Dear John,

Monarch butterflies have declined by 99% in the West -- largely thanks to
Bayer-Monsanto’s RoundUp®. But RoundUp®’s impacts go far beyond pollinators --
this pesticide has been linked to cancer.

And now RoundUp® is causing big problems for Bayer-Monsanto. Thousands of people
with cancer are suing the pesticide giant alleging exposure to RoundUp® caused
their cancer. In every case that has been decided so far, judges have ruled in
favor of the cancer patients.

Now, with more lawsuits in the pipeline, the company is facing increasing
scrutiny from its shareholders and the public. In response, it’s trying to
settle these cases out of court for billions of dollars. It’s trying to keep
RoundUp® out of the public spotlight and on store shelves -- and keep pretending
that its safe.

Stand up for people, butterflies, and our planet: Tell Bayer-Monsanto to stop
selling cancer-causing RoundUp®!

The evidence against RoundUp® has been building for years. The science is clear
-- RoundUp® wipes out milkweed, the only food young monarch butterflies eat,
which is leading to their declines.

At the same time, the WHO and the state of California have determined that
glyphosate, the key ingredient in RoundUp ® , is linked to cancer. Now, with more than 40,000 people suing Bayer-Monsanto
over its link to their Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, the company can’t keep hiding
from the truth.

I know you share my outrage over the harm RoundUp® has caused to pollinators and
people, John. But now, we have a unique opportunity to
change things -- Bayer-Monsanto’s shareholders are furious. The company’s
insistence on selling RoundUp® is hurting its business -- and potentially its
bottom line.

Now Bayer-Monsanto’s shareholder meeting is approaching, and a major investor is
suing the company over the merger deal. We must up the pressure on
Bayer-Monsanto. We can’t allow the pesticide giant to keep poisoning people’s
health and our environment.

Send a message to Bayer-Monsanto: Stop harming people and pollinators with
RoundUp®!

RoundUp® is still the most widely used pesticide in the world. Every day that
Bayer-Monsanto continues to sell it, monarchs are put at greater risk. And more
peoples’ health is at risk from this cancer-causing chemical. All so this
pesticide giant can maximize its profits.

With pressure mounting from consumers, scientists, and investors, now is the
time for Bayer-Monsanto to cut this toxic chemical out of its portfolio. We need
your help sending a loud, resounding message to Bayer-Monsanto: Stop poisoning
people and pollinators NOW!

No more toxic RoundUp®: Demand Bayer-Monsanto stop poisoning people and
butterflies NOW!
