And the rest of New England. Just like marriage equality.

there is a petition circulating to get Obama to make this National and Oregon and Washington and many other States are fighting for this as well.

It is imperative that we put all the pressure we can on Obama now to replace Tom Vilsack and Michael Taylor. Geitner is on his way out, these other 2 are the other major disappointments from his first 4 years. Please download the poster on this link and spread it around. Stop buying products from the companies who let Monsanto get away with this and support those who fought it. [link:http://www.commondreams.org/newswire/2012/11/07-19|

eating GMOs.

Put Monsanto and those using their Frankenfood out of business. Lists of what food brands to avoid are all over the 'net. If the label doesn't say that the product is certified organic, don't buy it.

I remember reading that even Orville Redenbachers was GMO. Surprised me because supposedly it was specially bred to be bigger and better.

and they will be regulated and labeled, or they will go away.

GMO labeling efforts change course after California defeat
By Carey Gillam and Lisa Baertlein

(Reuters) - The failure on Tuesday of a California ballot initiative that would have mandated labeling of genetically modified foods is not a death knell for those seeking nationwide labeling, U.S. labeling proponents said.

President Barack Obama's re-election could be a boost, as he is seen, in general terms, as being supportive of labeling. Still, efforts to force change at a federal level could face an uphill climb.

"The federal effort is a monumental task without a state victory somewhere," said Michele Simon, a public health attorney from California.

New state labeling initiatives are planned for Washington state and Oregon. Beyond that, the action now shifts to Washington, D.C. and efforts to force change at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has primary regulatory oversight for food and food additives.

we'll WIN the right to see those GMO on food products.. Like we're seeing warnings on cigarette packs that people still smoke. At least they're freaking warned.

Thanks for this update, Judi Lynn!

level, too. What would help is a movement in each state demanding that GMO's be outlawed entirely. Maybe if that is demanded by citizens, the proponents of GMO's wouldn't be so reluctant to at least label them.

... has put Monsanto's Man in charge of the Department of Agriculture,
and a Monsanto Lobbyist in charge of the FDA.

Google: "Vilsack & Monsanto.

Google: "Michael Taylor & Monsanto"

As far as I can tell NOBODY with a commitment to Natural, Healthy, Foods or Organic Farming was given a position of power in the current Department of Agriculture or the FDA.



You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their rhetoric, promises, or excuses.

factor here in CA. We are such a gigantic agricultural state and a lot of people don't realize this. They also don't realize that much of that agricultural is controlled by huge corporations, not single family farmers.

Someone who is on the side of the people and the environment.

We need to keep trying on this one. Just goes to show, big money and big lies can SOMETIMES be enough to brainwash the people.

Was it some sort of scare campaign? It seems such a no brainer.

In other words, lies. And the pro 37 campaign did not have the money to counter them. This is one example of a Citizens United casualty from last night.

It seems like anything that should be a given to pass there gets defeated because the opposition outspends the proponents. I guess I have a false idea of California. Gay Marriage, GMO labeling, Legal Weed, all outspent and defeated..

Democratic candidate, don't know how to wade through the murkier propositions, many of those written with opaque and misleading language. Add massive misleading ads and sadly, most often usually liberal voters will vote for the Republican backed proposition. This is one of those instances.

has always been first in the Nation for leading in Healthy Food. That's my personal observation since the '70s.

Bummer.. I only shop at Natural Food stores who don't sell those products but it would be really nice for people to know what they're buying.

Starting with Reagan, Arnold...no pot, no gay marriage and now this?

information campaign was backed by Monsanto and Dow chemical, but people are still so naive that they believe those evil companies have their best interests at heart. It's so discouraging.

at making people think they have their best interests at heart.

Some aren't so fooled..like the ones who have lawsuits against Pioneer here on Kaua'i.

fighting this will all their might.

Knocking on doors, standing on soap boxes in the park. I don't know exactly what but I feel only people power, like an Occupy Movement will get the lies exposed. Or, maybe I'm engaging in wishful thinking.

California Voters must not have paid too close of attention to..



Fantasy scenario:.. Monsanto people throw their plush high society party..an unknown some one from the umbrella corporation spritzes their maraschino cherries with a special formula.

Party goers fall over in agony and become ZOMBIES.... Zombies attack and kill the Monsanto department heads...turning them into Zombies...

ALICE SHOWS UP!

Let the games begin!

People believed the misleading advertising. They pulled the same tactic about Prop. 13 saying passing it would save old people from losing their homes. We have been suffering draconian losses from that ever since then, from the dismantling our free university education system to institutionalized homelessness. What I'm saying is they got a lot of the liberal votes from misinformed Democrats. It never would have passed otherwise. I'm kinda pissed with our CA DNC for not fighting this harder.

Just SICK. Yeah, hey, whatever, feed me whatever garbage you want! Why should you have to tell me about it? So what if the shit causes cancer in lab animals!

to require a regulatory system, they thought labeling would kill their market....they made a big mistake. A few real tests and they will be out of business entirely.

here is a 10 minute excerpt: [link:http://www.youtube.com/user/GeneticRoulette|

This issue is as important as jobs, IMO, we are what we eat.

Well, I give up, I can't make the link work from what I can see here, so if you don't see a link just go to YouTube and search for Genetic Roulette.

Same as with labeling kosher food.

Non kosher food isn't poison. But some believe it is unclean or whatever and it hurts nothing to label it.

If you don't feel you have enough info waiting to make a decision is always the best course of action.
