seeds&#8212; or heritage seeds &#8212; would have been allowed to be planted by farmers, and by the same token, not even in your little garden in your back yard.</p><p>At the moment Organic farmers are the targeted group.    However, the implication is that those people who are putting up a small garden in their back yard could be fined as well. This short video on youtube explains why</p><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a title="How Passing Bills HR875 and S425 Can Affect Organic Farmers/Gardeners" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQvGBljwnSE" target="_blank">How Passing Bills HR875 and S425 Will Affect Organic Gardeners/Farmers</a></strong><br /> <a title="&lt;b&gt;How Bills HR875 and S425 Will Affect Organic Gardeners&lt;/b&gt;" href="http://" target="_blank"></a></p><p>You might also want to google &#8220;<strong>GMO</strong>&#8221; and listen to videos explaining how this technology is used within the food industry.   In addition, you can rent the video &#8220;<strong>Future of Our Food</strong>.&#8221;   It&#8217;s so important that people know this information now and realize its implications  before it&#8217;s too late.</p><p>To summarize a bit &#8212; If President Obama does one day pass these bills or anything like them,  farmers will be forced to  use genetically modified seeds for their farming; otherwise, they could (and would) be heavily fined (up to $500,000) or even have their farm and all belongings confiscated.</p><p>Here&#8217;s an example of   a heart-breaking scenario which has in fact happened and could happen over and over again:</p><p>If I want to use organically certified seeds for my organic garden and my next door farmer grows genetically modified seeds and some of these seeds inadvertently blow into and grow in my yard, I can be heavily fined because I did not buy the seeds from Monsanto et al&#8217;s company.  If I don&#8217;t pay, I could lose all I own &#8212; everything I have worked for all my life!</p><p>In addition, my organic crop would be tainted by this GMO crop mixing with mine, and I would have a lot of difficulty getting rid of this problem .</p><p><strong>Organic farming is in danger of being outlawed!</strong> Organic farmers are fighting for their freedom and their rights.</p><p>If these big GMO pushing companies  get their way and legislation is allowed to go in their favor now or in the future, organic farming and organic gardening will  cease to exist.  People would have <strong>NO choice</strong>.  Istead of  eating organically grown vegetables, they will have to eat genetically modified foods which can do untold harm to our bodies and our health.</p><p>And what about our children&#8217;s future?</p><p>Here&#8217;s another video which tells about what GMO foods could end up doing to us humans, especially our children, and that information is even more scary!</p><p><object id="VideoPlayback" style="width: 425px;
