This was forwarded to me, and seems well worth consideration. The petition is very easy to sign (at the first link) and accompanied by valuable and easily accessible information on what's at stake.

Friends,
In a bizarre and apparent contradiction to Senator Obama's
announcement that he wants an organic garden at the White House,
Senator Obama has chosen Tom Vilsack, a strong bio-tech proponent
supporting genetically engineered crops, cloned animals, etc., to
run the Department of Agriculture.
As you will see below, Vilsack is truly Monsanto's boy. He
pre-empted the local votes of towns and counties who had voted to
disallow GE seeds!
It's still possible to block Vilsack's confirmation with a massive
support of the petition drafted by the Organic Consumer Association.
It's easy to sign on at this link:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/642/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1783
or from the Organic Consumer Association website
http://www.organicconsumers.org/
Your email will be sent to your Senators and the President-Elect's
office.
