Let's not let this die in some committee consisting of senators bought and owned by Monsanto -

"The House Republican’s government funding bill, which passed in the
House last week, contains a three-month extension of the Monsanto
Protection Act, which shields companies like Monsanto and Dow Chemical
from legal action resulting from Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)
crops. The Act also places the authority of whether or not GMO crops can
be grown and sold domestically into the hands of Federal Department of
Agriculture rather than with the courts or public referendum. The
Democratically-controlled Senate is making no plans to work to keep the
rider active beyond its current expiration date."
