CALIFORNIA: Tell Your Senator You Want GMO Labels on Your Food!

Dear Agnes

Vermont just passed the nation's first no-strings-attached GMO labeling
bill. Now it's California's turn! The California Senate is debating SB
1381, a bill to label genetically modified foods (GMOs) in California. We
need your help to bring this bill to the Senate floor for a vote.

Please call your senator today and ask him or her to support SB 1381 for
GMO labels on food in California!  [

SB 1381 is a simpler, clearer version of Prop 37. If signed into law, this
bill will ensure Californians' right to know how our food is grown and
produced. And it will send a clear message to the big food and agriculture
corporations that they can't keep us in the dark about the widespread use
of GMOs in our food system.

Your state senator could be a critical swing vote in passing this bill
once it reaches the Senate floor.

Contact your Senator today and ask him or her to support SB 1381 for GMO
labels on food in California!  [

Polls, both before and after the Prop 37 election in 2012, showed that 67
percent of Californians support a state GMO labeling law. The opposition
spent $46 million in 2012 to confuse voters about Prop 37. Now corporate
lobbyists are in full force at the state capitol, spreading their
misinformation in an effort to defeat SB 1381 in a Senate floor vote.

Join the tens of thousands of supporters – from Moms to farmers –
across the state in support of GMO labeling.

Tell your Senator -- it's time to speak up for our right to know what we
are really eating.  [
