Dear Friends and Activists:

Washington, DC is a literal crime scene this week, a classic
whodunit. Not even a Jon Tester, a member himself of the United
States Senate, can get anyone to tell him who secretly slipped
language into the emergency spending bill that purports to forbid
both the Department of Agriculture and the Courts from containing
unsafe GMOs. This provision would purport to force release into the
wild of untested and potentially dangerous organisms, and stands to
benefit only the corporate special interests of Monsanto in
particular.

There is a word for this. And the word is graft, making law for the
favor of a particular special interest contributor. If this is such a
great provision, why is it that nobody will even admit who put it in
there?

It's not only a crime, it is irresponsible, as so many GMOs have
proven to have been a disaster already, just accelerating weed and
pest resistance. But Monsanto seeks to do the damage of reckless
release into the environment first, and test later. We are demanding
a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee to determine who is
responsible for putting this in there, and to demand their immediate
resignation, regardless of party affiliation, so that this kind of
anonymous graft can never happen again.

The action page above will send your message to all your members of
Congress and directly to the Senate Appropriations Committee at the
same time.

And please plan ahead to attend the screenings of The Last War Crime,
the movie that will end torture, in San Francisco on Saturday, May
25th, if you can. Now that we have a theater committment we are
setting this up as donation optional. That's right, all you have to
do is submit the form to get your ticket reservations. Of course if
you can make a contribution of any amount, that is what makes it
possible for us to secure a first class venue like this, and to make
free tickets available to anyone who cannot make a donation right
now.

For everyone else, please get your ticket requests in and make some
kind of donation so we can make the same kind of committment in your
town as soon as possible.

We have encountered tremendous political censorship hurdles in
getting the word out about this movie, a dramatic film (not a
documentary) dealing frankly as it does with torture, accountability
for war crimes and the knowing lies that took us to war in Iraq.
First YouTube banned our relatively mild waterboarding scene.
Thousands of you spoke out against that last year and we forced them
to reverse their position.

We had to file a lawsuit against the NYPD to obtain the use of some
extraordinary photos they had from 9/11, which most people have never
seen before. We won that lawsuit and those pictures are now in the
movie.

Then MTV (Viacom) and radio station WMAL in Washington, DC (Cumulus
Media, the second largest radio station chain in the country)
rejected ads for the movie, both while confessing the reason was
political. We have already filed a federal lawsuit against Cumulus
for what we are calling "political speech discrimination" and
anticipate a hearing in front of a federal judge in due course.

Won't you help us fight back against all this suppression of the
truth? All we are asking you to do is be in a seat when The Last War
Crime movie is playing near you. And that only way that can happen is
if you speak out now by submitting the ticket request form, which in
San Francisco on May 25th we have already made donation optional.

So here are those ticket links again for The Last War Crime, the
movie that will end torture.
