The bill to enshrine corporate power over people power, SB 633 PASSED in the Oregon Senate today on a close vote (17-12). This evil, undemocratic and heinous assault on our rights is scheduled for a First Reading in the House tomorrow, May 2.
After that reading it will be referred to the Chief Clerk and then to the House Speaker for committee assignment and a work session that must be scheduled within 7 days.
THIS GIVES US SOME TIME TO WRITE A PERSONAL NOTE TO OUR REPRESENTATIVES. FIND YOUR REP HERE: http://www.leg.state.or.us/findlegsltr
PERSONAL NOTES ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.
Then, as SB633 rides a river of money through the process you can keep calling and emailing.
SB 633 is what MONSANTO wants! It is dangerous not only because it preemptively denies basic community rights, it also exposes future generations of human, animal and plant life to genetically tampered organisms, many of which are outlawed in Europe because they only benefit Monsanto and they impose the risks on society.
Representatives need reminding - By fighting SB 633, the people they represent are claiming their Constitutional right to choose the fates and futures of their communities, farms, seeds, and food.
PS - The Oregon Legislative Information System (OLIS) is an excellent way to track bills. http://www.leg.state.or.us/index.html
I called the Legislative Administration Services and got fast, courteous responses to my questions FROM "Committee Services."
