***Americans for a Sustainable USDA: PLease Sign!!!***

Mon Dec 15, 2008 1:49 pm (PST)

    There is still a possibility that one extremely critical position won't go to a corporatist. Wherever you are, please sign the petition below!!!

    This is a petition asking Obama to appoint a "sustainable" choice as Secretary of Agriculture. Now, online petitions never work, but listen: Michael Dimock, president of Roots of Change (a non-profit where I currently volunteer), was on a conference call with Obama's transition team last week. He says that they are aware of the petition and said that 25,000 endorsements would get their attention, and 50,000 could really influence Obama's pick.

   It's currently at 42,000, and slowing down. Please take 15 seconds to sign, and a few moments to pass this along to your own networks. To reiterate: this petition has the attention of Obama's team, and they are expected to make their choice public very soon, so there are only a few days left to press for a reform-minded choice.
