By


On Dec. 17th Tom Vilsack was chosen as Obama’s nominee to be the next U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Vilsack ran on the 2008 campaign for president and has ties to Monsanto.

"Vilsack has repeatedly demonstrated a preference for large industrial farms and genetically modified crops, as Iowa state governor, he originated the seed pre-emption bill in 2005, effectively blocking local communities from regulating where genetically engineered crops would be grown; additionally, Vilsack was the founder and former chair of the Governor’s Biotechnology Partnership, and was named Governor of the Year by the Biotechnology Industry Organization, an industry lobbying group. Vilsack has also been known to travel in the Monsanto jet." Tom Vilsack wiki
