Are our Senators about to make a huge mistake?

I received a call this week from Food & Water Watch asking me to reach out to our Senators to represent the People of Illinois and NOT the Biotech Industry with Genetic Engineering Food Labeling on the Line.

Food & Water Watch is a consumer advocacy nonprofit tht callenges the corporate control of our food and water.  They empower people to take action and transform the public consciousness about what we eat and drink.

I asked them to send me the details so that I could forward along to all of my subscribers so that YOU can help make a difference.  We need as many people as we can to step up and help us take action on this important issue.The battle for genetically engineered (GE) food labeling is really heating up in Illinois. A special subcommittee is collecting information about this important issue to present to the Senate – and they’re getting a lot of their info from the wrong sources!

Right now, this subcommittee is leaning against labeling GE foods! Help us raise a ruckus today by calling your Illinois State Senator and telling them they’re making a HUGE MISTAKE.

Linda Holmes, of Aurora, at 1-877-796-1948
Sam McCann, of Jacksonville, at 1-877-252-4545
Michael Frerichs, of Champaign, at 1-866-739-8818

When you call, say: “Hi! I’m (Name) from (Town) and I urge my Senator to support labeling for genetically engineered foods. I deserve the right to decide what I eat, and what I feed my family. Please label genetically engineered foods in Illinois!”Senators from Champaign, Aurora and Jacksonville are participating in public hearings across the state to learn more about GE labeling, but good information is hard to find. That’s why we’re taking our message directly to their offices. If we flood their phone lines, they’ll have no choice but to listen. Today, we’ll show them we are informed consumers who demand to decide for ourselves about what to eat!  Despite our efforts to educate the subcommittee, they still seem to be buying the lies of biotechnology corporations. We need your help to set them straight!
