Why I want you to Vote Yes on Prop 37

For all of you who remain undecided on PROP 37 on this years' California ballot. May I strongly encourage you to support it.  

I could go on about my personal feelings about GMOs and the harm they may do, but that's not what Prop 37 is about. Simply put, Prop 37 will allow us to know what is in our food. Period. It's not anti-GMO, it is pro-consumer. It is pro-knowledge. 

Please talk to your neighbors and your friends about it. Find out how it's one of the biggest grass roots efforts on the Ballot for years. I myself was one of the thousands of un-paid volunteers who stood on corners and gathered signatures for it. 

Ignore the adds on TV paid for by the 34 million dollars donated to the anti-Prop 37 campaign by the likes of MONSANTO, DUEPONT, and DOW CHEMICAL. They are only meant to confuse the issue. 

This is a citizen effort, where all government regulation and common sense have failed us. We are THE ONLY industrialized nation that hasn't labeled GMOs. It will not cost the government nor the people of California anything, and it will cost companies very little to actually change their labeling. It's just ink. The only entities that will loose from Prop 37 passing are the companies that sell GMO seeds, the companies that sell pesticides, and the companies that profit from the undemocratic industrial food system and have no interest in change.

What we as the public seek to gain is: knowledge about our food supply and the ability to track how it will effect us and our children. We currently have no way to know what the long term effects of GMOs are- because we don't know where they are. Also: if California passes Prop 37, it is likely the entire US will label GMOs. This is why companies are campaigning so hard against it. Our small window for affecting great change on the nation's food supply is Prop 37. 

Lastly, if Monsanto et. al. are so proud of their GMOs, why wouldn't they want them labeled so people can go out and find them?

Enough said. Please stand with me, send an email or a text to everyone you know, and collectively, let's VOTE YES ON PROP 37.
