For the people of Mexico, corn is not a commodity; it is the cradle of civilization and the subsistence base of rural lives and households.

We will not allow our seeds to be lost, nor will we allow them to be contaminated by the modified genetic property of transnational corporations. We will not comply with unjust laws that criminalize seeds and rural life. We will continue to protect corn and the life of the people.

It is an historic crime against the people of the corn, against  biodiversity and nutritional sovereignty, against 10,000 years of peasant and  indigenous cultivation that bequeathed this seed for the wellbeing of all the  peoples of the world.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/01E4F4CF-E012-4C71-9D3E-DA7189298205/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
