To: The United States House of Representatives and The United States Senate
Congress: It's time to label GMOs
Genetically modified ingredients are in 75% of the foods on America's supermarket shelves.
I have a right to know if my food is genetically modified.
Please pass a bill that requires labeling of foods containing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Ninety-one percent of the American public supports the right to know if foods are genetically modified. This may be the greatest level of bipartisan constituent agreement you've ever encountered on any issue in your career.
Please align with your constituents, and:
1) Support national GMO labeling legislation that is at least as strong as what is on the ballot in California; and
2) Support the right of states like California to mandate labeling of GMOs.
Thank you.

Why is this important?
My 11 year-old twin sons have autism. Autism and food allergy rates have skyrocketed at the same time that genetically modified foods entered our food supply. Genetically modified foods have been linked to toxic and allergic reactions in people; to sick, sterile, and dead livestock; and to damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals. Like every other American, I should have a right to know if the food I buy for my kids is genetically modified.
