In the videos above, activist Adam Eidinger proposes a GMO shareholder resolution at Monsanto's 2012 annual shareholder meeting. He tries to make the board and shareholders more aware of the dangers of Monsanto’s pesticides and GMOs, the company's questionable practices, and the growing consumer backlash.
In related news, the White House has refused to release a January 11 e-mail that Monsanto-linked lobbyists sent to top Obama administration policy analyst Peter Schmeissner.
Based on other e-mails they have already obtained, the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) believes that the e-mail in question could reveal that the White House is colluding with lobbyists to defend the planting of genetically modified crops in wildlife refuges.
According to Truthout:
"In the emails obtained by PEER, longtime biotech lobbyist Adrianne Massey asks Schmeissner if the 'interagency working group' is addressing the PEER's legal challenges. Massey also forwarded environmental assessments of proposed GE crop plots at wildlife refuges in other regions of the country. These assessments could protect future GE crop plots in refuges from legal challenges."
