Thief In The Night: GMO Labeling Banished By Federal Govt.
Like a thief in the night, pretty much unreported by the corporate news media, the Obama regime and Congress, earlier this summer, silently and with few watching, gave the Monsanto, et al. corrupters (of agriculture) exactly what they wanted: a toothless GMO "non-labeling" law that pretends to be a labeling law and unconstitutionally pre-empts the Vermont GMO labeling law, the only one in the nation. The law violates the 10th Amendment of the Constitution, which says that states have the right to make their own laws as long as they are not in conflict with the Constitution. Vermont should challenge it all the way to the Supreme Court.
Addendum (10/2/16): GMO Labeling Politics Isn't Over, Yet
Genesis: Chapter 1: Verses 11 - 12: Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed bearing plants and trees on the land that bear the fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so .... And God saw that it was good.
Just because the Obama regime has put their imprimatur on a Monsanto-approved non-labeling of GMO food bill that last summer became law, though unconstitutional; pretends to be a labeling bill; and pre-empted a real GMO labeling law out of Vermont; doesn't mean that GMO labeling & GMO ban politics are over -- hardly. The Revived Citizens Party will continue trying to pass a GMO labeling initiative in Washington (getting it on the ballot and enshrining it through the vote), and will push to have it legally bypass the federal statute, on 10th Amendment grounds, by going to federal court. This time the language for the initiative will be the toughest for any labeling bill or initiative in the country in regards to anti-GMO politics. After all, God commanded that natural food is good. It is complete arrogance to take what God has commanded as good and pass it through laboratory tubes for modification and correction -- not to mention insane.
