Did foreign pesticide companies buy Meggers’ vote?
Internal Draft
Did Bayer/Monsanto buy Rep. Josh Meggers’ vote? Exclusive tickets to one of the biggest names in country music, a photo-op, and VIP pre-concert perks. Did this violate Iowa’s $3 gift limit? Bayer thanked Meggers in this Register ad immediately afterward. Was this gratitude for future pesticide immunity votes? If Meggers’ vote was bought, who else is compromised?
Foreign chemical companies are lobbying Iowa legislators to grant them complete liability immunity when their pesticides cause Iowa farmers Parkinson’s disease, cancer, or other life threatening conditions. Contact your legislator today, and tell them NO to SF 394.
ChemChina’s weed killer Paraquat has been linked to a 500% increased chance of developing Parkinson’s disease, and multiple Iowa farmers are in court seeking to hold them accountable. Bayer’s weed killer RoundUp has been linked to a 41% increase chance of developing non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and multiple Iowa farmers are in court seeking to hold them accountable. Those are just two, among hundreds, if not thousands of pesticides on the market in Iowa. SF 394 would give every chemical company, including companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, complete liability immunity for the harm that their pesticides cause to Iowa farmers.
