It is July 27 11:00 a.m. At this very moment Monsanto is having their Monsanto Global Engineering Backyard Barbecue in Mcdonnell park on Adie rd. in St. Ann MO! This is not a joke! I just saw them cooking up lots of meat 30 minutes ago while I was running in the park. They are under the lindbergh pavillion, the furthest one back. They even have the nerve to have a red and white checkered banner announcing their barbecue, as if it was some sweet grandmother's picnic! These are the people that brought you genetic engineering on a global scale! This is a golden opportunity to protest them. Rarely do you see the enemy in public, they are usually hiding behind their corporate walls. You can not miss them. They are the overweight white men with very short hair, pale skin and glasses. Most of them have Ron Paul stickers on their pickup trucks, a few had rebel flags! I guess Mittens Romney is not far right enough for them. I urge all local activists to get out there and protest them at this moment, this opportunity may not present itself again. Tell every activist of all types to get out there right now! GO! GO!
