Tell McDonald's: Stop Marketing Junk Food to Kids

Join tens of thousands of people around the world calling on McDonald's CEO Don Thompson to end the burger giant's predatory marketing to our kids.

Without any hearings on the matter, the Senate included language that would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to essentially ignore any court ruling that would otherwise halt the planting of new genetically-engineered crops. But it's not too late. You can still demand that President Obama refuse to sign the budget bill into law unless the biotech rider (aka Monsanto Protection Act) is removed.
