Tom Vilsack for Secretary of Agriculture in the new Obama administration? Talk about the fox guarding the hen house! Vilsack has been a huge supporter of industrial agriculture, CAFO's (factory farms) and genetically engineered crops, and was voted "Governor of the Year" by the Biotechnology Industry Organization.
To protest this outrageous sign of business as usual from our new 'agent of change,' who took money hand over fist from these guys on his way to the White House, sign this petition by the Organic Consumers Association.
They are mobilizing hundreds of thousands of people to say NO to Vilsack. Their website links to several alternative choices who would move us forward toward safer, sustainable agriculture -- in other words, real change.

Rant away, sista! "Change" was nothing more than a Sesame Street-level campaign slogan for another puppet candidate. As the famous humanitarian Henry Kissinger said, "Control oil and you control nations. Control the food and you control people."
