from organic consumer association:I-522 UPDATE Poisoning Minds For more than two decades, Monsanto has been poisoning our water, our soil, our food. But right now, the Biotech Bully is focused on one thing: Poisoning the minds of voters in Washington State - voters who are still on the fence about I-522, an initiative to label GMOs in food sold in grocery stores. Last week, Monsanto and friends launched a statewide, anti-labeling, anti-I-522 ad blitz. It looks a lot like the $46-million worth of negative, deceitful ads they unleashed last year this time in California. Ads that helped defeat California’s GMO labeling initiative. Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Bayer, BASF and the Grocery Manufacturers Association (representing the junk food gang) are footing the bill. With almost $12 million (so far) to spend, they’re running ads that are dishonest and misleading. But clever. And convincing. If you’re a busy mom or college student, a distracted worker with too much on your everyday plate, you might be hearing “GMO” for the first time. From Monsanto. The lies Monsanto will feed you – that labeling will cost you money, that farmers and grocers will be hurt – just might resonate. If you never see or hear the truth, from the YES on I-522 campaign, you could be one of the voters who checks the “NO” box. That’s what we’re up against, today, in Washington State. And that’s why we need your help. Today. To reach all those fence sitters. And the voters who are hearing about GMOs for the first time. Your donation will help us dilute the poison. And win this seminal GMO labeling battle. Thank you!
