Prop 37 Petition to Organic Food Manufacturers

[Portia]

The California Secretary of State has made public the financial contributions for supporters and opponents of Proposition 37, the initiative on the November 6 ballot that would mandate labeling of genetically engineered ingredients in foods. The corporate owners of Horizon Organic, Silk, Cascadian Farm, Muir Glen, R.W. Knudsen, Santa Cruz Organic and many other brands have already joined Monsanto and collectively donated millions of dollars to keep consumers in the dark.

Meanwhile, food manufacturers that share the values of organic consumers, like Nature’s Path, Lundberg, Organic Valley, Nutiva, Amy’s Kitchen and Eden Foods have financially contributed to support Proposition 37 (along with major allies Dr. Joseph Mercola at mercola.com and Organic Consumers Association).

Organic consumers deserve to know where their food dollars are going – are profits used to support Monsanto and other biotech corporations, or are profits invested in grass-roots efforts like passing Proposition 37 in California? Please make your voice heard by signing the petition:

1. Tell the corporate players opposing your right to know what’s in your food that if they want your business, they can't sell-out organic values.
2. Thank independent organic business that have put their money where their mouth is.
3. Ask large organic brands/companies that are missing in action to pony up. Talk is cheap.

We will send your statement along with thousands of others to organic corporate executives. They will listen to the most powerful authority in organics — the consumers. You hold the purse strings!

Please forward this Action Alert widely to your friends, family and colleagues!
