Yes! I Stand with Family Farmers vs. Monsanto!

On January 31, family farmers will take part in the first phase of a court case filed to protect farmers from genetic trespass by Monsanto’s GMO seed, which contaminates organic and non-GMO farmer’s crops and opens them up to abusive lawsuits. In the past two decades, Monsanto’s seed monopoly has grown so powerful that they control the genetics of nearly 90% of five major commodity crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, canola and sugar beets.

In many cases farmers are forced to stop growing certain organic and conventional crops to avoid genetic contamination and potential lawsuits. Between 1997 and 2010, Monsanto admits to filing 144 lawsuits against America’s family farmers, while settling another 700 out of court for undisclosed amounts. Due to these aggressive lawsuits, Monsanto has created an atmosphere of fear in rural America and driven dozens of farmers into bankruptcy.

Farmers need your voice today. Please spread the word today.

We need your help today. Farmers need your help.

On Monday we sent out an urgent petition to Stand With Farmers as they seek their day in court for a groundbreaking lawsuit that will protect them from Monsanto’s abusive lawsuits for alleged patent infringement.

Already more than 24,367 people have signed it, but it’s not enough. We need to let more people know about the threat that farmers are facing in America and it’s up to you.

Help us reach 40,000 signatures in the next 3 days so that  family farmers know that the American people stand behind them.

In what can only be described to be another example of Agribusiness and Government interference in the lives of America’s family farmers, if Monsanto’s genetically modified (GMO) crops contaminate an organic or conventional farmer’s fields and that farmer saves and replants their own seed, under current U.S. law, the farmer can be sued by Monsanto for patent infringement.

Does this even sound like it could happen in America?

In fact, between 1997 and 2010, 144 farmers have already been sued by Monsanto and another 700 have settled out of court for undisclosed sums. Many times these abusive lawsuits force farmers into bankruptcy and off the land. We can’t allow that to continue to happen.

This is appalling. But it only happened because of the powerful collusion between corporate agribusiness and elected officials who have turned our regulatory agencies into revolving doors between Monsanto’s executives and other corporate officials.

Unfortunately, this collusion has left U.S. farmers trapped in an Orwellian Catch 22. If their neighbor plants a field next to theirs that contains GMOs and the pollen containing Monsanto's patented genes engineered in a lab blows across the fence onto their land and contaminates their crops, then they can not only be sued by Monsanto, but also lose their farm if they can’t afford the court costs. Sadly most can’t afford the fight. And Monsanto knows this.

Help put an end to the fear and intimidation that Monsanto’s abusive lawsuits have spread in rural America.

Click here to automatically sign your name and say, “I Stand with Family Farmers”. America's farmers have never needed you more than now!

On January 31, family farmers will finally have their day in court as a federal district court judge has agreed to hear oral arguments on a case challenging Monsanto's aggressive patent infringement lawsuits against farmers. As a plaintiff in the lawsuit, Food Democracy Now! will be there and want to make sure that America's farmers know that citizens everywhere stand with them.

Thank you for participating in food democracy,

Entering into 2012, Why Do we need Consciousness Life Coaching ?

As I reflect on it now being 2012, I am very much aware that we have stepped up our acension focus. For many of us we have been working on clearing our spaces for a very long time. I personally started in classic talk therapy back when I was a 'troubled' teen. It seemed to transform my life and I moved forward. I defined who and what I thought I was to be and then proceeded to BE it. Years passed and I decided I was 'still flawed' as I found myself very unhappy as a wife and mother. I couldn't figure out what was 'wrong with me'. So I went back to the couch to fix me (again). That work seemed to transform my life and I again moved forward until I became very depressed and figured I was 'still broken'. So I began inner child work (and got a divorce) and the game continued.  This pattern of feeling that I was at fault, something must be wrong with me, I'll find someone to fix me, good ~ I'm better now, just kept cycling through my life.

Then one day I became aware that I was not conscious and MY life began.  As I became conscious, I realized that I am not troubled or flawed, nothing is wrong with me, and I was never broken.  I realized I have been taught that I was “not good enough”, that I “don’t deserve”, especially if I haven’t “earned” it.  All of these energies, and so many more, had kept me controlled in fear and prevented me from connecting to my true self. I woke up and saw how I was looking outside of myself for validation of my worthiness and how no one give me permission to become consciously aware. WOW! Once I became aware I gave myself permission, and my life began to change. I studied energy, I became a Master Alchemist, I learned consciousness concepts.  I learned many tools and I learned to embrace the change. I was able to break out of the patterns of who I was supposed to be and found my authentic self joyfully blossoming forth.

You see, the journey into consciousness is more than just clearing or meditating. It's learning how to let go of everything we thought was truth, especially the beliefs we hold onto that cause us pain and dis-empower us. Discerning becomes an art. Life will become real, in the sense that we will understand that everything is an illusion.  Perception can change everything and the new found energy of love will define our new Earth in ways that we are just beginning to imagine. We choose Happy as a state of being and life becomes an adventure.  It is now a joy to be in this world and a pleasure to share it.

I am not better than anyone. I am an Alchemist and a visionary. I am a teacher, I am a Healer, and I am a Leader. I am just a small step in front of you and it is my passion to be of assistance to you as a Consciousness Life Coach. It is my core belief that my life is about 100% personal growth AND 100% about service to others.  It is my desire to personally guide you from your awareness into consciousness.

So if you have found your way to this page and it resonates with you, you will certainly be able to feel the hope of happily and intentionally creating the life you desire. Allow me to give you that step up through Conscious Life Coaching.
