John Boehner takes their cash, as do many other RINOs:

I work for a seed company; we do NOT sell ANY GMO seeds, but I can expect to be GRILLED at least once a week by a customer about Monsanto and if we buy anything from them. (We don’t!) Prior to my current gig, I worked for a non-profit seed company, specializing in heirloom (open-pollinated) seed.
Monsanto is NOTHING but trouble; it has become a front for something much, much worse.
Any of you that are interested in gardening/cropping/preserving and saving seed, etc. should join Greeneyes and the FR Gardening Thread.
Also? Learn about saving seed and start your own little home-based Seed Bank. You’ll be glad you did! :)
Excellent post. My daughter in N. Idaho has been fighting against a commercial “grower” that just moved into their rural neighborhood and is using poisonous pesticides. The state banned use of some of them this year. She’ll be interested to know that Senator Risch, James E (R-ID) took $3,500 from Monsanto—and so will her neighbors.
Southern Idaho is a Monsanto-ized mess, grows pseudopotatoes for McDonalds. I avoid Idaho potatoes altogether.
