you have my support vicki.
The Seralini, et al study is particularly devestating to the GM corporations because the group
doing the study is an independent group of highly credentialed professionals from a variety of
fields. They recently removed a woman on their Board due to conflict of interests—she worked
for the pharma? big food? industry. Then they passed a new regulation for themselves to
refuse participation of anyone with a conflict of interest in order to maintain their independence.
Next they struggled for a long time to get any information from Monsanto. I believe there is only
1 really bad study that Monsanto would release. Getting permission to use their product was also
an issue, if I am not mistaken. So given these 2 facts alone, the new study from Europe carries a
lot of weight. The timing for release of the results seems clearly well planned given the Calif.
referendum.
I believe that Russia just pulled GM crops (need more detailed info on this).
So when anyone talks about ‘safe’ studies, you have every right to laugh out loud and demand the
studies. I think you can fairly claim that Monsanto has refused to release its studies or data.
And you can cite people like Putsai who worked for the UK research on GM. He has come out
as a whistleblower who was pushed out of his office because he stated publicly that GMOs are
not safe. His interviews have been used in films like The World According to Monsanto and a
couple of others. If you have not seen any of these excellent documentaries, please avail yourself
of them and try to do public showings of the film. It is worth buying the DVD as that would support
the work of Jeffery Smiith and the Institute for Responsible Technology. There website is an
excellent source of downloadable information.

yes it is, since i originally posted that i started our own PAC here in Florida, working with the originators of the one in California, to get a similar amendment on our ballot also. we had an article in our local newspaper Sunday and it was very one sided. it tried to paint the issue as a fight between the organic farmers vs. conventional farmers. AND... they stated there have been numerous studies showing GMO's are safe??? what??? i sure havent seen one. and there have been numerous showing how bad they are for you and the fact that these modifications allow excessive drenching with roundup of these crops making them even more toxic. very sad how big $$ owns the media. i will be writing a rebuttal to this article. doubt it will make the paper but at least i can try. i have been on a couple local radio shows so far but am trying to get on local tv news but their sponsors are big pharma and big agro so it will be a challenge.

YES the referendum is on the ballot Big Yea!!
However the battle line are heavily drawn. Monsanto, et al, including the American General Foods consortium
(all the big supermarkets) are pouring millions into defeating this referendum. Today ANH posted several articles
including another report of $4-5 million more poured into the media wars to defeat.
Stoneyfield dairy has been reluctant to join the frey. But I think they were embarrassed into it. Remember that
Stoneyfield, Whole Foods and ????? (brain glitch here) signed a memoradum of understanding in which these
so-called organic purveyers agreed to back of from supporting efforts for GMO labeling. With friends like these,
who needs enemies—right?
So everyone needs to get on the horn and get info out about the vote and education. Mercola.com just did a
video on GM. Jeffery Smith’s newest documentary Genetic Roulette was online free for about 2 weeks. Don’t
know if it can still be watched for free or it needs to be bought. FYI, I think I sent that free watch announcement
to minutus a couple of weeks ago when I got it.
Please, everyone do what you can to support this effort. Send money, send energy, contact everyone you know.
What happens in California will affect all of us directly, one side of the fight or the other. We cannot allow thes
industrial goons to have such control over life itself.
BTW, Barry Commoner died yesterday. He was one of our first environmentalists after Rachel Carson. But he
was more progressive as he saw the political and economic relationship between environmental issues and the
economy and poverty and all the other social ills of injustice that we battle. And of course this includes the
status of homeopathy. Here is the link to a great article on his life and contributions to humanity, social justice
and the environment.

I received a take action email 30 minutes before a Senate vote yesterday at 2pm EST , I did use the ANHA website to send emails to my Senators, unfortunately the loudest most outspoken and influential one here in the USA, Chuck Schumer, a NY democrat, doesn't accept these emails and has a web based form to use which this group says is anti-democratic.
Seems in USA politics, many important issues are not given much public airing nor chance to hear other viewpoints and legislation can get passed before one knows what happened.

Do they pull these shenanigans in England, France, etc.?
