Dear Organic Consumer,

As you know, our country, and our world, are in trouble.

Rising poverty rates. Corrupt banking system. Soaring public health issues. Unending wars. Crumbling infrastructures. Broken education system. Global warming. 

Pick your problem. 

With so much work to be done, you would think Congress would have better things to do than waste its time helping corporations hide the truth about the products they sell you.

Yet thanks to hordes of Monsanto lobbyists, 275 members of the U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to keep you from knowing whether or not the food you buy has been genetically engineered and doused with cancer-causing Roundup.

Any day now, the Senate could do the same. And the GMO labeling fight will be over.

We are about to enter a critical phase in the GMO labeling battle. Can you support this work with a donation today? We need to raise $200,000 by midnight September 30, to give this fight our all. You can donate online, by phone or by mail, details here.

We shouldn’t have to fight  this hard, spend this much money, devote this number of staff hours, just to get a product that’s produced with a known carcinogen, labeled.

But here we are. And we need your help.

Now that Monsanto has rammed HR 1599, a bill we not-so-affectionately call the DARK—Deny Americans the Right to Know—Act, through the House, it’s only a matter of time before we see its companion bill introduced in the Senate.

Monsanto has done a masterful job of masking the true intention of this bill from Senate members. 

We know this. Because we read the industry propaganda that deceptively portrays the DARK Act as a consumer-friendly bill which merely creates a “uniform federal labeling standard”—when what it would really do, is guarantee GMO foods will never be labeled.

We know this because our staff and volunteers have been meeting with Senators and their staff all over the country. It’s been an uphill battle at each and every one of these meetings to undo the lies, untangle the half-truths that have wrongly convinced many Senators they should vote “yes” on the DARK Act.

Can you support this work with a donation today? We need to raise $200,000 by midnight September 30 to give this fight our all. Please make a generous donation today online, by phone or by mail.

We’re not just holding meetings. We’ve been writing and placing letters to the editors and op-eds in national newspapers. 

We’ve hired our own lobbyist to prepare a critical legal analysis and meet with key Senators. We’re working with state GMO labeling co-sponsors on a letter to Congress outlining why they should defeat the DARK ACT.

We are preparing petition deliveries to Sen. Bernie Sanders in Burlington, Vt., and to President Obama, at the White House. 

We have press conferences in the works for later this month. 

We’re planning a national rally in Washington D.C. next month, in front of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, the multi-billion dollar trade group that helped Monsanto write the DARK Act.

We are throwing everything we’ve got at this. Just to get a label on a product produced with a chemical the World Health Organization has declared a human carcinogen.

We shouldn’t need to do this. But we do. And we need your help.

This is it. This is the critical phase in the GMO labeling battle. ... 

Thank you!

National Director, Organic Consumers Association and Organic Consumers Fund

Given that the foreign-owned corporation, THE UNITED STATES, masquerading as "Our" controlmind, is NOT going to let Us choose Their CEO... That "elections" are there to make Us THINK We have a choice....  That registering to vote is consenting to the rule of the corporation, submitting Oneself to it....  (THAT is what They're after...)  I will doubt "voting" will make any difference.

No, since the "elected officials" are SElected and officers of the corporation, They only provide an illusion that They are listening, and yes...  Being psychopaths for the most part, money/power/control is Their motive.


I do not like mob rule.  I support a solutocracy, and Human sovereignty.
