The House recently extended a provision that makes it harder for environmentalists and their lawyers to prevent farmers from planting genetically-modified crops. Opponents refer to it as the “Monsanto Protection Act,” and some GMO protesters showed up today at the Hart Senate Office Building to make it rain “Monsanto money”:

Can the cash be swept into a pile and used to fund a couple of White House tours or to re-open a memorial for a little while?
