*Stop Vilsack's Confirmation as Secretary of Agriculture*

Despite a massive public outcry, including over 20,000 emails from the
Organic Consumers Association, President-Elect Obama has chosen former Iowa
Governor Tom Vilsack to be the next Secretary of Agriculture.

While Vilsack has promoted respectable policies with respect to restraining
livestock monopolies, his overall record is one of aiding and abetting
Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) or factory farms and
promoting genetically engineered crops and animal cloning. Equally troubling
is Vilsack's support for unsustainable industrial ethanol production, which
has already caused global corn and grain prices to skyrocket, literally
taking food off the table for a billion people in the developing world.

The Organic Consumers Association is calling on organic consumers and all
concerned citizens to join our call to action and block Vilsack's
confirmation as the next Secretary of Agriculture. Please help us reach our
goal of 100,000 petition signatures against Vilsack' nomination. Sign today!
Your email will be sent to your Senators and the President-Elect's office.
