Stand up to Monsanto: Label genetically modified foods

I have cancer, and my doctors are telling me to be careful about what I eat. I have a right to know whether or not my food is genetically modified. It’s my life on the line. Please join me in a Labeling Initiative to Congress.

Why is this important?

Genetically Modified ingredients are in 75% of the foods on America's supermarket shelves. They 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.

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. There have been laws introduced in 19 states that would have required labeling of genetically modified foods, and on November 6 California may become the first state to pass GMO labeling legislation at the ballot box.

Don't align with Monsanto, which was voted the most hated company on earth for 11 years running. Please align with your constituents, and:

1) Support 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.
