In spite of 20,000 e-mails from organic farmers and consumers, in apparent contradiction to his announcement that he wants an organic garden at the White House, President-Elect Obama has chosen Tom Vilsack, a strong bio-tech proponent supporting genetically engineered crops, cloned animals, etc., to run the Department of Agriculture.
As you will see below, Vilsack is truly Monsanto's poster boy. He pre-empted the local votes of towns and counties who had voted to disallow genetically engineered seeds!
It is still possible to block Vilsack's confirmation with a massive support of the petition drafted by the Organic Consumer Association. It's easy to sign on at this link to stop the appointment of Tom Vilsack:

Thank you for taking the time to help organic farmers and consumers to stop the appointment of Tom Vilsack, a proponent of genetically engineered food or Frankinsteinian food.
