Here at WOYP central, we are not happy about President Obama’s nominee for Chief Agriculture Negotiator at the U.S. Trade Representative’s Office, Islam Siddiqui. Mr. Siddiqui is currently the vice-president of science and regulatory affairs at CropLife America (formerly the National Agricultural Chemicals Association) and used to be a pesticide lobbyist. CropLife is a big trade group that are responsible for almost all the toxic pesticides in America, and Siddiqui’s agenda as VP has recently included weakening the Endangered Species and Clean Water Acts, andfighting to keep DDT in use. We can’t let the senate confirm Siddiqui! Check out this online form that lets you send a message to New York’s senators. Siddiqui must be stopped!
