Ban Roundup, like the Netherlands

Friends,
The government of the Netherlands just took a huge step to protect its citizens – and it's time more countries did the same.
Monsanto's Roundup, a toxic weedkiller that contaminates soil and water, causes devastating health problems in humans who are exposed to it. Now it's illegal for individuals to buy it in the Netherlands.
This is a huge victory. Monsanto fought this law every step of the way, but the Dutch parliament did what was right. No matter how hard Monsanto tries to bend the law to its will, Monsanto can be defeated. 
We're calling on other European governments throughout Europe to follow the Dutch example and ban the sale of Roundup, the poison that Monsanto sells.
Sign the petition to ban the sale of Roundup Europe-wide and protect our health from Monsanto's designer chemicals.
