Hi Margaret, thanks for your reply. I lead an official not for profit cause as a tax exempt organization. Please help me spread the word by joining my cause and sharing it with your friends. You don't have to donate, but everything is secure here at causes through network for good and paypal. Here is my link. I really would appreciate your help. http://www.causes.com/causes/750943-promise-seed-cdc-inc

Just think how much the government would save in food stamps lol. Seriously, why is this even an issue? Power and control. If a property owner wants to use his soil to sustain life, then its his/her right to do so. Stop governing what people are allowed or not allowed to do with food for personal consumption.

If we are what we eat, It's important to be able to have the choice to grow it. And by doing so have a little bit more say so about what is in the food we are growing to eat...It's still hard to tell what exactly is in the soil we are using and if the seeds/plants are GMO.
