To see anyone supporting this rider is simply astonishing, let alone our elected officials. It is essentially deregulation of our food protections and it ties the hands of the Federal Courts should there be any problems with Monsanto's products. Iow, no one can sue them. They have free reign to do whatever they want without fear of consequences.

How anyone, let alone any Democrat could have voted for this is beyond words.

If anyone doubted that our country has been taken over by Big Corporations, this should prove it beyond a doubt. They are writing our laws!! NOT our Representatives. Congress is merely a rubber stamp for Corporate America now.
