This is urgent! Trump is ready to bless a merger between chemical giants Monsanto and Bayer to create a $100 billion agribusiness beast designed to dominate our earth's food system.>It's not only bad business to allow one company to grow this huge, it's against the law. And two little known regulators in the US and Europe can stop the deal. The problem is they're being pounded by lobbying from two of the world's most powerful corporations and a President hell-bent on seeing the deal succeed.
Only a massive movement like ours can counter the assault. We beat Monsanto twice last year in exactly this way, but this time we need unprecedented numbers to show the regulators people everywhere want to stop a megaplan backed by President Trump.
1,087,801 have signed Avaaz.org's petition.
I think the real solution at this stage is for so many people to write their Senators of both parties that the Senate will pressure the Justice Department to intervene. A long shot, but this is one we have to try. If ever there were a time to write your Senators and Congress member, this is it!
If that fails, it falls upon Russia to prevent this merger, and so get ready to write to not only Putin but to the Legislative body for the Russian Government in Moscow.
[The 616-member parliament, termed the Federal Assembly, consists of two houses, the 450-member State Duma (the lower house) and the 166-member Federation Council (the upper house)]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
II do believe, perhaps naively, that an outcry from the Senators, the most powerful people in the government outside of the Administration, could save the day and block this merger. Otherwise, it is going to fall on Russia, plus of course serious enough outcry from France and Germany that might make the EU change its mind, plus the obvious thing lacking is that this is being approached by the EU from the anti-trust monopoly manipulation and absolutely nothing about a far great danger, the health concerns and ramifications of a Monsanto/Bayer merger.
