Monsanto & friends are spending over $1 million a day to fight GMO 
labeling and defeat Prop. 37.  YOU CAN HELP.  JOIN the VOLUNTEERS to 
FIGHT BACK NOW!


In less than 2 weeks, Californians will vote on Prop. 37. This is an 
historic campaign - it would mean that for the first time in the 
United States, consumers would have the right to know if the food 
they are eating has been genetically tampered with by chemical 
companies.
Monsanto, DuPont, Dow Chemical, Pepsi, Kraft & Coca Cola have 
invested over $40 million and are spending  $1 million per day to 
deceive Californians. They are  flooding the state with misleading 
ads to confuse and scare the voters and to trick people into voting 
against their own best interests.  And it's working. In the past week 
our poll numbers have dropped from 61% to 48%.

WE MUST FIGHT BACK.

Here are the ways YOU can help to fight back:

1.	If you live in California, 
<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=PebUmO0%2FYZRZSlIxk2CH9gG34bDAL6tS>click 
here  to find your local leader and get involved. You can be a part 
of history in the making and help your state pass groundbreaking 
legislation. Your help will make a difference!

million more Californians before Election Day, November 6! It's super 
easy to volunteer. Sign up for a shift of your choice based on your

deciding votes.  You can make a difference. We know we can win with 
your help! We are in the home stretch. California needs your help NOW.

Please pass this on to friends and family who would be interested as well.


The truth is getting out! Together we can overcome the dirty campaign 
efforts of chemical and big food bullies! With your help, we can win!
