Monsanto Protection Act Signed and Stamped

Betsy Here.
In light of my mid-term topic I felt it was relevant to post this. Obama just signed this act into law a few days ago. It basically takes the power to regulate genetically engineered crops and seeds away from the USDA (where it had been regulated up until now), and takes away federal power to step in and stop sale of crops if they are deemed harmful.
Most of the articles on the topic are VERY bias and I did not read the actual bill, however here is the least bias article I could find if you're interested in reading more.
