Cynical Chellie Pingree

#6 Cynical Chellie Pingree Lobbies for GMO Labeling While Pocketing GMO Money

Did you read this article in 2013? 

Let us refresh your mind:

"That Pingree’s old political materials are being recycled to protest GMOs in Maine is not surprising – as a candidate and as a Congresswoman she has been a vocal opponent of GMOs.

What is surprising, however, is that her husband S. Donald Sussman sold a substantial stake – valued upwards of $1 million – in top GMO-related companies in 2011.

Analysis of Pingree’s 2011 House of Representatives Financial Disclosure shows the sale of more than $1 million in stocks of Rehovo, Israel-based Evogene Ltd., an agriculture biotech company in which Monsanto Company owns a controlling interest and enjoys rights to certain proprietary information.

According to Pingree’s disclosure, Sussman and the Congresswoman reaped their stock sale windfall at the peak market price relative to the stocks 6-month performance—just weeks after the Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial Research and Development (BIRD) Foundation gave approval to a government-funded partnership between Evogene and DuPont’s Pioneer Hi-Bred."

We need politicians who talk the talk, and walk the walk. We've see that Cynical Chellie is a hypocrite when it comes to travelling on a private jet, and again with GMOs as long as there's money going in her pocket she will turn a blind eye.
