> I wanted to make sure you heard the good news. Yesterday, Vermont became the third state in the U.S. to enact a GMO labeling law, and theirs is the strongest one yet! Protect Vermont's new law and speak up for your right to know what's in your food!
> 
> Right now, Monsanto is lobbying to pass a bill in Congress that would essentially kill Vermont's new labeling law, and stop other states from passing similar legislation. Plus, this nightmare bill would make it impossible to pass GMO labeling on the federal level — keeping consumers in the dark about whether their food contains GMOs. 
> 
> We have a right to know what is in our food so that we can make educated decisions about the food we eat. Please write your members of Congress and ask them to oppose the "Monsanto Dream Bill."
