Dear hans friedhoff,
Preparing for the Democratic presidential primaries, prospective candidate Hillary Clinton appointed long-time Washington insider Jerry Crawford as adviser to her Ready for Hillary super PAC.
Crawford had worked on the Clinton, Gore, and Kerry presidential campaigns in past elections. He also worked as a lobbyist for the genetically-modified seed supplier Monsanto.
In 2010, the corporation hired Crawford to back Republican Agriculture Secretary Bill Northey against anti-trust Democrat Francis Thicke. Thicke was a critic of Monsanto, who uses copyright claims on the DNA in its seed to protect its agricultural monopoly. With Crawford's endorsement, Thicke lost the race, and Republican Northey kept his office.
Now Crawford is gunning for Hillary. As journalist Zaid Jilani writes, "It is telling...that someone who worked as a hired gun for Monsanto to defeat a progressive Democrat is so enthusiastic about a potential Clinton presidency."

PETITION TO HILLARY CLINTON: We call on you to replace campaign adviser Jerry Crawford on the Ready for Hillary super PAC. As long as agricultural monopolies support your campaign, we won't.
