The latest campaign finance disclosure records released by California's
Secretary of State reveal that the most evil corporation in the world,
Monsanto, has forked over another $2.89 million to kill Proposition 37,
the historic bill that, if passed, will require genetically-modified
(GM) foods and food ingredients to be labeled at the retail level in
California.
Combined with its other recent contributions of more than $4.2 million (http://www.naturalnews.com), Monsanto has now officially shelled out a total of more than $7.1 million to prevent consumers from knowing the truth about what is really contained in the foods they buy.
Along with Monsanto's latest contributions were similar contributions by the other five of the "Big Six" pesticide firms -- DuPont, Bayer, Dow, BASF, and Syngenta -- which together gave more than $2.6 million to the No on 37 campaign as part of their most recent contributions. To date, the "Big Six" have collectively contributed nearly $20 million to keep Californians in the dark about GMOs.
"Monsanto wants to buy this election so they can keep hiding what's really in our food," said Gary Ruskin, campaign manager for Yes on Prop. 37,
about Monsanto's efforts to stamp out the potential for mandating food
transparency. "(But) they are on the losing side of history.
Californians want the right to know what's in our food, and we will win it."
