*[Enwl-eng] Bayer is VERY happy

                        BREAKING: The European Commission just called 
Austria's glyphosate ban "illegal". We’ve got one last chance to get this 
toxic poison banned -- but first we have to convince Austria's government.

                        Can you chip in $2 for an ad in Austria's most 
influential newspaper?

            The European Commission just dropped a bombshell: it said 
Austria’s ban of glyphosate would be “illegal”.

            Austria was *so close* to banning glyphosate -- until 
Bayer-Monsanto got wind of the plan. And then Bayer's army of lobbyists got 
to work.

            We’ve found a legal loophole that would still allow Austria to 
ban glyphosate -- but we’ve got to be quick.

            The Austrian government is under immense pressure from 
Monsanto -- they will only act if we drown out the voices from the 
lobbyists.

            That’s why we’re planning to place an ad in Austria’s most 
influential newspaper next week to publish our new poll that shows that 84% 
of Austrians are sick of glyphosate and support a ban this year.

            Luxembourg banned glyphosate this year, and offers financial 
support to help farmers make the switch to safer, environmentally friendly 
agriculture. So there’s a way for Austria to still go glyphosate-free in 
2020, if only there’s the political will.

            Bayer-Monsanto's favourite pesticide, glyphosate, was almost 
completely banned in Austria last year. Thousands of SumOfUs members like 
you helped make that happen, despite Monsanto’s suffocating influence in 
politics.

            Every political party -- except the chancellor’s conservative 
ÖVP -- supports a ban. We CAN win this. But to make sure the chancellor 
doesn’t quietly quit banning glyphosate, we need to make his choice visible 
to as many Austrians as possible.

            Next month people living in Vienna will go to the polls for the 
capital’s municipal and district elections. I can’t imagine ÖVP candidates 
will want to explain why Luxembourg can go glyphosate-free, but the Austrian 
government supposedly can’t.

            From Austria to California, you’ve led the charge to stop toxic 
glyphosate. You’re wiping it out of our fields, grocery stores, and off our 
plates.

            SumOfUs members like you funded professional polling we 
commissioned earlier this year, that shows 4 out of 5 Austrians want 
glyphosate banned this year. Let’s remind Austria’s chancellor of that fact, 
and that if Luxembourg can ban glyphosate, then so can he.


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Clemens, Eoin, Anne and the team at SumOfUs
