OK. I contacted all my Congresswomen and asked my Senators to support
Feingold in his filibuster. It only takes a few minutes. You can cut and
paste the message to the first Senator into the message box of the
second. Let your representatives know what you think. It's the American
way.

Then you can get back to gardening . . . unless you are distracted by
the refusal of our government to label GMOs in our markets, or label
hormones in our food, or their refusal to allow farmers to do a more
thorough testing of their meat than is required, or to stop feeding the
residue of potentially sick animals to healthy herbivores. Maybe the
governments subsidizing of an unhealthy diet, or it's promotion of
unsustainable petrochemical fertilizers and pesticides that create a
paucity of nutrients in produce from our factory farms, and also kill
the soil, water ways, and large parts of the oceans, while adding to
erosion, lack of clean water, and dwindling bio-diversity of nature.
These same agro-petrochemical cast-offs from our war machine accumulate
in our bodies and roughly coincides with increased incidents of
coronary-vascular disease, diabetes, obesity and a weakened immune
system. What the mad scientists call the "green revolution" is really
creating GMOs (that don't produce more food and must be purchased at
great price) that allow the even greater usage of biocides in the food
chain.

So give a shout out to your Congresspeople, and let them know what you
think.

Dang, I forgot to write about defunding the WTO, IMF, and the World
Bank, nuts. I guess I have another letter in me;O)
