Here's one for all you American citizens who want to see a change in your country to factory farming, animal cloning and the promotion of organic practices instead of "Franken-Foods." This is for BOTH animals' and humans' sakes. (don't forget - what you eat, so do your furkids eat) President Obama has just disappointed and alarmed many people with his choice for the new Secretary of Agriculture, the so-called poster-boy for Monsanto.....yikes. Here's the bulk of the email I just got about this:

In spite of 20,000 over 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.
Vilsack is truly Monsanto's poster boy. He pre-empted 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.
