Default Sign petition to USDA to protect crops from being fertilized by pollen from GMO pharm. crops

this is to protect crops from GMO crops containing pharmaceuticals. The
USDA is setting up regulation to allow GMO pollen to drift into other crops,
by allowing pharmaceutical crops to be planted in open fields.

It's already happened many times that a farm that had organic crops, was
contaminated and fertilized with GMO pollen carried by winds. This will
make the once organic crop become a pharmaceutical crop.

about 15 seconds to sign the petition:

GMO's have been reflected in scientific journals to have caused human
deaths, allergies, changes in nutrition.
World new has reflected GMO crops contaminating non-GMO fields (which then
become owned by the corporate seed company since they have a patent on the
GMO plant).
The Starlink incident, and finding GMO pharm. crops in a field of soy, show
the inadequicies of the current system to protect crops from being
contaminated with GMOs.
