Local GMO laws threatened by state legislation

[Guest guest]

ACTION ALERT FOR CALIFORNIA USA RESIDENTS

On 28 June, the California State Assembly Agriculture Committee will consider a

bill (SB 1056) that will take away local government authority over seed

regulation.

If passed, this bill will override restrictions on GM crops and seeds.

 

In 2005, a groundswell of organizational and citizen response stopped the

California

pre-emption attempts - help prevent the passage of this bill once and for all.

 

1. Call, email or fax your own Assembly member to ask them to oppose SB1056.

True

Food Network http://www.truefoodnow.org/ has set up an online action page or use

the sample letter at

Call your local elected officials and encourage them to do the same.

 

2. Attend the Assembly Agriculture Committee hearing in Sacramento on 28 June to

voice your opposition (for details, contact Becky at 510-647-3733 or

3. Forward this email to everyone you know in California and urge them to take

action!
