California-Genetic Engineeded Food Labelling Act

[Guest guest]

Hello California Food Activists,

October is right around the corner. That's the month for us to start

gathering signatures to get the California Genetically Engineered Food Labeling

Act on the ballot in November 2012.

Folks, we need your help! This is a unique opportunity, something totally

new for California. What we do here will change the face of GMO policy in

the whole country. If you care about your right to know what's in your food,

then NOW is the time to ACT. We are at a crossroads with both GMOs and

this campaign. If we want to see labels on GMOs, we need to amp it up in

September with meetings and in October gathering signatures. The future of our

food and the future of biodiversity depend on it!

While we are growing every week, we still need contacts and organizational

" Seed Meetings " in some key areas in Southern California. If you live in

any of these areas please help us organize a meeting so we can find others

who want to gather signatures.
