Abby then calls on her viewers to take part in the March Against Monsanto, a worldwide event in which activists take to the streets to voice their concerns over GMO foods and the lack of transparency when it comes to our food. BTS wraps up the show with an interview with RT Political Commentator, Sam Sacks, about the House of Representative’s decision to strip out an amendment to the Defense budget that would have repealed the Authorization for Use of Military Force, which is the justification for nearly all the actions taken during the War on Terror.
