Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Dear Friends, Here is some hopeful news about a bill to require labeling of genetically engineered foods and how you can help with just a few moments of your time. John PS: The bill currently has 33 Cosponsors. Please see: http://www.thecampaign.org/ and: http://www.thecampaign.org/action.htm ~~~~~ Labeling Legislation Introduced to Congress! H.R.4814 Genetically Engineered Food Right to Know Act (Introduced in House) Dennis Kucinich, a Representative from Ohio, introduced legislation last month that would require labeling of food products which contain genetically engineered ingredients. In over 30 countries, consumers have the right to know if their foods contain genetically engineered ingredients . . . but the U.S. isn't one of those countries! It will be an uphill fight to get this labeling legislation passed. The biotech industry, including Monsanto, is lobbying hard against your right-to-know. You can send an e-mail and fax a letter to your Representative from our web site. Just click or cut and paste this URL into your web browser: http://www.truefoodnow.org/bin/takeaction.fpl?action_id=128 Or you can send your Representative a personal note. These letters are particularly effective because you took the time to write. You can find your Representative's name and address in the front section of the Yellow Pages or from: http://www.thecampaign.org/congressletters.htm To contact your representatives by phone, just call the national Capitol switchboard at 1-202-225-3121 and ask to speak to your congressman and senators. Please let us know what kind of response you get from your representatives. You can send us an e-mail at: truefood.webmaster Thank you very much for your timely action on this important issue.
