    If we don't know about the evading corporations and their methods of evasion how or why would we contact Congress? You missed the point. This article and the website it links to gives citizens the information necessary to contact Congress with facts.

    And your comment is nothing but unsupported characterizations and sweeping generalities. Would you care to name some of these "tremendous benefits to the 'enviornment'"? Frankly, you sound like a flack who gets paid per comment posted.

    They had to fight to get information released because something is being hidden. If all is well with GMO'S and GMO's are safe and beneficial then there would be nothing to hide. We are supposedly given choice in this country And even if GMO's are safe, I still have the right to know. It would seem a simple argument, why any argument at all, seems like a no brainer. The people want to know what's in their food, let them know, period. As far as the fish, you can eat Alll you like. If this salmon gets through, I vow to never eat any kind of salmon ever again, and I have that choice.

    Madison always seems to be ahead of the game. I only wish we had such a progressive city to lead on issues in our state.

    I understand that sounds reasonable on the surface, "debt crisis." However, it isn't what happens in real life. In real life, perhaps oddly and unlike household debt, national debt (which is borrowed at interest close to 0%, you know) takes care of itself. For example, remember the WWII debt? It shrank all by itself, and recently just disappeared through a crack in the floor. The 1% has made a good thing for themselves out of saying, "If your household ran a deficit...," and gotten everyone who is not a mathematician or a reputable economist nodding. They are hoping you won't notice that national debt and household debt behave nothing alike, and are in many ways adverse in their behavior. By the way, since there is no debt crisis, you might want to think about getting a different handle before someone notices that fact, and you disappear in a poof.
