*[Enwl-eng] Say no to corporate immunity for cancer-causing chemicals

[enwl]

                        Monsanto’s RoundUp has been linked to cancer. It 
wrote a Congressional bill to protect itself.









                        This Corporation Poisoned the World with RoundUp 
Weedkiller. Now It's Written Legislation for Congress to Escape 
Accountability.

                        Glyphosate is a toxic chemical used in the 
now-infamous weedkiller RoundUp, created by Monsanto and its parent 
corporation, Bayer. It's become an extremely controversial chemical, because 
hundreds of thousands of people have come forward to reveal they developed 
cancer after being exposed to RoundUp.

                        But Bayer wants to protect itself from having to pay 
people who were poisoned by RoundUp. So right now it is intensifying its 
lobbying efforts with U.S. lawmakers. It's also outright written a piece of 
legislation for the U.S. Congress, one that would insulate Bayer from 
accountability.

                        This is a clear conflict of interest, and deeply 
corrupt. No corporation should be allowed to write laws for Congress, and 
certainly not laws that protect themselves from justice.



                        The effects of weedkillers like RoundUp can be found 
everywhere. Research has discovered traces of it lingering on the foods we 
buy, including products like cereals and oats, as well in our water 
supplies, in our bodies, and even in human sperm.


                        The World Health Organization's division on cancer 
research concluded that glyphosate is likely carcinogenic — in other words, 
a cancer-causing toxin. In the U.S., Bayer has stated it has faced 170,000 
claims of RoundUp-related cancer, and that's just from agricultural workers.



                        Many countries have restricted or even outright 
banned its use. This includes Vietnam, Mexico, France, Germany, the 
Netherlands, Belgium, Costa Rica, and more. But the U.S. has still not 
banned glyphosate yet, because lobbying efforts by parent company Bayer have 
been extremely effective.

                        We cannot let Monsanto write legislation for 
Congress, and we certainly cannot let it inoculate itself from being held 
accountable for its own dangerous, toxic chemicals! Sign the petition!






                 Thank you,

                        Miranda

with full immunity. Sign the petition to say "no."
