Tell Pesticide Peddlers: We support Michelle Obama's organic garden.

**J* L* <j*@gmail.com>**

Dear Friend,

The Mid America CropLife Association (MACA) has a bone to pick with
Michelle Obama. MACA represents chemical companies that produce
pesticides, and they are angry that - wait for it - Michelle Obama isn't
using chemicals in her organic garden at the White House.

I am not making this up.

In an email they forwarded to their supporters, a MACA spokesman wrote
http://www.lavidalocavore.org/showDiary.do?diaryId=1309
, "While a garden is a great idea, the thought of it being organic made
[us] shudder." MACA went on to publish a letter it had sent to the First
Lady asking her to consider using chemicals -- or what they call "crop
protection products" -- in her garden.

I just signed a petition telling MACA's board members to stop using
Michelle Obama's garden to spread propaganda about produce needing to be
sprayed with chemicals. I hope you will, too.

Please have a look and take action.
