>Announcing the second annual midwest
>anti-genetic engineering roadshow
>
>Road Resistance Against Genetic Engineering (RoadRAGE), is touring the
>midwest this spring. We would like to bring our colorful, dramatic,
>humorous, and well-informed presentation on the threats of genetically
>engineered foods and agriculture to your community.
>
>Through radical cheerleading, a slide show, skits, short talks, and
>puppets, our multi media show entertains, informs, and works to build a
>base of resistance to GE foods and agriculture in the midwest.
>
>We are interested in scheduling tour dates throughout the month of
>April.

>Last year, the “Life” science industry launched a $50-million ad
>campaign to convince Americans that the manipulation of life at the
>genetic level, corporate ownership, and industrial food is what
>Americans have always wanted. Lured by promises of federal research
>dollars and venture capital investment in new businesses, midwestern
>politicians and universities also preach the genetic engineering gospel.
>In the midwestern US, where much of the global food supply is produced,
>the acceptance and widespread use of genetically engineered foods not
>only puts the health of eaters around the world at risk, but severely
>compromises the independence of farmers, rural communities and economies
>here at home.
>
>Luckily, a rag tag group from Columbia, Missouri sees through the
>corporate farce, and we’re taking our message to the people of the
>midwest. Our multi-media hour and a half presentation, includes a slide
>show, radical cheerleading, short talks, music, puppet shows and skits.
>The show follows the plight of an innocent midwestern community besieged
>by corporate executives and public relations lackeys scheming to corrupt
>mid-American values for profit, profit, profit.
