Farmers to Attend January 10th US Court of
Appeals Oral Argument in Appeal of Dismissal OSGATA et al v. Monsanto; 10am
Citizen's Assembly for Family Farmers to Follow
WASHINGTON, D.C. -
January 4, 2013 - Dozens of family farmers, Plaintiffs in the landmark lawsuit
Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association et al v. Monsanto,will travel from
across America to Washington, D.C. next week to take on Monsanto and demand the
right to farm. They will attend the January 10th Oral Argument in the Appeal of
Dismissal to be aired before the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. A
Citizen's Assembly in support of family farmers at 10am in Lafayette Square will
coincide with the beginning of the Oral Argument inside the court room.
"Our farmers want nothing to do with Monsanto," declared Maine certified
organic seed farmer, Jim Gerritsen, President of lead Plaintiff Organic Seed
Growers and Trade Association. "We are not customers of Monsanto. We don't want
their seed. We don't want their gene-spliced technology. We don't want their
trespass onto our farms. We don't want their contamination of our crops. We
don't want to have to defend ourselves from aggressive assertions of patent
infringement because Monsanto refuses to keep their pollution on their side of
the fence. We want justice."
